Default question about value

I am looking at a 66 vert that is bone stock except the color has been changed. How much does a color change hurt the value of a survivor. car. paint job was done right just not right color to the car.

Probably doesn't mean anything to you if you don't intend to ever have the car NCRS judged. However, if you decide to sell it later, it might narrow the field of potential buyers somewhat.

I think it depends on the color the car was and what it is now. What was/is it?

If you are going to get it judged as a survivor, it will fail 80% of the paint has to pass, I would treat it cost wise like an older restoration, not a survivor.

Due to the law of supply and demand anything that narrows the field of potential buyers will hurt the resale value of the car.
