Don, 

I think gold would be a good choice also, especially with the color of your interior.

Don't forget the fourth, and potentially the best option--GOLD wheels. De 
Tomaso used gold on the factory (red) Gr4 cars and the effect is rather 
striking. Lamborghini used that combination on the Miura and some Countaches 
as well. 

Here's a good photo of Geoff Peters RHD '72 Euro GTS converted to GT5-look 
(parked in the foyer of the Royal Auto Club salon in Pall Mall in London)
