Bahia Red or Light Ivory?

If you had a choice to buy a Bahia red or a Light ivory '71 coupe, both cars in same pristine condition, which one would you buy?

I'd go for red, but my opinion doesn't mean that you should.

If you want the Look at Me factor go with Red
If you want a cool early classy color- Ivory

Dito.
What are the interior colors of each of these cars?
Thats how I would make my final decision on the overall.
does it blend well?
But if just on exterior I like the Ivory.

Light Ivory belongs on that year car, IMO. The red looks like it belongs on an earlier car to me.
