I have a 1964 T-Bird Convertible. It is in very good original condition with 62k miles on it. It has original KH wire wheels, Ac, good working top, new brakes, exhaust, coolant system. In short a pretty nice car.

Here is the problem - I don't like the color. It is chantilly beige. I have been told many things; One is that if I change the color I will damage the value tremendously; Another is that if I change to red it won't affect the value; Still another is that if I convert to one of the other 1964 colors it won't impact the value; Lastly, I have been advised pick the color you like and enjoy the car.

I could really use some opinions on this, as well as a quantification of the demunition in value if possible. Is it down 10%, 20%, 50%? Just how much whould I loose.

Also anybody with any experience with Chantilly beige? Is it as ugly as it seems or if I repaint will a fresh coat make it look acceptable.

Thanks for the help.
