Alright I have a numbers matching 72 340 4-speed Road Runner 1 of 329 which means repaint it the original color right, I mean no brainer.

BUT

It was originally EW1 WHITE with a gold interior and gold stripe (according to the tag but I know it had a full vinyl top on it) I don't doubt it would be a sharp combo when done but I have never really been a fan of white and the interior is going to be black. (Its a mopar its gotta stand out)

So What Color Do I Paint It Really?

I bought FC7 plum crazy for it already but im still not sure.
BTW It cant be EV2 as my Satellite is that color
So far FC7 FJ6 and GY3 jump out at me (I know all 71 colors)

She'll be what I want but I still like hearing others opinions.

I like the white to but i really would like one if i owned it, a gloss black with silver or white highlights. I could go with the black interior but silver or white highlights in it also.. I know, just my thoughts on this particular model. And CHROME bumpers :) What ever color you decide on, if you arent happy, then there's a problem..
 
Ever hear of Barry Whites GTX, he made it from a RR and a Satellite..

Plum Crazy, of course. What other car can pull off such an awesome color? You already bought the paint, drop the hammer and GO CRAZY.
 
looks like it's neck-n-neck between the purple and the white.
 
Please get rid of the full top,they just do not look right on these cars.Mine is FC7 but I wanted a light gun metal or Curious Yella car.
 
Black is always cool. Tor-Red is really cool on a 72. Black interior with the orange inserts looks bada$$. Whatever choice it will be sweet. Gotta love 4 speed cars!
 
color

vote for white the original color.would be easier than a full color change.i would invest the rest in a 72 roadrunner grille,sorry but its whats sets the 72s apart from the 71 rr satellite,first glance and it looks like a 72 satellite,just my 2 cents.plus being 1 of 329 with the 340 4-speed makes it rare,i know its your car but you asked our opinion
 
color

forgot to add a black reflective strobe strip.i added a white to mine just to break up the blue a little.

My son wants to take the Satellite I have and do Purple with a White Halo Top, White stripe and White interior
 
I don't care what color you paint it as long as everybody keeps posting pics of their 71/2 RRs/GTXs/Sats they are my second favorite Mopars right behind the 70 Charger.
