I like the Black Cherry
Gonna paint mine pink with purple ploka dots just to **** off the folks that think I should paint my car for them. Besides my Grand daughter likes pink and the car will be hers some day

Deffinately black cherry with the dark red interior. just be sure your body man knows what he's doing so you don't end up with a car that waves at you as you walk by it.

Are you going to keep the top the color that it is now or change it to match the rest of the car?

Is the interior staying the dark red? If so, I don't think the Baby Blue will look good with it. You'll want to get a color that works with the interior.

Are you in a midlife crisis or are you a youngster ?

Of course the original color . Or does your wife or girlfriend don't like that ?

What's the problem anyway?

I would say since it is a full custom and not an original resto, go for what you like. Black Cherry or Candy Red over a gold base would look sweet!

Nice photo's, Huge rear quarters, Those cars had notoriously ugly origanal colors, custom is the only thing to give it some self asteam.
Mine was so embrassed by the color it just rusted away. It came with a black and gold interior.Your Lucky to have the red. I love the dash on those.The Cherry Black will look sweet.
Keystone Classics will match the sharp lines of the car nicley.

Candy appel red is tired and has been done to death. It shows no imagination. If a person want's to be original and unique these days, you restore your car so it is historically accurate. You'll be one of the very few at the car show who has dared to stray from the pack of mindless, irresponsible children that hack, chop and rape a piece of history. You'll only increase the value of the car by restoring it. You lose value the more it strays off course from being a living time capsule. That is of course you're willing to invest the 20 grand needed to get $25 grand some day. Maybe. More than likely it will end up being a project you get burned out on and just walk away from anyway. Customizing a car to the point it will never be restored, is the same as letting one rot into the ground to the point it is so far gone it is nothing more than scrap. It's the same loss. You're gonna do what you want anyway. It's just one less car that makes all the rest of ours worth that much more, as the supply of text book examples dissapear from the earth. I guess you're doing the rest of us a favor. Do you hate Mopars? Why don't you do it to a Chevy. They are laying around like spilled popcorn. No loss there.
