Help Me Decide on Exterior Color - Windward Blue Lemans
I never see any 69 Lemans in Windward Blue and thinking of doing mine in this color. Anyone out there with this color who can post a picture? Mine is originally Verdoro Green with Parchment Interior, white convertible top. Help me decide- below is a pic I found on line of GTO in Windward Blue.

Windward Blue looks great, but I gotta admit that Verdoro Green with parchment interior and white top sounds pretty amazing too.

I love those deep blues that Pontiac had back then. I considered painting my car Aegena, but kept with the Green. Windward looks pretty. It reminds me of Atoll Blue in '70.

It’s a hard decision - not that I’m gonna sell the car but if that day comes will blue be more desirable?

I would say the factory color would be worth the most.

About even i’d guess. Original color is a plus but greens and other earthy colors are definitely liabilities when selling. I’d say the positive effect of a correct blue would roughly offset the negative of a color change from a non popular green.
For what it’s worth I love Verdoro Green but the question was about value not personal taste.

You can't really go wrong with any of those, Voodoo, Aegena, or Windward. All great colors

So I went with Windward Blue - very happy with my choice! It’s waiting on a final polish. Gonna look great with the Parchment interior and white top.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
