There's no way I'd change it. Sounds like a real eye catcher of a color combo....I especially wouldn't change it with the documentation you have with it. You'll regret it if you do change it I think.
Burgandy over Black, while undoubtably sharp, is everywhere. Just like Red with Black interior, Blue with Black interior, etc, etc, etc.... Red interiors are one of my favorites and not often seen...and RARELY with Burgandy. Different is nice....

I painted mine black with a parchment interior. I thought it looked good at first, but I disliked it more and more as time went by. I solved the problem by repainting the body the original color. Dave |

I was looking back through my old HPP magazines and there was a feature of a 69 GTO 'vert, black w/ parchment interior...it did look pretty good.
As for your car, I'd still keep it factory. What have you decided to do?

My 66 project is Burg/Blk since the car is not original I was thinking of changing the color, but it would have to be a 66 color. I'm still on the fence, I haven't decided if I like Burgandy yet. Does anyone have a good picture of Fontaine Blue or Platinum?

66 GTO COLOR COMBO
As Led Zeppelin states 'The song remains the same' and so does the color combo. Thanks members for all of your feedback. Bruce

Your color choice...
Good job, I think you made a wise choice. In the end, it's your car, do what you want - as long as you agree with everybody's opinion here!!!

I would go with the original colors...sounds rare.
Also, If you're going to buy a new inteior....go with Legendary Interiors. I went through 3 PUI piece of Sh^%& interiors thu Y1...and now will do it again with Legendary. 4th time is a charm. |

I don't want to confuse you too much but the burgandy with the parchment interior is striking! It can always be changed back if you decide to sell.
Have a look: http://www.highperformancepontiac.co...gto/index.html

Love the color, it is the same as my first GTO. Not a fan of the 4X4 stance or the cragers. Car looks amazing though.

The fronts are BF Goodrich TA Radials P215 70R 14, the rear are Mickey Thompson Indy Profile G60 15. The wheels are not Cragers, but chrome Wheel Vintiques Rally II. Like the look of the Rally II and wanted to keep a stock look. |

The post is very cool, but I would change the interior to what you like. You are the one who has to look at when you drive it.

I always liked originality, and combos out of the ordinary. All depends on what you like, it's yours, but hope you leave it

Burgundy/red is not common. I would think black or white would be the most popular combos for the interior, and then red. But it matches, all the companies offered combos that way and, while it's your car, I think you would have to be crazy to make it anything other than how it came from the factory . . . even if Parchment looks so nice with Burgundy.
