Which color. I may keep may sell, depends how much i need to finish the back-half and painting of my 73 plymouth, also efi'ed and turbo'ed.

Which color do you think looks best and what brings the best price?

i like charcoal, anyone else? maybe the 350z blue

Bright red is not called resale red for nothing. Personally, I think that if you take the time to paint the car right and get the body work perfect, black with excellent chrome is hard to beat.

I guess the bottom line is what do you intend to do with it? If you want to keep it, then pick the color that makes YOU happy. If you want to turn it quickly, then paint it red or silver.

Of course, hot pink with purple racing stripes has a certain allure. LOL!!

Just my opinion here. I always thought black over chrome looks cheap and ghetto. My first Roadster had that. Sigh...

I'd say no bumpers are far better than painted bumpers. Maybe black taillight housings but headlight scoops in black? I'd have to see it

Chrome is timeless.

Blacked-out chrome reeks of the 80's.

Case in point, my dash clock is chrome, it doesn't work.

IMO The basic shape and style of the bumpers and other trim pieces are classic, not modern. Chrome to me is the only thing that would work with the stock parts. If you were to go with no bumpers and minimal trim, then maybe black or body color would work, but then it is a like it or hate it thing.

For resale, chrome always works. Great chrome can even make up for a substandard paint job as it draws the eye to it.
