I have A Y2 69 Charger 500 that will soon be B5 blue,  That being said I like the Q5.  I had a QQ1 68.  The bottom line is paint it what you want unless your just flipping.

Looks like a great start!

As for value... it's a 383 2V auto - probably one of the most produced drive train combinations - which puts it on the "less desirable" end of the spectrum (if there is one for 69 Chargers!). The color code is what pushes it to the rare side. I agree that not everyone likes turquoise but many of those who don't also wouldn't prefer blue either. There are some other variables like whether it's numbers matching or not that could sway me (an all original, number matching car should stay the same as the tag if you ask me but if there's nothing original left on a high production car I don't care). I think that, done correctly, it won't have a major impact on value. If it's not numbers matching, changing it to a 440 4-speed would likely increase the value above what any color change would drag it down.

hello & welcome

THe engine and tranny are both numbers matching and I even have all the otriginal dealership paperwork and warranty paperwork as well. So with that in mind Im thinking it would be better to stick with the OG Q5 paint code then,

[1974dodgecharger]

if you plan to build it, sell it, then the way to do it is go back to original as much as possible....don't go custom then it wont sell as fast as all or near original as possible.

Q5 all the way....



Or sell it to me.

Nice ride and welcome to the forum!

Good call. It really is a sharp color and of the pics posted with white top and black, I like the black one better. Out of curiosity, if you were to change the color, what would it be?

My car is very far from original but I would still prefer it if it were the original A4 silver. Still, if/when I repaint it, I may consider other colors....?

Keep us posted on the progress.

RARE COLOR COMBO TODAY!! Looks awesome! Paint it like it was back then and you have a HIGH $$$ CHARGER

[socalcharger]

Im probably gonna stick with the Q5 color and thinking wheel options of doing the stock rims painted Q5 with the dog dish cap look? Black vinyl top and black trunk stripe?

[socalcharger]

So what would you guys say the car is worth in the shape its in? And after interior is redone and car is repainted new chrome etc and make it a super clean driver?

[Charger_Fan]

Hey, at least it wasn't "parts car green" originally. Hehe
Gotta run now, before all the green car guys catch me...>>

you didn't say if it ran, and if everything is in working order. or condition of insides
there was a car close to me that was a 68, matching numbers 383 2v (?), it had little rust in lower rear quarters, it ran and drove, was green, a/c. it sold for 10k

Totally agree. It's not a common color and under appreciated.

[1969 R/T SE]

Just wondering, does anyone have some new or really nice 1969 wood grain pieces for the dash and a wood grain steering wheel that is not cracked all to hell that they would be willing to sell? for a lower price, I'm looking for below 2000$
