A guy on hotrod.com just suggested sleeper beige.

BRG has also been suggested.

Yeah, I can see Tom liking the black/black car. It just looks mean. So did you keep your fingers away from him at lunch while he was feeding ? Gotta be safe...

I am glad that your engine came out so well. It was a SICK creation, and the dyno testing must give you that awesome adrenaline buzz. How many pulls did you guys make? Can't wait to see/hear that TT SBC run.

Did you happen to see the dumpy 540 in the corner he is working on? I hope that runs as smoothly as yours did on the dyno. Maybe lucky enough to get it to Drag Week.

Im all about B/B but its sure hard to keep clean. I have a 04 F350 thats black and an 88 Monte SS thats black and its a full time job trying to keep them shiny. My 70 Chevelle was almost Rally Green and was much cooler looking after it was done than what I imagined it would be. Soon as my turbo set up and mini tubbing are done on my 88 SS then I have to decide the same thing as Dave, what color.

[TOM NELSON]

That Is A Very Cool Color.

Rallye Green, and log another vote for the early one piece spoiler

[Bowtiguy]

I agree, green w/ the one piece spoiler. I hate beige on ANY car but that gold they used back in the day on my dads 68 Z28 was cool but not too modified looking.

The car is long gone as he traded it in on his 70 LT1/ZR1 blue/blue vette that I actually came home from the hospital in. I'd include a pic but it has sat in bare glass since 79' after returning from the NCCC convention in Colorado. In the meantime this is the color I was talking about..


BTW Tom, you will have the LT5 by the end of the year to work your magic.

Well, black on black is way overdone and if some little bit of it isn’t perfect it just looks bad, and if it is perfect or even close it doesn’t look anything like a sleeper, and I’ve never been that excited about it.

Red interiors… well, they go in and out of style, and they go in and out fast enough that it seems like when you have a red interior it’s always out, and if it isn’t you can date when it was done by what it looks like.

Out of that list I’d probably go with the Green/black. That combination can be really nice, look great but still doesn’t stick out, it’s still sort of sleeperish.

One that you don’t list that is similar is silver and black. But, if it was anything I’d probably consider tan interior with the green exterior or anything lighter with the silver (I’ll own black stuff with a daily driver, but without AC black gets really ridiculous, really fast), maybe like a darker gray interior, especially if you were willing to go with cloth.

Rally Green is a killer color when done right...Almost a candy ..Go with the Rally Green.
