I considered going from Green Frost to Sultana White with a red interior which I like a lot more but I like to keep things fairly original.

I'm partial to the big fin' 61 Comet, mine is a 'junkyard rescue' over ten years in the rescue and I'm already half done. ..


junkyard to yard art to road rat to favorite in FoMoCO single stage white (Corinthian - Wimbledon - Sultana white?) :

White with red would be stunning. Gets my vote if that matters.
