Charles, that debate rages on and on. I've made my choice to change it to a "model and year correct but not original" color because I intend to keep and enjoy the car, and it has been beat to death about "hurt value" to be frank. To some, a unpopular original color hurts resale over a popular color (I believe there are a lot more Orbit Orange Judges than were ever built by the factory) and there's people who have done very well with a color change and even an incorrect motor. It's all relative and one thing I've been painfully reminded of (quite literally I might add!) is that you can't take it with you.
Thanks on the heath front; I'm doing the best that I can with chronic kidney disease and some other issues down that-a-way...
