Hey...

So my mom finally gave me the keys to the 68' stang coupe.
1 problem though....she needs some paint. Right now it is a dark blue color with the white "c" stripe down the body. What i need help on is..
Should i leave the "c" stripe and just paint the car??
Should i paint the car just one solid color {as in no stripe}???
Or should i paint the car, leave the "c" and put racing stripes on it???

I cant decide!!! What do you guys think??
The colors i had in my head are....

Black with gold stripes of some kind or white?
high gloss blue color with white stripes?
Brown?
stone green with black racing stripes??

Idk i cant decide. let me know what you guys think. im open to suggestions.

By the way im a newbie here.

I've always been particularly partial to the blue w/ white stripes. I'd stick with what you have, especially if it's original. But that's just me.

I agree with chainsaw about the blue w/stripes. You, however will be driving the car.

If it has the C-Stripe, it may have a "Sprint" package that was available to the 67 and 68's. I would leave the C-stripe if it were me. I have a 68 Sprint and I left my C-stripe for the originality of it. But like the others said, ultimately you have to drive it! Good luck

how do i know if it is a sprint package or not?

A Marti report would be your best bet. It will tell you exactly the way the car came from the factory.

The C stripe could have been added by the dealer or earlier in the car's life.

I have a list somewhere of what the Spint packages added to the car, there was two different packages, Sprint A and B. Essentially I can tell you they were cosmetic only and gave the car the look of a GT without the performance upgrades.

I say leave the c-stripes, but mine is blue w/ white racing stripes (sort of, hood needs to be painted) and it looks pretty cool, check my pics if u want

I would say blue with the C stripe as well. It will look nice, and stay original.
