 What about Plum Crazy Purple with the black stripes across the bottom of the sides. I've never seen a early Barracuda fastback that was Purple before.

  If staying in the green neighborhood, how about jvike's choice of "Nissan Apple Pearl Green"? Reminds me of the Bright Green Metallic used in 69. For some reason i'm craving Granny Smith Apples all of a sudden...

 :bigshades: Thanks to you all for your input.  They were all great suggestions.  After much discussion with my paint/body man, I have decided to stay with the current color.   :jump3:  Due to the fact that everything on the car is green, rollcage, underneath, jambs, etc.. it will be about 1/3 the cost of changing colors to stay with the current green.  :money: It came down to cost--(don't it always?)  :walkaway: Oh well I'm happy with it as is, I just want to redo it and get out a few little gremlins. I still may go with the lower body stripes in black. I still have time to decide that.  I will deliver the car to him soon after the new year and it will stay for 4-6 weeks. I will post pics of the progress as it occurs.  Thanks again for your suggestions.....................Oldschool
