If that custom paint job was on a 318 powered coupe, it would be cool but not THAT Cool. The fact that it was on such a rare, exclusive car, and that none of the other owners of such cars dare to deviate from stock is what made it ultra cool. Kind of like if you went to see a Willie Nelson concert at a mega stadium he'd be all right. But if he unexpectedly walked into your local pub and jammed out a few tunes, that would be ultra cool.

I'm with most of you, there is no way I would've redone that paint. That period job was just killer!! I didn't care for the mags but would've swapped over to some Keystones or something and just rocked it. . I hate slots on all cars, terrible looking wheels. Keystones would make it pop with that paint. Even if you like slots they are too dull for the rest of the car.

I’ve wondered if there would be any controversy if this had been a custom painted 318 car that was repainted back to its stock color. My guess is no. I don't think I'd do that to a 318 car either. A friend of mine just bought a '71 Cutlass that was painted in the late 80's and had an LS7 dropped in it. It's blue with gold splash graphics and some silver stars on it too. It's not a rare car at all but we're all begging him to leave the paint alone, it's just period correct cool and he agrees. He's not touching the paint!

It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. www.MoparMisfits.com
