Default Most Desired 68-69 Color

Guys,
I have heard alot of opinions and I know it's personal taste. If you were ordering a 68 or 69 what color would you go with?

Second vote for LeMans Blue (just had mine repainted that color), although Coronado Silver with a red interior is pretty sharp.

"most desired" and "color you want" are two different things.

I believe a real Tuxedo Black 68 or 69 with a real code 900 trim tag could be considered "most desireable" seeing how they stopped painting them black until 1977.

However, if the car is not a real Code 900 car, you are just talking about painting it an incorrect, non-original color anyway so if that's your decision you should just go with personal preference.

6th vote LeMans blue with a black interior and top.

Althought my favorite color on cars and bikes is gun metal grey ,But to keep with the 68-69 style LeMans Blue over Blk is hot

My '69 is Riverside Gold...people love it today. It was not popular back in the day. Times change and so do people's tastes.

The most stunning combination known to God and man-- Red over Black.
