Damn that's a good looking Charger!


And that's quite the pet beside it... is that your guard dog?  :icon_smile_big:  :scratchchin:

I thought it was his hood ornament like the Mack truck bull dog  :2thumbs:

Welcome to the site
Love the colour
That is the colour I painted my first Charger I ever fixed up and every one since that I have painted

WoW BDF, I thought F8 was Coolio, but F6 is SUPERCOOL!!! :drool5:

You've got me thinking now of a slight dyslexic moment when ordering my F8 and getting F6... :smilielol:

All my cars are GREEN, just not inside...lol... :coolgleamA:

I like Sassy, just not on pre 70 cars.

I am new to the site but not mopars or Chargers. My uncle had a '68 Hemi Charger. Don't know color code, no one cared back then. It was reddish-orange with white top/ interior. My best friend's brother way back then also bought a '69 and when my father came home one day & asked what kind of car he should get I yelled " Charger! A green one!"
Green has always been my favorite color...much to my continued delight he came home with this one a few days later.
My 1st car was a '69 Charger 500. I will ask about it at Aero place later. Then a white '66 Coronet with 440/auto whose combo now resides in my '63 Willys 4x4 wagon which is 'resting' now but put on quite a slippery/billowy 4 wheel smoke show.which is a topic for another thread. Have owned a M-37 & M-43.
I LIKE DODGE!
Thanks for the nice comments fellas!

That is a beauty 500Jon!
I didn't see it when I last looked at this. The weather is foul here and phone service is marginal now so it takes a LONG time for things to load.
I am going to have to be patient or be double posting because they do not show up right away.
Still dialing it in.

Beautiful '69! I'm guilty of liking green as well. My '68 was born black with a green top and interior and I'm restoring it that way!

Sweet! It appears to me that green car owners tend to show their cars ass first.
Maybe a poll topic.

For any of these cars to have survived for almost 50-years now is something of a minor miracle. Green, black, blue or other, the fact that they still roll down our roads is a testament to somebody's care and hard work along the way.  Ugly cars don't last anywhere near that long, certainly not in any numbers. These 2nd generation cars are as much art as they are wheels and that art has a lot to do with why many of them are still with us.

How many people are restoring a 1969 Toyota Corona? A Fiat Strada? A Ford Maverick...? :lol:

What is ugly to some may not be to others...  I helped on the restoration of this beast





Oh.. and no Green hate here, this was my car prior to the resto, just wanted to do something different.  :yesnod:

My car left the factory F6 green with a white top (white hat special). hindsight, I wish that I went back to original color after restoration. Your charger looks awesome!!! :2thumbs:

True....but it is a 500.....and most on here would swap body organs for one...but......I would like it more just about any other colour. But hey colour is a very personal thing and lots will probably not like my Charger colour choice....which is fine. Obviously if a had a 500 it would be being restored by the numbers...green or not. I find them far more desirable than even a wing car.....well out of my budget though.

Attempting quote 1st time.
I bought my C500 from my Dad's cousin. It was 440/727 red with black bench interior & column shift.
I paid $750 in 1977 & sold back to father about 1981. It went thru one of our "100 year floods" in Napa and he sold to collector in Cloverdale/Ukiah?
I think I'll be sick, then sad for a bit now...
Still have the green one though. Now I feel better.

Welcome BDF.  Sharp looking car you have there! I've always liked that green, and the white top really sets it off.  :thumbs:

And thanks to 500JON for posting up that Charger 500. That car, color, and white stripe is a nice combo. Wish it were mine! :yesnod:

The F6 is very nice.
Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

WoW Mike, you sure like GREEN!!! :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol: Cucumber and Gherkin come to mind :shruggy:

The REAR-VIEW of a C500 is clean and uncluttered and particularly nice in GREEN!
The rear-view of a Daytona (in green) is somewhat overstated, maybe its the HUGE white STRIPE!!! :scratchchin:
Me I woodda gone BLACK, with DOG DISHES!

Whereas the Charger 500 (in red) sitting next to her is quietly contemplating a 'missed win' at the 69 Dega race? :nana:
