71 Repaint original color or fj6 green go

If you are planning on keeping the car and doing go fast upgrades (motor swap, manual trans, rear gears etc.) then I would paint the car how you want it to be. Go Green is a pretty sharp color! If you don't like the looks of the car no matter what you do to it, you will always dislike the car.

I'm in that boat with my 64 Barracuda, almost to the point where I am shopping it to sell. Just can't get into the dang front clip look.
