I have no delusions that 2.2Ts are the next 4 cam 356s, but I also want to limit the # of poor decisions I'll make in the future w/this car...

IMO, longhoods will continue to rise in value due to scarcity alone but the degree of rise will be based on several factors including model, condition and "originality." Right now, you have a car that may not be the most desired model, but it is low mileage (which
may indicate good overall condition), numbers matching, and original look (as opposed to "original" which I mean to be untouched and unchanged from factory delivery.) I would say that a change of color will effect the value in that buyers who would pay the higher prices would want the car to be as "original" as possible.
If the car was mine, I would not do a color change. You never know, Sepia may be the next Conda.
