I think you should just repaint it that color you have on there already, louis. I think thats a great color for your beast.

If you are going to try and keep this car as original as possible, then you should certainly repaint it the stock color. If not, then might I suggest Mulsanne Blue........of course, I may be just a little bit partial when it comes to that color!

Louis,

I voted for Original Dark Corvette Red.  That will look awesome on your beast.

I say go with the original color, that way if you have any documentation for the car it will match

Sunburst? Like Go Mango?  Go Mango was a shade of Green.  Maybe your thinking Top Bananna?

I say go with the original dark red color car. I like my black but I think your car looks good with the dark red and those wheels too.
