Looks like B5 blue. Nothing wrong with that color at all unless you don't like blue.

If it were mine and I HAD to change it I would lean towards yellow, white, or silver.

Lime green, hemi orange, viper yellow or black would be on my list if I was you.

I think the most value is originality..
Go with the original color right down to the
original color undercoats to get the right
(original) hue....

if it was red primer/ light grey sealer/
teal paint... that will look awesome!

My vote is , when in doubt
keep it original...

Good luck to you!

That's Q5 turquoise

I like that colour too. I had a 69 that colour, and really liked it. I doubt originality will make any difference in vehicle value given the modifications made to the car(motor, etc..)

Are you putting the vinyl top back on?

As for a colour other than the original, HArd to say. It looks like a bit of a race car, so something bright. Yellow perhaps, or really crazy red.
