How many 69 383 bcudas
Jim,
Not to hijack the OP's thread, but a color change on a fairly rare numbers matching car is not worth it IMHO. I guess that being said, if you plan on keeping the car forever, who cares. If you plan on selling at some point, I think an "as delivered" car will likely fetch more than a car that used to be its original color. I would also change my tune if there was no build sheet, fender tag, or the numbers did not match.
I agree with BB Dave's opinion on stripes. It will break up that paint very well.
