I reference the PPG color chart, 33-1 for Corporate Red. I also checked Express paint and they call the 33-1 Corporate Red.

Awesome, and now I have to correct myself…..mid June is the right date. Express paint makes the 68 Dodge colors in a spray can, and guess I’ll order both Reds and do a spray out. Learned a lot from this thread…..funny how certain factory’s only had certain colors? Thank you to all for their...

Thank you……now I am very confused……. That looks like what I have. The PPG color chart for 1968 is DARK……that car is not dark. I have seen a 68 in PP1 red at Carlisle (only real 68 Bee there (2022 and 2023)……and he swears it is PP1 red and it’s dark (very beautiful car)!! Dark like the color...

I’m not nuts, right? There is a big difference between the PP1 red and the other Reds……the PP1 is a dark red(almost maroon)…..I can’t tell the difference between the charger / bright or Corporate red….those all are much lighter that the PP1 red. That’s what I have……a light bright red.

Very odd, right? I was in the Military too long…..I believe what I see, as opposed to what they tell me I see. Ugh!!

S o these cars were the knee jerk reaction from Dodge, to counter the Road Runner. Only 7000 give or take were made due to the late introduction. So July was late?

……..so the Corporate Red was released by then?

Roger, that’s why I am going by the colors that were hidden from the sun and the elements. In all the window channels it is a bright (light) red, way lighter than the PP1 Red, which is a much darker red than what I see…..

So my car, from my research, and help from the Super Bee Registry, was built in early July…..VIN WM218A319705. SO #A8W277552……which doesn’t add up in that paint didn’t become available til late that year. It is such a contrast from the PP1 red. I have replaced every common rust filled part...

A lot of great info there sir!! I will reply on this one later tonight!! Awesome and thanks!!

“A” code in the VIN……..Lynch Road

Lynch Road

The broadcast sheet I found (under the springs of the back seat) was for a 68 Road Runner….ugh!!!

The picture doesn’t do it justice (and the lighting in my garage) doesn’t really show how much lighter it is. Trust me…..wayyy lighter than the PP1 Red.
