1.black
2.red
3.Lyndale blue
3.silver (tie)

I have to say that interior options matter. I'll take a black with black, or blue, or red, or saddle interior over my #2 paint choice. Some paint choices for me (L blue, silver) are only on the list for me with one interior choice.

I like these three color combos in order. However, I am a lowly model builder/dreamer, and not an owner:

My coupe was built in Sunfire Yellow and had been painted Rally Red by the time I bought in 1984. When I had to have some cracks fixed, I chose to have it repainted Lynndale Blue.

The only difference between a dreamer and an owner, is having a plan to get there.

Marina Blue/Bright Blue
Tuxedo Black/Red

Default colors

coupe- black. goodwood, silver

ragtop- marina, marlboro, goodwood

came soooo close to a 67 red 390 coupe in 1970, hit in left rear quarter while parked, tried to get it from a half azz body shop who ended up stripping an otherwise perfect car because the guy couldn't pay storage.

then the 67 goodwood raftop in 1968. 435 with white stinger..it was raining that night... $$4,300.. guy complained of bad mileage.

stop, stop, can't take the memories

Great - about once a year we get one of these so members can be annoyed and insulted about the color of their car or their favorite color. All you guys with green cars - hang in there. I like green.
