I'd go with Millie Miglia which can in some lights have an orange look to it.
Nice car and the paint looks great so my vote is leave it red..

I would go back to the original yellow except for the fact that the red looks like a top notch job and in great shape. Might be different if it needed paint or body work but would be a real shame to start sanding on that.

I'm trying to figure out why the script and wording, well the entire picture is reversed?
She's a beauty!

Appears to be Hugger Orange to me. My cousin has a '71 Chevelle and it appears red until it's put next to a red car and it looks as your does above. A slight orange tint.
I'd go back with WBY but I'm biased:
