Re: {Chrysler 300} speaking of colors...original vs owner choice?

As long as you go with an original color offered on 300F that year you'll be fine, just take the interior color into consideration while choosing the color, forget about the resale go for it and enjoy it now life is short ;-)

Hi everyone,

The resto on my 300F coupe is nearing the final stages before painting starts. The car has always been white, but I think they look great in black, and my personal preference is the terracotta color they had that year, although, I can see that color not having quite as broad the appeal for resale as red/black/white, and probably in that order for many people.

One club member shared that these letter cars are worth more if they're kept in their original colors, but I have friends in my other car club that say, since I'm paying for the resto, I should make it whatever color I prefer (within reason, of course!). Given the rarity of these cars, I can't imagine a color change having too big an impact on its value, especially, if I stick to a color correct for the year/car. Plus, wasn't white the most common color on the F? Also, my coupe is one of the few that came with factory a/c, and few other neat options (power locks, automatic dimming rearview mirror, automatic headlamp dimmer, limited-slip rear diff), so I feel like it has some strong value features already.

Anyone care to share their opinions/experiences with this conundrum of original vs owner's choice when repainting these cars (or any classic for that matter)?

Best Regards,

Randy
