I just purchased a C3 '78 with light beige/mahogany brown. The exterior is in great condition but I will be considering painting in the near future. I'd love to change the color but I'm concerned that it will be a affect resale value in the future. Please advise.
Question: Painting
Click one of the following choices to submit your response. (NOTE: Be sure to select the correct response, once you make your selection you can not change it!)
1. Is it important to keep the original paint code when restoring my C3
2. If I restore with a different paint color, will future resale value change?

Not sure how to answer a survey that asks a question. If your car is all original, numbers matching, then changing the color will affect the resale somewhat. But unless it is a very unique car, probably won't reduce it much. If you plan to keep it and drive it and enjoy it, I'd say paint it a color you like.

I believe the value of the later C3's is determined more by their overall condition then originality.
