I tend to agree..I own 2 red GTOs but w/ Black Interior (and yes Resale Red does help sell car I'm sure but not for an interior, when ext. is already red)..It would have been a mean looking car if ext was black with that red interior, IMHO

Never questioned the resale power of the red exterior OR the red interior. But together on a late 60s muscle car just doesn't look right IMO. Same color interiors I've always equated to late 50s/early 60s cars. That's just my warped perspective, tho. I'm judging strictly stand alone asthetics... I realize there are a LOT of red w/black interior cars, but I think that combo in general looks better (hence, probably, the reason there are more of them)

lethal-428-lemans First props on such a sweet engine car combo. A buddy of mine has a '64 428 lemans... one of the quickest cars I've every ridden in.

BBC car shows I was referring to is generally the coverage of new cars... Top Gear and Fifth Gear (I definitely like Top Gear the best). There's another series run a few years ago that traced the histories of various makes (Ferrari, Jaguar, etc) that was really good, too. The topics are not always better than the US show, but it seems the execution of the shows is always more interesting and entertaining. I think the US shows tend to 'dumb down' a lot for public consumption
