I'm having the same dilemma.  My C500 started out F8, but had a color change to orange very early on.  I like the Day 2 look, which in this cars case included a vinyl top.  So, when its redone, I'm leaning towards keeping the vinyl top but changing the color to R4.  The down side is it otherwise matches the broadcast sheet with a numbers matching engine and trans. One can wax poetic all day about what a fresh F8 paintjob looks like in the sun, but at the end of the day more people like red.  How much greater is the F8 price penalty than the price penalty for an R4 car that started out F8?

I agree with this. Even if done in f8 when it comes time to sell the buyer line will be "well it is a F8 car"

Not to hijack but is this the same car that you have posted in the classifieds ? Nice car.

Edit nevermind i see its a different screen name. whats the odds his was an f8 car thats been redone in r4.

And that he would have an almost identical avatar

Yep thats a real C500 dilemma, another colour change.
Red doesn't do it for me, its B5 or F8 GREEN...

There's another F8 car painted red and no one wants to buy it?
How strange indeed!
''Nowt as queer as Folks'' as we say in England.

If Panther Pink was available in 69, would you pick that, lol???

No way would I paint your car if it were mine, I'd leave it as is (maybe some suspension freshening) and drive the wheels off of it! I'd offer to trade you mine but it's not numbers and not together.

Jazzing up the paint with pearl is not the stock paint anymore and many buyers won't want it. 
If you don't like green then don't buy the car.
Might as well ruin it all the way and color change it to school bus yellow.

Mopar did have a rare color that was pretty much like School Bus Yellow. It was called #EL5 Butterscotch &/or Bahama Yellow.  This post is over 6 Years old. Did original Poster ever get this thing Painted? :scratchchin: :shruggy: LEON.

Yes, painted F8, looks great too.

Yes, when I get some nice pics, I'll update that thread. Put the hood latches on last night, now the hood closes properly for the first time in 14 years. I'll get the seat belts in this weekend and take it out and clean it, weather permitting. Been holding off on that until I get some rubbers in place to keep everything else water tight.

Starting to add some value with the recently acquired 'barn dust' settling on it  :icon_smile_big:
