The difference in value can never justify being unhappy with the car because its not painted the color you want. If you plan on keeping the car for a while, then the choice is easy......paint it whatever color you want. My car is an original R/T SE with 383-4, black interior, and orignally F8 green......when it is completed it will be go-mango w/ gold pearl, and maybe have a 400 stroker. I also already changed the car to power steering, replaced the stock 3-speed with a 4-speed, and have a 3.55 posi to replace my factory 3.23 open. So basically the only part of the car that will have what came from the factory will be the interior. Unless somebody looked on my fender tag, they would never know the difference. Some people may not like it, but its MY car and I will be happy knowing that it was done the way I wanted.
