Not mine.

Nice car although the valve covers are the wrong color.

I would go $10k on this one: $1k off for not being a 67-68.

I would say $1000 for being WHITE!  68's are my favorite but I have come to like the 69-70's because I like the corporate Cadillac grilles and front ends in 69-70 anyway, so the exposed headlights don't bother me.

But no on the white/black.  I know you have one, and thankfully there are plenty of options for these years color wise.

"KBB's Ibara says he doesn’t see the tendency toward white changing soon. White communicates timelessness and freshness, which are positive values. If you drive a white car, you’re likely channeling those values, he says."

Psychobabble. About 20 years ago I was invited to participate in a focus group on automotive interior/exterior material/color combinations. It was very interesting experience in which I offered my opinions honestly. The last station in the process showed a bunch of pics of a bunch of diverse people and asked my opinion on what category vehicle and color combination I thought correlated to the person.

So, I was supposed to line up the young oriental with the honda sedan and the old white guy with the cadillac and so forth.

I told the a-- with the clipboard that I was done and wasnt going to participate in such a transparent attempt to identify my biases.

He was like, you wont get paid (for participation). I was like "Let me talk to the boss"

I told the boss that I participated in their little game and they were going to pay me, but I wasn't going to say the guy with the cowboy hat was gonna buy the pickup truck...

I got paid.
