Aside from the browns and golds, I'm a fan of the oddball or rarer colors, too, such as the lime greens, gulf and other light blues, and, of course, aubergine.
Great stories, guys. From my own experience, in 1982 I was just out of college and had joined PCA after my dad and I had slowly worked my garage-sale '63 356 T-6 coupe back to decent driver status.
I was one of the few in our local group that still had a bathtub. Most everyone else had moved on to 911s and the SCs were the top of the line. It took me many years to catch up and get my own SC.
