Nice car, Joe! I almost bought a yellow SS like yours only with a black top. I drove it and wanted it real bad, but the ammeter (aftermarket) smoked when I went to shut it off after the test drive. Somehow shorted out because it wouldn't turn off. Had to let the clutch out and kill it. Man I wanted that car, and since I wasn't a mechanic (yet) I didn't know how easy a fix that would've been. But less than a month later, catty-corner to the lot where the SS had been, was my Z. And the rest is history

It seems like not that long ago I saw a 69 Z on eBay that was Daytona yellow with a white vinyl top and white stripes, with a white interior. Not my cup of tea, but I am sure it would stand out, as being different color combo than most.

So it sounds like some of you are saying yes, for a rare color combo (not just exterior color) that you are willing to pay more. Would 5% above average be correct?

Neat combo.. and I'm sure I haven't seen one that combination.. especially with the white roof (and black stripes)..  don't the stripe color and roof color generally match??

According to everything I've read here, Daytona yellow always had black stripes no matter what the top color was...Joe

Gary, didn't mean to sound as if I don't like orange/orange, I do.  It does stand out among others where you would normally see black interior.
