74 Cuda Prostreet
« on: May 14, 2006 - 05:25:58 PM »
I have a 74 Cuda that I'm building into a prostreet.  I would like to know your opinions on body color.  Should I paint it one of the normal colors offered (purple, green, orange, yellow) or should I go with a color I like (red)?  I will have black 440 billboards.  I'm just concerned about resale value later on.

I think you answered your question.  It's your car, you like red, paint it red.  As a pro street racer it's not going to be a "points" show car so who cares other than you.  :thumbsup:

Remember you have to be happy with the car when it's done so don't worry about the other people. Paint it red and you will be glad you did. It is still a good color for resale.

 Paint it the color you want it's your car. You could also check out some of the newer colors that are out now, sometimes different is better, as long as you don't go crazy.
