unfortunately hardtops are not worth near the money of a convertible, even Monaco editions.. to change the color completely would, as mentioned above, require pulling the engine, removing all the interior, doors, trim, etc. a good paint job could cost 10k, especially if the painter/body shop has to take all the trim off, the bumpers, moldings, etc. the cheapest way would be to repaint just the outside and the door jambs the same white as original. you will not get your $ out of a $10k paint job. same holds true for the '59 Squarebird with the sunroof. although they didn't make a lot, they don't bring the big bucks, even beautifully restored. I changed my '60 from Wimbledon white to a later Ford red color, but had it completely stripped down, engine out, interior gutted, windows and windshield removed , bumpers off, convertible top frame off, etc. it took me 14 months to do it in my garage. would not want to do that again
