Would you marry a ugly woman for her money and security, or the knockout high school beauty that you love?

You have to live with the decision, paint the car the color that you love!

Why not just consult your poll results. Currently, 80% implies your car should be the color you want. I'm surprised the percentage is not higher than that.

Amazing coincidence since my 66 is white and currently in primer at the body shop

So same dilemma here.

I have my heart set on silver blue too, Trophy Blue. Now starting to doubt that and thinking maybe silver, but oooh err, black with black would look stunning

Once you go Black, you'll never go back.

Until you open the garage door the day after you shined it up and the dust on it looks a 1/2" deep!

Amen. One black Sting Ray 40 years ago was enough for me.
