    Saddle and darker Green would work. I think the color of the convert top will tell you the best match of interior color to use. You really cant go too far wrong with the classy white. I have the Burgundy Mist Poly with Pearl White (coupe) and it receives a lot of positive comments with that contrast.

    I hate Resale Red, but there is a reason it is a term. If you want top dollar, do it, then advertise it as a Chevelle.

    Getting a lot of people calling for the Seamist. Wouldn't mind being stuck with the car because I painted it green :) Never have too many Buicks right?

    I like the Seamist as well. The Burgundy is one of my favorite colors on 70-72 A Bodies.

    Larry Gibson own's a 1970 GS 455 Convertible, Seamist Green with white interior, white top with tinted glass.

    Car is an absolute visual knockout, maybe he can be contacted and post some pics of his car?

    I think it's safe to say it's going to a beauty no matter which color it's painted. The dark metallic green with a Saddle top and interior would probably not be a great choice from a selling point of view, but I know I would love that combo.

    I think it would be the dark green and saddle if it was going to be a keeper. Of, course it would end up with a 455 and a 5 speed too!!!!

    Sounds like they are playing the long game, and want it so go unsold and pick it up for a bargain. :D

    That Gulf Stream blue and white is a sweet combo, but so is the diplomat blue and black. Tough choices.
