No offence to those that like it, but am genuinely curious what you guys see in it since gag colors like that (including the various flesh and fecal tones) are always described as worthy of more coin (plus doing a little , naturally).
I think the color is unusual and cool for a '72. But any color would probably be cool for a '72. I would rather have silver more than anything. And browns? I was never a fan of browns, but they are 'vintage' and unusual. My old boss loved his browns - and painted everything from his 912 to his VW bus brown. Is the '72 green worth more? Probably. Because it's a '72 and both the car and color are unusual. But give me silver over anything all day any day.
