It depends on the reason you are building this car. If you do not think you will be selling the car in the near future then the resale value is not that important so go with the green if thats what you like. If, on the other hand, resale value is important to you then you might think about picking a color that has a broader appeal to the people that might be looking to purchase.

Just my two cents.

To me, resale value, and overall crowd / fan desiability are one and the same. If you don't mind being the guy with the "nice car, to bad it's that color" Car, then go for it.

I plan to keep the car for a long time but agreee that resale value and the number of turned heads are similar.

well I am back to where I started..

what color would you paint it? with or without stripes? and what body mods would you do?
I had a dark green interior but i guess that can be changed.
I am just trying to stimulate some ideas

Silver w/no stripes. But then that is for my idea. Could always try photoshop on a pic to see what appeals to you.

Mist green is a killer color.. I might paint my 'Stang that color..

Maybe with some smoked silver stripes...

I think it would look cool, you wouldn't see too many others painted the same color. I tend to go against the grain though. I could see where it might hurt resell if that ever comes up down the road.

Default Just my opinion

When it comes down to colors, i look at it this way , if i have a car that is a numbers matching car, and it is going back together that way , hands down it goes back to the original color.( for ex. a SS or a Boss ) Once modifications have been done to the car i think the color thing is wiped off the board and then it comes to personal prefrence . With that said, personally i really like black and med to dark blues. If you want to resell the car red is always a sure bet. As of late, some greens have really grown on me, for example House of Kolors Lime time green!! Lime time green with Black stripes with a set of 17's on the front side and 18's on the rear (Budnicks or Billet Spec.) and you will have a real head turner!!

I drove a brand new Mist Green 69 El Camino SS off the showroom floor. Loved that color.

If you're going to go green, make sure you spend alot of time getting the right mix. It's a tough color to pull off imo.
