If it's an real billboard car, you'd be dense not to. :)

If it's an impostor then leave them off and focus on the beautiful design on the car. Just my three cents.

I think flat black billboards on a black on red 'cuda would look awesome.

  Go with the billboards.     :2thumbs:   I added them to mine. It definately gives the car a more aggressive look.

Have some sick fun. Put a different color billboard on each side. That will keep the cops baffled.

The car was originally green. it is painted black now.  At this point,  I really don't think the fact that it originally had billboards matters much.

If you where trying to put it back to stock, then yeah, you would "need" to put the billboards on.  Since you are not, it is just a matter of if you want to.

I would do it. It will complement the nice paint job imo.
Nothing last forever, so be thankful for what you have while you still have it. :)

Go with the flat black
Funny story about mine...just yesterday I took the car out for a spin. First time in almost a month, and a guy pulls up next to me to ask what engine do I have "340 or 440?"
I get that a lot, even though my numbers are plastered on the sides and tail.  :bigsmile:

I could go either way as the red interior will break it up if you don`t put them on however the flat black billboards on a black `71 look awesome.  :2thumbs:
