I agree with blue/ white but I'm partial to B7.
I also agree with Carsten, you lose points for the blue interior.
Resale red is only resale red if its on a car not originally red or a is bright red on a off-red car.
Any exterior with medium to darker looks better with white interior.
Medium exteriors look almost equally good with black but not quite.
Agree on first point, B7 beats B5 which is too light, don’t like B3 at all.
2nd Point is that what he said?
3rd point agreed. Red is good if original color.
And I’m a fan of Red w white interior.
Same exterior color as interior loses points, even B5, IMHO, Especially F8 w green interior. F8 is stunning with white interior and very nice with black interior.
ER6 is a really great color. Lipstick red, really.
Here is my original. 1970, 34k miles, nicely preserved. I am partial to black interiors, which do not yellow.
As another example, here is @Don Stolfi ’s 1969:

No, really. Youve talked about Furys that your dad had but I honestly don't recall EVER seeing photos or hearing of you owning one done car.
I don’t have any C bodies but I’ve owned 2. 67 Sport Fury and 67 300.
I don’t have any done cars. The R/T is a pretty unmolested other than an 80s repaint. It’s shiny and okay at 20 feet. I suspect an 80s seats recover too. Had 82 K on speedo when I go it in late 90s.
I don’t have many pics of it, the above one is from 99 not long after buying.
This one is from about 2012 ish last time I cleaned it up before it going into hibernation again.
Before clean
After clean and wax
My crappy old job got in the way and I’m lazy by nature.
Good news is I’ve gotten re-excited about it and am buying parts to convert to 4 speed, probably stupid I know but will keep everything to return to original if some future owner wants.
Also needs some floor pan work, surprise, that has been a hindrance, wish I knew how to weld!

The color combination is awesome on this Polara. The paint is said to be mostly original with just some touch up areas. The interior is in excellent condition.The dash is like new. There are no cracks or fading.

Why the hell are you not driving this? At least stretch her legs once in a while.
pitting on the stub doesn't seem to jive with the rest of the car but i wouldn't kick it to the curb.
ever heard of masking tape ?
shouldn't the cowl vent be black?

Come on guys..... It's a convertible. Red is right and better with white interior and top!!!!! B5 is nice on cars with hard tops.... Drop tops should be red, like pick up trucks.....
