It depends on what your project objective is - pure restoration or show car?
If restoration, I would say grey, dark mettalic green, silver, black (to bring out the chrome) or maybe red. Possibly with a contrasting roof color (black w/grey or white body or white w/black body). Not sure about the white walls on that vintage though....
If for show, cherry apple red, electric blue and put on some shiney chomies with fatass tires and a set of chromed exhaust tips. A pair of furry dice hanging off the rear vision mirror is mandatory

No crazy ideas but here's a few color choices to start your thinking....note the roof on the first one (not feeling that tho...)...quite like the light metallic blue one.
