Green car haters

Here's one you may enjoy. It's a 69 Charger in its original F5 paint. Here's a picture the day I dropped it off at my detailer's place.



$150 later, this is what it looked like. The old enamels can really be woken up.

If it  is orig paint , they were enamel , the GM's were laquer .

you are correct. I didn't think before I typed!

Haha...nope! I hope to have it running by the weekend. It had been off the road for about 7 years

My first car in 1979 was 69 Charger. I towed it home, put a new timing chain in it, and drove the wheels off it. Thanks goodness it was a $150 green car. If it were any other color I could not have afforded it. Green can be good

Looks like cars with damaged front ends is "your thing".

Ive parted out 46 SRT8's and fixed/drove 6 wrecked SRT8's over the past 5 years...so yeah! The B5 Super Bee is my next car to part out....what a shame too since it only has 49K miles and runs/drives. I do have 7 or 8 old mopars without front end damage though!

Sorry, can't let it die.
Haters, I challenge you to post up pics of YOUR cars, I, and I am sure other green car owners, want to see if you have any business pickin at our cars for freakin color!

[alfaitalia]

I've yet to see anyone in this thread really hating on green cars anyway....just friendly banter. Color is a personal thing...you like it or you don't. Mine is going to be blue...but I guarantee the finished article will divide the crowd.

Baloney. Vile as a description is not friendly banter. And, gonna be is about what I expected. Good pic of mine on august 2017 Snap On calendar.

Agree--Our cars were sold in the colors that moved them to the public at the time.
We are a large group with many impulses.
I like that my "avacado" (F8) colored 69 Coronet hemi 4sp matched my stove and refrgerator of the day.

What is the top popular color of this day?---Should I change mine to fit in?

How do you have time for this ? Or do you do this for a living ?

BTW My 70 Charger was F5 Pea Green. I HAD TO REPAINT IT ANOTHER COLOR ASAP.

It's just weekend fun-I have a full time job during the week. The trick is to invest in some quality time saving tools and then just do the same cars over and over! I am notoriously cheap on tools but I bit the bullet and bought 2 new Milwaukee Fuel impacts (1/2" and 3/8" drive) and they have revolutionized the way I work on cars. Between the impacts and doing only SRT8's I can completely strip and disassemble an SRT in about 12-15 hours (about 3 partial Saturdays). As I strip parts, I take pics and list on eBay. I usually only work on the cars on Saturday and I box sold parts in the evenings after the kids are in bed. I am slowing down though. I used to get a full Saturday to work and now I'm down to about 3-4 hours per Saturday.

Here's a pic. 

Sometimes it isn't easy being green.

PS.  I also found another teeny barn.

Did you FIND anything in the barn?

Haters, I challenge you to post up pics of YOUR cars

Below is my green car with a top coat of Super Blue. I also have a green car top-coated flat black if anyone is interested.

1st, It's bad enough having to say I own a GREEN car, 2nd being seen driving a GREEN car, 3rd, it don't scream any GREENER than this, I just wish this car had originally been any other colour other than GREEN, try driving a "watermellon" around without getting strange looks
