1957 Effect of value for color change

[vernz]

I'm looking at a high end restoration of a 57. It is a Continental, not a T-bird, but the opinions offerred here should be applicable. The car I'm looking at had a thorough, high quality, restoration about 24 years ago. At that time the color was changed to a factory correct color, but not the color that this car came from the factory with. The seller is asking top dollar for the car. How bothered should I be about the color change from what the data plate states? Does anyone know if points are deducted for color changes at car shows? From an aesthetic point of view I like the color change but want to decide how it will affect what offer I want to make for the car. Thanks, Vern
