How much off for a color change?

It seems to me I have seen more 67's repainted in a different color than any other year. Over half of the 67 Shelby's where painted one of the two greens offered that year. It does not seem to hurt the value much. Quite a few have sold in that last few years in hues that were not original. The concours crowd is dying off. Go to a show more and more people want to enjoy their cars. I would paint it the color you want unless you want to compete in concours events.

 

When it comes to repaints, no color has been switched more than Lime Green. That was a very popular color in the middle 60's. I really like it, but, lucky for me my 67 Gt 350 was painted white.
If you don't plan on showing it in Concours competion, don't even worry about it, paint it your favorite color.
Saac's concours rules say " non-original color" up to 14 points off, if you use a non-Shelby color it's up-to 30 points off.
I'm not sure about the MCA
One other thing, somehow a lot of folks think the LeMans stripes car on 67's from the factory. They didn't, not one car.

 

I remember as kid seeing a million 67/8 Mustang Coupes that were Lime Green with Black vinyl tops. They were everywhere!! as far as how much Value is changed, I say whatever it would cost to strip thecar and Paint it the color it is supposed to be is Fair depreciation. if you can get somebody to buy that line when it comes to 67's, it is a Seller's Market!

 

In some cases the value can go up,if the car is unique,concours,the original color is a must.Red and black seem to fetch higher dollars.
