Favorite Mopar Color from the late 60's/Early 70's

[68 Sport Satellite]

I gotta go with F3 Frost Green for obvious reasons.

Who's the gal next to your car Fabman? Would have liked to have met her when we came over to see that car!

Yup, certain colors do look better on certain cars due to the overall body shape and the longitudinal lines that run the length of the car and create shadows.

On my '68 Plymouth Sport Satellite I love the '71 B5 blue with black hood stripes.
On a '65 Coronet 330 post-car with hood scoop I love Silver.
A '69 GTX with black hood stripes and black rocker accent looks great in F3 Green like Fabman's shown above.
On a '68-'70 Charger I love Copper with white top and white tail stripe.
Love the yellow with black tail stripe on Dennis H's '69 Coronet R/T.
If it's well done, a white B-body with white steelies and chrome caps looks killer.
Most all of the colors look pretty darn good on all of them though, but the ones above stick out in my mind.

I agree it depends on the car, orange is my favorite on the b bodies but I like the sublime on the E bodies.

You are our new friend. Our 1971 Challenger is Sublime, I know it's a 1970 color but we liked it better than Sassy Grass. Our 1971 Charger is Hemi Orange.

Never was a big fan of FM3 but like all the others including Sassy Grass....had a 71 Cuda in that with the bill board.

I live in kind of a snooty neighborhood, I am a total Redneck though. My cars raise eyebrows. Most of them are loud and bright colors. Daughter's Xterra is yellow, Challenger Sublme, Charger Orange. The loudest vehicle is the 1972 Ford F100 4x4, It's 390 4bbl, duals sound like a NASCAR car. It truly has the V8 motorboat blub blub sound. That one is white but a patina hard earned finish. My sons white Ram truck lifted 4x4 is loud too.

My son has two projects in the garage.

My Cuda is FM3. Gotta be different

 

[SteveSS]

Maybe this is common knowledge but back when these cars were new we called plum crazy, Statutory Grape.

 

[tallhair]

I always thought FM3 looks great

I prefer the understated tones. Cream "y3" is my favorite. I have two real vitamin-C cars that are of course painted the original color. My problem is everyone paints there clones these high impact colors. Mine look fake even though there not. I would kill a street walker for a 71 Bahama yellow, black billboard Cuda though.

Depends on the car.

I think the B-bodies look great in Hemi Orange, Turquoise or Plum Crazy, but an A-body looks good in more subdued colors like white and beige. E-bodies pretty much have to be either black or Sublime Green.

If Baddass is the operative word, then @ the end of the day...."Paint it Black You Devil" No compromises Been straightening & refinishing 45 years and current. Always come back to black. Mopar green nauseates me.

it was a hard choice between Ev2 and
Fc7 but I like Fc7 better. The ev2 is a bit dull to me needs a little more LOOK AT ME

GG1 racing green is $$$

 

[TetanusShot]

Most of my vehicles are iron oxide red with transparent lower quarters...

 

[Banzaiii67]

KK-1.. but i'm biased

 

[Budnicks]

LL1 Surf Turquoise Metallic like the Missing Link
but I'm partial too, silver as said before was another favorite

 

[BarrsRestoration]

I remember a color called Fisher Body Rust being an idea that was rejected. Wouldn't that have been great???

They later changed the name to Hugger Orange. It wasn't long before some rednecks painted a Charger that color and it became even more popular.

B5 Blue is my 1st choice with Silver, and Alpine White rounding out the choices

Which playmate is the prettiest at Heff's mansion? That would be easier to pick! Depends on car-year-int-top-stripes. Some look better with white int,some black. Some look better with the vinyl top some without. My all time favorite combo is burgundy with white top,interior,and striping in 68. Since its not on the list....i dunno?
