Tim, the famous Mopar collector made a replica of the brochure car with all available colors.

Looks like at least one, maybe two stripes are wrong :(
 
Cool project!
The car he started with was so nice he had the striped side "wrapped" in white vinyl and then painted the stripes so he could return the car to original paint.
 
Could you imagine how many fender tags it would need for the paint codes!

I'm thinking it would only need one: Z(as in Zebra)101
The color name is
"Technicolor Yawn" for Plymouth.
IDK what the Dodge name would be.
 
They had that car on trophies from MCACN this year. Wondered what the car was.
 
Thats cool! Couple of thoughts, can he open the door with the zoomies? I assume that they clear? wont that wheel scrub the crap out of the wheel arch?

I can see why he built it, the illustration in the catalogue is just awesome!
 
There was also a 65 Barracuda painted like that.

Pretty sure they didn't worry about a code, but "999" would fit.

Hey, the only door that really matters is the drivers door, and that one does open!!!
