This is not my car, I took the picture at a show about two weeks ago. It is an original GY8 car. My 1972 Charger Rallye is also GY8. I do not see many around.

Butterscotch also rocks.

Here are a black and GB5 Blue '71 GTX taken at the Lead East show in Sept. 2009. The blue one belongs to my brother, which has been in the family since purchased new by my other brother. My GTX is nearly a twin and should be ready in a few weeks.

having trouble postin pics. Sublime was my choice!! it really sets off the black accents

How about black on black on black?

How about black on black on black?

very cool

Hey Droptop! Love the B-on-B! Awesome job! Was looking at the same thing for my 74. Maybe have the stripes done in a gun-metal gray, or flat black for that barely-there look. then black steelies with chrome nuts, or just dog dishes. Less is more!

I don't really have a lot of 71-72 B-body pic's but I hope this will help.

Sundance, I love the "Plymouth" decal, but was that an option anywhere?

How about black on black on black?

I am going to do black, with the black interior i have. I have brand new black carpet, and wanna do some newer style black buckets. it already has a new black headliner installed, and a recovered rear seat too. I also have the front spoilers and some new hood pins that just came in from dales cuda shop!
It does have a hole in the hood due to the hi rise intake and carb, so i have a single street style scoop with the red butterflies. gonna keep the hood a satin black, and kinda go with a flat black/gloss block theme. And i have a brand new set of 18" torque thurst style boss wheels. should look cool!
ill post pics next week when its back from paint!

I don't think it was but it sure does look good,check out some more pic's of it.

How 'bout 2003 Dodge Ram Timberline Green?

all mopars look amazing in white!yeah its not one of the crazy colors but something about a white car just stands out

Here's some cool 72's for ya

Sundance, I love the "Plymouth" decal, but was that an option anywhere? No, it wasn't. Back in the 70's, we started putting the decal on the rear qtrs, afer seeing Petty's car with it.

car came back from paint. it is a daily driver, and i dont a show car right now so i took it to maaco. looks ok. a lot better than it did, but i wish i had some body work done....a lot of little flaws i didnt even realize were there. BUT, i cant wait to be back on the road and drive it again. I'm sure I'll get some decent bodywork done in the future, but I cant stand seeing all these cars on the road and not having one, plus college tuition comes first. Ill post some more pictures later, but heres one from the paint shop...

Maaco uses quality paint products and most of the time, they shoot a very good to excellent coat of paint. Unfortunately, they do not do a great prep job before painting. You do get what you pay for. IMO black is the absolute worst color to paint a car that isn't laser straight because it shows even minor flaws. I have had a couple great experiences with Maaco painted cars, but the cars were prepped and ready for paint before they left for the Maaco shop. I currently have a 72 Sat getting prepped for paint, and Maaco is high on my list of possible painters for this car. I think a great looking paint job is 90% or more due to meticulous body preparation before the paint. Enjoy what you've got, knowing it looks better than it did, and better than a lot of whatever else is out there.

Here is where I'm at with my almost 2-year project.

Now all you need is a flat black strobe stripe. Your car looks great!
