I currently rebuilding My 1978 FORD XC Falcon 500 sedan for the second time and I am planning a colour change, it is currently Snow White, but I am bored of that colour, I would like some opinions on what colour i should respray it
I was thinking of 3 colours, Wild Voilet, Burnt orange or electric blue which are all ford colours of the era.
I have no current pics of my car but this link has pics and info on that model Ford.

I know it's not one of your choices... but I saw a yellow falcon back when I was at college and it didn't look bad. I normally don't like yellow cars.

I had thought about yellow blaze, which is a factory colour but it's very common on that shape ford, mainly the XA and XB models but still very common, I want something factoryish but not common, except monza red cause it doesn't suit the XC only the previous models

I'd like to see that in a deep blue with white pin stripes, a la Dodge viper style.

HMMM a reverse cobra, that would look cool..we have the hardtop version call a XC Cobra, which is white with blue strips starting from the bottom of the front spoiler to end of the rear bumber, they look very cool and are worth heaps, especially the 5.8 4spd versions
