Do Mopars with High Impact colors bring more money?

Backin the 80's, 90's so many 68-9 RoadRunners came F8 dark green poly. But when they are 20-30 year old fabbed paint, they don't look so shiny and cool, maybe ugly is the word?. Back then I had a bud that did the body/paint on most of the cars I drug home. One day he told me he found a 69 Coronet Rt up in Ne. and wanted us to go look. He bought it and did the paint back original, yep.. F8. Back then NO ONE painted them back F8! But it looked super and he sold it for good $.

I find that F8 is a pleasing color nowadays, maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe not. But, I have always hated lime green and plum crazy, and now that everybody has to paint their cars in either of those colors, I like them even less. However, that being said, some cars look good in those colors, a 70 Roadrunner in plum crazy with a white interior and rallyes looks great, same for a 70/71 Challenger in lime green with a rump stripe and white interior. But on a 73 beak nose Dart, they look horrible.

And, I love that Green Go Demon in the post above, so I’m not completely biased.
