Earth tones don't bring premiums on vettes, but if it's what you like, you can enjoy a discounted price. Just remember that it might be harder to sell on the backside.

I agree. Color is a big deal on all classic cars. Certain colors bring premiums, and certain colors bring discounts.

And speaking of earth tones - My car was originally Riverside Gold, and was repainted Lemans Blue by the previous owner many years ago. I like the existing color, but I think I'm pretty settled on Sunflower Yellow at this point, because I really don't want to be just another one in the sea of blue, red, and white Corvettes that blends in with the others.

I agree with Mike... I think the Bronze could be described as somewhat "polarizing" as compared to the "safe" colors like blue or red. Some people will likely love it; others not at all.
Personally, if I were considering the car to be used as an eventual trade on another car, I'd be less interested in a color that did not appeal to a wider audience like the safe colors.

I see this is an old thread that’s been resurrected. By coincidence there’s now a “70 bronze for sale on BAT:
