Think about this I have been told that Pontiac offers owners of old Pontiac's cars a chance to get the buildsheet and history of where the car was sold new. The trim tags have been changed and without tank stickers or POP plates who Knows? ![]() Most have restamped engines or were small block cars that are now big blocks and have been color changed to more popular color combos. How many of these big dollar mid-year cars for sale do you think are 100% correct. If the color change is hurting the sale of your car go to and get a tag made with code 973 red. The folks who want to buy a nice shiny red Corvette are unwilling to pay a premium for the originality of your car. The folks who are interested in buying an original car will want to deduct for the non-original color. On the other hand, the non-original color detracts from the premium that you can get for the originality. On one hand, it's very original and should bring a good price based on that. So I think your car falls in a tough "intersection" of two different categories. Most folks who care about numbers, originality, and correctness would also like for the car to be painted in the original color. This is where the impact of the non-original paint color will hurt you. ![]() That said, I seem to remember that your car is very original and "correct" from a numbers standpoint. Lots of folks long for a bright red vintage chrome bumper Corvette. The fact that your car is painted "resale red" will likely help you sell it to the right buyer. If your car has a 9+ quality paint job in a non-original color, it will be worth more than if it had a "4" quality paint job in the correct color. ![]() Rick, in general, the condition of the paint job and body work counts the most.
