Not trying to change your mind but 58 is my favorite year and Black w/Silver coves & Red interior is my favorite color combo.

I have been looking a long time, and have seen one black 58 with charcoal int...

Tom, If it was at the Nationals in St. Louis or Waco the same year that one's mine. Black/silver coves with charcoal interior is original for the car. In discussions with Tim Mickey he indicated that black didn't come out until mid to late April for '58s. Mine was built next to the last day of '58 production.

Brandon, I'd go original to the car. Regal is a great color. The ladies always like it.

Since you asked, I think if you know the original color scheme, you should keep it that way.

Brandon, you are only 26. How lucky you are to have such a neat, rare car. But, your question gives the old guys of NCRS heart palpitations which is not good considering the average age of the low membership numbers. We don't need these old guys dying off right in their highest contribution years. The NCRS stands for restoring, preserving etc. the Corvette to assembly-line standards. Painting a car other than the factory color is not a technical issue, but a personal issue. To ask the members to participate in choosing to paint it a color other than original is asking them to sin......
