Which color goes well with the red interior [Monza]?

Postby GermanMonza » Sun Jun 27, 2021 1:47 pm

Hi folks,

I'm trying to decide on an exterior color. I want to keep the oxblood (red) interior and need something that goes well with it.
What I don't want is grey or black (I have another grey car and had two before).

I love the yellow from the Chevelles, but that might be a little...flamboyant...
I also like the blue Iroc-Zs, that was my dream car as a child, and I think it might actually work well but I'm not really sold on it.

Would love to hear y'alls opinions and maybe some pictures.

Thanks for reading!
Raoul

Though I like the colors you mention, white with red interior.

Silver is the first to come to mind, ( my sister had one ,79 Notch) red, black, maroon, or white are the usual factory combos...with red interiors.

Well I think a nice grey similar to present, would work well, [you are already there right, but you aren't in love with that] White with blacked out bumpers is a nice colour on a Monza, trim in Chrome/polished Aluminum and black with black wheels with trim rings/machined edges, and white letter tires. Or as above but Red on Red, that will be a lot of red. I never took a shine to black Monza's [Oh I feel a flaming coming on!] My first was a grey similar to yours [maybe ~two shades darker(?)] I had two that colour actually (2nd was a SKyhawk) a butternut yellow(ish) and a black one with my present Red one, but always liked a white one in town. I hope that gives you some food for thought. Harry

I'm rather fond of the white car with black bumpers and red interior.

Silver and gray go great with red or maroon interior.

It might be odd, but has anybody ever seen a dark purple with red interior?
