First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I really like Maize myself, but It has to be up to you. A red convertible is so cliché though. Like a red Ferrari.... But, my 67 is red...so I don't have much room to talk//// plus my wife's 68 convertible is SUPPOSED to be red...but it's gonna be Plum Mist. You see how it goes,,,, your gut will lead you..

First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... I've got a maize 67 convertible. I was thinking about going back to it, but red sure would be nice. It was originally a 326 car, but I have a 400 RA III motor that I'm going to be putting in it with a 700r4 so i can drive the wheels off it, so it seems like color is the least of the changes I'll be making.

I think it also depends on what the original color is. If the code is a sporty or popular color like Solar Red, that seems to add value or at least "sellability". If it's Maize or Verdero, you've just limited your pool of buyers. I've kept my eye out on e-bay for Maize 67's and 68's since I have an all original (unconfirmed but appears to be) basket case 67' 400 Maize FB that I may restore some day. I have been dissapointed to see that these cars either don't sell or bring about 1/2 to 2/3rd the price as a red FB. BTW Paul, I think April Gold is a great color and if that was my original color I would've went with it as well.
