Especially with an outline of a couple purple Chevy Bow Ties (I know you'll love that... ...) Embroidered on some white leather seats, with white interior accented in light grey. It may be kind of a pain to keep it clean; but, since you're selling it straight after completion.....

I was heading down a similar path with the Firebird for a while and still think that what I have in my mind, while I probably don't do a real good job of explaining it, would look really good. For me, in the end, I just finally couldn't resist the Corvette Millenium yellow with black stripes and interior.

Anyway, which ever way you go, I'm a pretty big fan of the purple you're considering.

That being said, I'm not going to be the buyer and of course there's a reason we call it "Resale Red"....

Dutch, that's exactly the direction the car was going when it was going to be Jackies new toy, and powered by a big killer Ford!!!! However, her brother found her dream car for her now, so I'm just going to go chebbie in a chebbie and pedal it.... The way it is now, the interior is grey cloth....and in quite good condition with a bit of shampooing and I'm just too cheap to tie a bunch of money up on upholstery for something I'm going to sell..... A big engine and stuff like that will usually bring a good return on investment....but the average buyer has no idea just how expensive quality upholstery work is and never wants to pay the extra $$$$$$ just cuz the car has it......
