CSX3357 is just perfect and the exact look that I'm wanting. If I was to rank my color choices this morning, it would be:

1. Black
2. Red - I think Porsche's Carmine Red has the perfect vintage look to it
3. Dark green, either BRG or Ford's '66 Ivy Green metallic
4. Blue - not sure which shade, but my previous ERA was Guardsman Blue
5. Silver
114. Beige

I agree that 3357 is perfect! I will throw my opinion at your mix regarding green. I would strongly suggest that you go DARK BRG, and not use Ivy Green Metallic. This car looks absolutely killer in dark green, but the metallic changes things a lot and takes away from the period look IMO. My experience with dark BRG is that it often looks nearly black, so you can have your cake and eat it, too. You get choice 1 and 3...sort of. Here's a shot of ERA 488 for further inspiration.

Being 114 is paying a compliment to lovers of beige Cobras. Far too high in your rankings. I'll re-rank it for ya, using your rankings (not mine):

1. Black
2. Red
3. Dark green
4. Blue
5. Silver

NEVER. Beige

While I like 66gtK's beautiful ERA, personally, I'm not a big fan of green cars. If it were me and I was going for an original street 427 look. I'd think White, Black or Silver. While I love blue, for my taste, they're so difficult to get the right shade. Red would be in the running too.
