Question on overall desirability of

68
L79 matching number 327/350hp
convertible
4 speed
900 Tuxedo black
435 Tobacco vinyl

to me a very desirable combination.

car is currently painted what I believe is Lemans blue.

Both desirable w/ those options in both colors. Original color will be more desirable to someone that wants an original car in the original color. If you like the black, just drive it and enjoy it.

Black on Tabacco, pretty cool.
Blue on Tobacco, not so much.

900 paint code? and not black? you have 15 minutes to get that car back to tuxedo black or we are all coming for you. to paint a 900 car any other color is blasphemy!

Out of a total of 28,556 built in '68, just 708 came in 900 Tuxedo Black.
Desirability?....10+...in either color...
