Burgundy works well too.

I’d like to put in a word for blue and silver.

Blue is good. Silver. . . . I’ll take blue.

This is a car that looks good in almost any color. Not that many cars can say that.

That looks like the OEM blue to me. That color with the white interior is just amazing. The blue/white combo is just as rare as the white/blue combo that I have . I’m not a huge fan of silver/grey as it is so common these days.

I prioritized Oppo cars.

Its true. I’ll never forget the 240's at the Carlyle I mport Nationals a few years ago. By far the prettiest cars of the whole show and they really stood out to me. Just a beautiful little car with proportions that don't photograph well (for me) but which look exactly right in person.

Know someone with one in a metallic forest green. Looks amazing.

It is, I looked for a picture of the factory blue because it’s just so cool and rare. That it happened to contain a silver one as well just worked out. I like them in silver because one of the first Z’s that hooked me was a highly prepared silver one that lived a block away and loomed large in the local autocross scene when I was a teenager.

I don’t think I knew that yours has a blue interior, that’s amazing! Mine was white/black, normal.

 This 

Black & White don’t look too bad either...

I... I did not need to know there was a 280Z racecar transformer and now I’ve found there’s a Group 5 Lancia Stratos transformer... this is a rabbit hole.

It’s very good.

I thought about the brown too, but after looking at some pics I decided that was more about nostalgia and less about a color that actually looks good on it.

Yeah, I did a post on Wheeljack’s twin Exhaust back in July. The original Diaclone toys that the ‘Formers are taken from were rather faithful given their size.

So perfect! Like they used the blue paint color on the inside, love it.
