Original is always best for resale value. If its a rare car or something I'd go original, if not screw it.

But its your car, paint it whatever car you like. Don't let the market or anybody else tell you what to paint it!!

I painted my 68 RR vitamin C orange, even though the color was never offered that year. Why? because my dad was in love with that color. And it was his dream car as a little kid.

In the end, your the one driving it, not anyone else on moparts.
