1967 Shelby GT350/500 / Re: To Paint Original Lime Gold or non Orginal Nightmist Blue

Gary, you indicated the Rick Nash car had a triple gold, would it have done this with a color change? If you have a standard 68 FB with a 302, go for it as the color won't matter to most in that price range. Change a Shelby and you will be limiting your potential buyers or you will be taking a monetary hit.
Buyers today are more educated and pickier than ever because the cars have became investments.
Not a chance. Colour change is an automatic disqualification for gold as it should.
Too many interpretations of the word restored, it has a defined meaning; repair or renovate (a building, work of art, vehicle, etc.) so as to return it to its original condition "original" being the key modifier.
If its not original it's not restored, example: Keith and eleanor's cars both colour changes so NOT restored. Nothing wrong with either of the cars, I'm sure they are happy with THEIR choices just as I am happy about my choice to restore my car to concours. For the life of me I don’t understand why there is so much animosity between the so called “drivers” and “concours”.
