OK, ladies and gents, here is the deal. I have always wondered how hot the 1969 TA would have been if they offered a Tyrol Blue with WHITE STRIPES color scheme, in addition to the Cameo White with Tyrol Blue stripes scheme. I am redoing my 69 coupe and after a complete disassembly, stripping, priming, blocking, etc, we are almost ready for paint. The body is unreal with no rust (I took pics with the paint stripped since it was so clean) and I am putting it to you this way- how does the 1st Gen Firebird community feel about the reverse color scheme if it could be pulled off tastefully? If one was in the market for a TA tribute car, would the idea of the car in blue with white stripes appeal? This car is a cosmetic clone to begin with. It is not Ram air or even a 400. It is a magnificent clean 69 350 coupe that has been garaged in Texas for all of it;s 96,000 miles, so instead of the expresso brown paint she came with, I am doing the tribute route. I would appreciate opinions from those here. Have you ever wondered or would you ever want to have owned the 69 TA in the reverse color scheme?

I want to drive the car, but I am sure that at some point I will want to sell it, so what do you think about resale? Do you think people would not pay the $ for a car in that un-original color layout?

Thanks, I will check back for your thoughts before I decide!
