Color change on muscle car

[Formula455SD]

Around 2011 I bought a '69 Chevelle SS396 300 Deluxe sport coupe. It was 396/325 automatic on the column.. nothing special. Car was clean and had all of its original drivetrain and was a great driver. Car was originally burnished brown with a champagne painted roof and black interior. About 10 years prior car was repainted red including the roof. They did leave the top moldings in place. It kinda looked like crap so I added a black vinyl top. I sold the car about 3-4 years ago. Though I am not a fan of color changes. I feel in this case it was beneficial when it came time to sell it.

My '67 Elcamino was originally red. Previous owner repainted it black. I like black.... but they should have left it red as red is a good color and original to the car. The Elcamino is a prime example of why I hate color changes. There are spots in the jambs where the black has flaked off and you can see the red. I'll eventually get around to respraying the jambs one of these days.
