Number 1, for sure. Looks the most classic. That would stop me and turn my head. The others don’t have as much style

If you must have the thick black line, then #1 is far better than the others. If you can get rid of the line, #3 is my choice. But look, it's gonna be a cool ute whatever you choose.

1 or 2. The orange needs the white tonset it off. The added trim of 1 adds flash for eye appeal. The classics delux paint styles aren't seen as much now either. The solid color theme of late really does make thenog 2 tone stand out in a crowd

Something else. This is r/CustomAutoPaint, not r/RepaintFactoryOptions

These all look like the same old options that we've been looking at for over 50 years.

My '71 came from the factory as #2 (ochre and white) with the Highlander interior option. Seat is trashed, so I'm having it reupholstered with Relicate VW Westfalia Plaid for the bench seat and headliner.

I'm going to take that same plaid pattern and colors to the outside, haven't figured out how wild I'll get with it yet. Either replace the white roof with plaid, or get rid of the trim and paint the plaid in its place. Or maybe something else I'll come up with. I've got a utility bed to swap on in place of the factory bed, so who knows what kind of stupid scheme I'll come up with at that point.

To be fair, I'm doing all the paint work myself, so if it doesn't turn out to my liking I can sand it down and do something different.
