How much $$$$ would you place on green, reducing the overall value of a Charger?

[XS29L9Bxxxxxx]

I suppose it could be model-year dependent, but let's say the car is a triple green 1969 R/T Charger

If the car were something other than Green/Green/Green, how much more would it be worth?

Or, to simplify, let's say one has a $25,000 69 R/T which is either original, or in "solid driver" condition, how much would 3x Green REDUCE that price?

Love the Ivy green. Why does everybody hate green?

[bull]

Are you saying triple green is the original color in this scenario? Because you're not going to reduce the value of a classic Charger at all if it's painted the original color. If anything, painting one something other than original is going to devalue it or at best, break even.

Yeah, green on fender tag

Well then, clearly not everyone hates green

Like I said, you are not going to devalue a car by painting it the original color.

I don't think its a simple question. It depends on what color its being compared to. A lot of people don't care for the T colors either.

Say,

3x green = T6+tan

but maybe

3x green (-15%) to 3x black.

Good points, so far

for me if its green its worth less the amount to repaint it ANY other color

Yep..    + 2 more.

green or any T color (poop brown) is less value to me vs ANY other color.  But maybe this is age related.. i'm 36.

My car was F8.  The paint was bad when I bought the car, which made a color change that much easier. Now, 12 years later, I have grown fond of the original color. NOT enough to strip the car down and return to stock, but if I found another car to build......

its not an age thing I'm 49,my cars orig color IS POOP BROWN gold & i dislike green even worse

[Vainglory, Esq.]

Maybe minus 10%.  Probably not even that, really.  I'd deal with green if everything else was there like 4-speed, original engine, etc.  Obviously I'd prefer red, but what are you gonna do?  They don't make 'em anymore.

I would pay less for a car that was originally green - that is any other color now.

I love green.

I own a white car now with a green interior, both colors stay.

I love it in most colours (it's still a charger) except poop brown and gold. What were they thinking!

Value & desirability do not go hand in hand

Value & desirability do not go hand in hand

  Although, in my opinion, if a car were painted a color that was not available for that year, to me, it would be worth less.  Say for instance, someone painted a 69 Charger plum crazy or panther pink (no offence to anyone here who has done that) but that would be worth less to me since it was not an available color in 1969.

[bakerhillpins]

Value & desirability do not go hand in hand

No, but the desirability does play a role in value. Most folks judge the value of a car by what someone would pay. If you have a less desirable car you have less buyers throwing money at it and in many cases (not all) that changes the price it sells for. Supply/demand.

For me I don't hate green paint but green interior....    Not a big fan of the green tops either.  Green with white interior cars are sweet though. 

[1969chargerrtse]

Back in the day there were 3 triple green 69 Chargers in my town.  Green was very popular back then.

[Old Moparz]

Maybe the value of the car isn't the part that decreases, maybe it's just that you eliminate some of the potential buyers with certain colors. There are colors that I despise, but if the car is in perfect condition I wouldn't say it's worth less. I also wouldn't say that a car with a color I really like is worth some kind of premium either. For me, originality isn't the important part of the hobby, it's the condition. I'd have absolutely no problem repainting a rare car the color that "I" prefer.

Now at the risk of contradicting myself, value is still tied to the car in another way. If I were to look at 2 identically optioned Chargers for sale, one a color I like, & one I hate, the nasty colored one would have to be priced cheaper in order to interest me. I wouldn't consider telling the seller they had to reduce the price because I didn't like the color, that's just stupid. It's no different than the moron who looked at a standard shift car I was selling once & telling me he needs an automatic & that the price must be reduced to cover the conversion costs.

I locked the car, told him to go look for an automatic & went back into my house.

 Green cars are only worth half the price of ...say "red".    Green only belongs on : Tanks, Jeeps and tractors.

 I've never been a fan of green, but as of right now two of my vehicles are green. My suburban and a 98 Ram 1500 I bought this last year.  

[charger_fan_4ever]

My 70 R/T was originally B5. I would take any color other than b5. I'd rather it been F8.

I'm pretty stuck on Y1. I wonder how that will affect the value once done compared to b5. Motor/trans are gone just a fender tag.

I would think the yellow on it would not devalue it but ?

dont forget there is a thing such as poooooop green also
