my 73 RSR Look is

[Matt Monson]

My 68 T was originally light ivory with red interior. Some joker changed it to aubergine in an RS look in the 80s. Guy I sold it to took it back since it was a 50k mi car with original interior. Classic look imo.

But metallic green is even more awesome. I’m with the ditch the seats crowd and go green.

I debated that combo for my 74 then found out it's originally an Ice Green Metallic car and have no idea what I'm going to do now.

Don't talk crazy--you've got to go IGM!

Here's the deal: if you're building a hot rod like a wide body longhood, you've already made the decision to market an eye-catching car. To make it a boring color combo is counterintuitive. Go wild.

The seats were 3800, custom built, with HEAT and look fantastic!




Did I overpay?

[littleoldman]

And this was my original Inspiration.

Red seats/black interior

Don't look back. They're gorgeous.

Then stay the course for dog's sake. Value be damned. You have a vision. Fill it. It's your car right now.

I know, I know... I found this heavyweight tartan I think will go great with IGM.

Amazing combo.

[mwrench]

I agree that one of the newly revived cool colors is Olive Green. I've painted a couple of my projects this year with it. I might go with red interior on the Healey.

Ronnie’s fav...^^^

[Matt Monson]

I’ve got one in diapers. I see that color way too often.

[Rawknees'Turbo]

You know wutz weird, Phatt, that while that color does look like what you might see in the vomit produced by someone who had recently eaten a mix of peas and squash, it isn't quite as repulsive as that gold, horse pizz stuff on the trick 914.

Or what MountainMan said!

[mwrench]

Most people really like the color but refer to it as babys**t green.

First thing I thought of as well.

[mwrench]

I bet you also see Bahama Yellow, Viper green, Sepia, Butterscotch, Togo Brown, Signal yellow, Signal Red, orange etc.

The answer is right in front of you:
ICE GREEN METALLIC exterior
RED interior
Don’t be afraid !!

[pkabush]

Whatever color you choose don’t ditch the seats. Those look amazing.
It’s funny how subjective color is. Especially on cars. While it’s not my first choice, I like olive green.
But hey, Bitter Chocolate is one of my favorites behind Leaf Green. Either of which would look killer with a red leather interior
