Hey guys, haven't been on here in a while but i remember everyone being cool and knowledgeable, so i have a question.

I came into a possession of a 1972 nova and it just needs a paint job and interior, so i am going to do this really quick before i sell it.

what color do you guys think would net the best resale value on this car?
should i go with resale red? this car looks really good in blue.... hugger orange?

thanks a lot
matt

They look good in red, black, dark green and blue, but if you want to hide flaws, then white is the way to go.

I think I would stay away from resale red, its overdone. I think paint it a medium blue do hide some of the flaws. What color interior though.

I think those cars look awesome in black by the way.

As for the bold colors like orange etc, most people are not looking for that color nor do they perfer it.
