Hi. It looks like you are really doing a thorough job. Personally, I would stick with the original color, but this is really a matter of opinion. I mean, some people might say that some colors are less attractive than others and, even if original, are harder to sell (meaning their market value could be lower). In other words, if the car is done as you are doing it but in a more popular color, you might eventually even be able to sell it at a higher price than if it has its original, but unpopular color. Again, I would go with the original myself.

I am wondering about the age of your car. It has the side impact beam in the doors. Was this not first offered in 1973 models as a result of DOT regulations? Maybe it was 1972... I don't remember...
