Are you going to do the painting yourself? The professionally painted ones currently seem to go for a premium price. A local car paint shop might be willing to tackle the project if you bring the body over after removing all the working parts yourself. I think you'd be safe painting exactly any color that pleases you. How about a 1960's flower child design? If I found one for dirt cheap I'd definitely consider that! Since I'm never going to sell mine, I could decoupage my grandson's picture on it, and nobody in the family would dare say I shouldn't.
