Choosing from the best color chart: http://www.chevelles.com/years/68/68paint.html

1. LeMans Blue
2. Tripoli Turquoise
3. Grotto Blue
4. Grecian Green

I have never in my life seen a 1968 Burnished Brown or Verdoro Green SS Chevelle. Anyone else ever seen one?

I'm still gonna paint mine black, but my heart stopped when I saw a 69 in a four stage candy pearl purple. WOW! If it wasn't gonna cost 2 grand for materials, I may have changed my mind.

I am at the point with one of my '68's where I need to pick a color. The car is nothing special so I am open to anything. It was originally Ash Gold. Is that a desirable color?

What is the best resale color?

Got it, Ryan. I think ash gold is my fav because it is unique now. Most were repainted red or whatever, now making our color unusual. I don't know the number of how many were painted ash gold, but there were a bunch. Now pretty rare. Gotta add that color to the poll, though.

I didn't vote . My color is not on your list. Sequoia Green. The only reason its my favorite is because its the original color of my 68 SS.

i really like the butternut yellow with black lower section and black interior. my '68 came white with black top/ interior (conv) and i chose butternut to go back on. the ash gold is nice too. i kind of like the era correct colors on the car, if not year correct. the candy colors and bright reds, yellows, etc... don't look good on muscle cars IMO. maybe on an all out custom those colors are fine.

Cordovan Maroon in base clear is awesome.
I had my doubts at first, now I am very happy I went with it.

Looks very nice- I'm having trouble deciding between that and Black (with a white interior) on my '68.

I like Ash Gold. I had a '68SS in the early '80's that was originally that color. I put it back Ash Gold because it was unique and original. I like it.
