FM3!!
Any high Impact color would be nice on a runner though, I would go for an airgrabber hood though myself, 6pk hood just doesn't look right on a 70.

Go with the pink color!!!  It stands out!!

Speaking of stand out colors.....  What was the first year Plum Crazy was offered?  I really want a Plum Crazy 67 Barracua ragtop.....

lemon71fish,

What color is the interior ?  If you're going to rework the interior anyway, I'd choose Moulin Rouge with a white interior.  Otherwise, what color is it ?

I always like Vitamin-C on the Road Runners.  Bad thing is that is seem common.

All depends on what you want the overall package to do-Moulin Rouge would really stand out,Vitamin C looks great and B5 would look really good on more of a resto.With the six pak hood I`m guessing it is somewhat modified so I`d have to say go with Moulin Rouge.

Heres the problem with some of the colors... I live in a small town, i wanna stand out and be different but look good doing it
     My dads car (71 cuda) is going to be lemon twist... also there is a yellow 340 duster running around.
     There is another guy that has a 70 roadrunner that lives 5 mins from me... his is sublime green... so thats out.
   
     My car was factory B5 with B7 interior thought that would be cool but not stand out... thats too classic for me...
   Also my car was factory with the airgrabber but it got lost somewhere over the 34 years of sitting... i bought the car with a flat satalitte hood so what better than that to put the scoop on...

My car needs a complete resto. inside and out so anything is a possibility

just dont know what to do   dontknow ... love the suggestions, keep them coming   (esp. white interior) never thought of that

thanks
brett

Has to be white interior!

B5 with a B7 interior would be pretty classy!!
