    A 50 plus year old auto is going to be tired, like me. How much does a repaint and color change along with a reupholster and color change affect the value of a Ferrari? I know there is a premium for originality. Redos?

    I think it is all relative to how many millions it is worth. In that case, I would stay with 100% orginality,
    and with a top notch expert.

    In the hundreds of thou. (or lower) , I think you can do pretty much what you want.

    Regards,

    I’m not an expert but I think if the “new” colors were offered by the factory when the car was built the change shouldn’t affect value too much.

    IMHO , Unless a rare example with a value of over 1 MIO, A colour paintjob will not hurt the value as long as it is done well ( expect only perfection now ) and using period colours of the model. As for the interiors, ( well these do get a worst battering than the exterior because they are more difficult to maintain than just washing a car) I think a colour change could effect the value here. But, having said all this, if in the end the car will result in a spectacular example, I should think that desirability will win over anything else.
