This definitely serves up some food for thought. I'm doing a restoration on my "74 that's painted Inca. Does this mean I should bring my '74 back to its original Sahara? After seeing this I'm tempted even though I'm changing from US bumpers to stainless from Blunt and a bunch of blingy stuff from IE. I have gotten to like Inca over the past 10 years I've been driving this one. It would be hard to go back to it but in a way I think Sahara might be more trendy then Inca. That color is definitely unloved by most. So was Malaga. I owned one of those and liked it too. I have a receipt for $2000 from 2007 when my car received a "quicky" Inca paint job for it's role in the movie "American Gangster". I guess the director thought it would pop on screen in that color and it was one of the quintessential BMW colors of the 70's. Do you think the person who bought that Sahara car would have paid this much for a non original color? This makes me wonder. I think I might just go back to Sahara if an Inca repaint will torpedo the value of my car. I am doing a complete restoration of this car with pretty much everything done. The car is a rolling shell at the moment ready for the color of my choice. I have a Gobi interior that came with it that I was going to paint black to go with the Inca. That will be one thing I won't have to do. Mechanically it's far from original with a 5 speed instead of an Automatic, rear disc brakes, header, 38/38 and a few other usual tweaks for the period, but it's not original. What to do. I think I'm still going for the Inca. I guess being from the "if it feel's good do it" generation I should just go with what makes me happy. I think the Hack Mechanic said it best when he said something like, "you want a car that when you walk away from it, you can't help but turn around to look at it because it's so cool". That's the way I feel about Inca with those Alpina wheels baby!
