New here...looking for paint suggestions for 66 Barracuda

This Barracuda has been in the family since day 1.  I have decided to restore it as you can see in the above link. I cannot decide on a paint color etc. The interior is all original and is not being touched b/c it really is in great shape. I cannot tolerate the yellow anymore. It was repainted  (poorly) years ago, but the pale yellow has to go.

I am also adding vintage a/c but that's about it on the mechanical side for now w/exception on new exhaust system due to safety concerns.

Suggestions?

Welcome to the site.

SS1 from your fender tag indicates the car was originally Ivory, you can see a paint chip for it here;
