Which Blue???

[Roadhog51]

I saw this at a local show, a recent restoration. I didn't look at the FT but I believe it is B7? He said the stripe was a light blue but he replaced it with white.

Appears to be, looks exactly like one I had 50 somewhat years ago. Good thing is, no matter which shade you pick... you're right ! They're ALL look great !

seeing all these cars really makes me miss my e-bodies, 74 Challenger and 73 Cuda'

always thought the black was typically called Matte Black, and yes, gloss is wrong

My understanding is that the original Mopar OE stripes had a slight sheen to it, matte black is actually flatter than satin black.
Satin black has more white mixed in that gives it a slight sheen/gloss, but besides the color originally the stripes also had a texture finish..

Just my $0.02...

My black was done in gloss because I wanted that way.
I had the choice of matte but if you get wax on the matte finish it’s not so pretty anymore. Just my opinion.

Good point!!
Really depends upon the opinion of the car owner, thats the main thing that matters.....

Just my $0.02..

Additional free opinions:
No vinyl top.
No trunk decklid spoiler/wing thing.
