I have not seen this topic discussed, but I am curious about how the cars color affects it resale value. In other words, how much more is a GoMango Challenger R/T worth as opposed to the same car in the same condition that is White or Dark Green. I would think the GoMango car would be worth a good bit more than a Dark Green one. There was a barn find 70 Challenger R/T 440 6pk-4sp car in the latest "Muscle Car Review" magazine. It need a complete restoration, as it has been sitting since 1980. Supposedly it was the last Challenger R/T built in 1970, but it is White with a Green vinyl interior. They are debating whether the car is worth restoring being that it needs so much, but because it is the last 1970 R/T built it may be worth the effort.

The cars color can definately add to the value of the car. Also the exterior/interior color combo can effect the value of the car. A purple/white combo to some people[including me] is more desirable than a purple/black combo. Some do not like the white because of the cleaning factor, some do not like the black because of the heat retention factor. The most valuable color in my opinion for the Challenger is FM3 Panther Pink. Any of the High Impact colors seem to be more desirable. I personally love B5 blue and will buy a 2009 Challenger in that color.

Did anyone see the article regarding the "last" 70 Challenger R/T? Very interesting, I hope someone does the car justice, I know white with green is not the best combo, but it is a real E87-D21 car with power windows. If it was Hemi Orange with Black, they would be all over this car.

Though it all comes down to buyer preference a High Impact color can add a small amount to the value of a car. The exception is FM3 which many people want so those cars tend to be much more expensive.

On Hemi cars Black and Red also add a good deal of value to the car.

Im turning my 70 into a Vanishing point replica, and therefore painting it white, and luckily it was originally white! Surely this adds small value?

Since it was originally white, try to get close to the original color (which was really ivory-colored, not quite white). A good painter should be able to get the proper formulation from the original paint code.
