1971 stage 1 silver fern

In the process of doing a complete restoration on this car .Thinking of going from black interior to pearl white will this hurt the value of the car since it is a very original STAGE 1?Any comments or opinions welcomed.
Thanks to all for your input.

JMHO, if you are keeping the car, do what you like best. If it's going to market, keep it original.

 

For some, yes, it will make a difference.

 

Yes, it will devalue your car.

Keep it original.

If it were paint, I would agree with the rest. Interior isn't cheap to change over, but much easier than paint. I vote Pearl White!

 

Thanks to everybody for the input.The outcome will be a surprise
It will be interesting any more comments welcomed

Keep it original.

 

Do what makes you happy. Stock market is at an all time high. Economy picking up
Car value ( not good) no return on car market. It will be years before it gets good
72 stage 1 $32,000

 

Do not care about the market it is what it is

Change it to pearl white by purchasing new panels, seat covers, etc. and store the original pieces.

 

No salvaging the interior mice

I say make it the way you want it.

I’m glad to see you restoring that car. I followed it on the for sale thread. That will be a truest one of a kind car when you are finished.

 

Your car, your choice.. I think Silverfern with pearl would look GREAT!!!!
