Well the one I bought started life as Burnt Orange and was repainted same.  I personally will change the color as the One I had way back then was FE5 Red.    BO just doesn't appeal to me but then that is just my opinion.

FE5......   :thumbsup:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

I am in a very similar situation! I am cloning a 318 70 Barracuda into a Cuda or an AAR for resale and I have being contemplating the exact same question.

I agree burnt orange is cool, but for resale, it might as well be brown on brown. Too limited of a market. My car is blue on blue, and again, too limited (plus I can't stand blue on blue, so it will be changed!).

In talking with many people, to hit the masses, it would have to be orange, red, or possibly yellow. If I were keeping my car, I would paint it Sublime, but I know many Mopar guys who hate that colour, but they would buy an orange or red car.

I know a lot of guys say, "Paint it a High Impact colour", but somehow they forget, some people hate pink cars, some hate lime etc. Purple is so overdone, white and black is like any other vehicle: "Too hard to keep clean", silver is just boring, brown is...well brown, green/gold/cream are cars that people repaint anyway.

I have decided to go orange, and I would suggest that to you. It (or red) would be the easiest to sell. There's a reason 80+% of 69 GTO Judges are orange (actually called Carousel Red??).... :2cents:

My dads cousin has a 70 RR BO on BO car with black vynil top, air grabber original car.  One of the sweetest combos, I really like it with black on the roof and hood.  But, for resale, its a whole different story, as everyone else said.
