Not what it is now, but what it was, originally.

If you have more than one Charger now, you can add each color. Just wondering what percentage of colors we as a board make-up.  :cheers:

A copper and a bronze so only one vote for two cars here.  :lol:

You have to vote for the ones all at one time, can't go back and edit.

FF1 was the color I think. Not any more.

I voted for the green but it would not let me go back and vote for the orange

Panther Pink sounds cool. Yeah, once you vote, you cannot vote again... But during your initial vote, you can add up to 4 choices

I like that combo.  A '69 combo in those shades is what helped hook me onto Mopars.  A member (Brad) owned it, think he sold it recently.  He was shocked when I seen the avatar of his car & recognized who he was.  His Dad also owned a '70 Hemi 'cuda.  Burnt orange was the closest to red you got in '70.

Right now its in the middle of a rotisserie resto, and we don't have a lot of good before pics. The original owners son dyed the top black when he got the car, but the interior is still green. We will be going back to the green top when the car goes back together...

terrible one

331 "Charger Red," supposedly one of the less seen colors on a '68, as far as I know it became available midway through the model year?

unlike my daughter's hair color, the charger has remained steadfast in its original color since i got it.  (with original paint) Y3 cream, which is not top banana yellow, and is close to, but not y2 either.  
69 RT/SE Y3 cream yellow w/tan vinyl top and black r/t stripe. non matching 440/375, 3:23, Column shift auto w/buddy seat, tan interior, am/fm w/fr to back fade, Now wears 17" magnum 500 rims and Nitto tires. Fresh repaint, new interior, new wheels and tires.

I voted green & purple. I can't vote twice, so +1 yet another vote for green as well.

There's one example of the wrong colour on here shown, any one found the wrong colour under the one to fender tag,
Almost like it was a production line mistake, proper colour applied with all trim and such on car and just masked off and fixed at the dealers because customer refused it ?

F8 green in and out with a white top.  Still green on the inside, unfortunately.   :eek2:
