Was able to seal the deal on this ol' girl today. Now I have a 69 Rt 4 speed, console, stripe delete car. looking forward to dragging it home. Triple green f8 car which I'm not very fond of but when looking for a true 4 speed car I can't be that picky. I was thinking of doing it in f6 green instead with white top as I don't think it would hurt the value since f8 is not as sought after. What do you guys think?


TPR

You've done it again cb!
F6 with a white hat won't hurt the value at all.
Go with a white interior too.
Congrats!

F8 was my second Charger I owned.   40,000 original miles, had a repaint on the exterior, but engine compartment, door jams, trunk original paint.   Green on green... Was going to paint it F6, but decided to just sell it to keep its history.  Went down to Atlanta someone.  

Nice score!!!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Great find! Fender tag?

P.S.

I have the 1/4 panel emblems for that car fs here on the forums if you need a pair.
Just doesn't look like an "R/T" without them!

JR

Nice find.

What's the plan beyond paint color? Are you going to restore this one back to stock, original appearing?

For now it's just gonna sit till I can get to it as I have others I wanna get going first. But yeah I'm thinking stock minus original color.

F8 is awesome  period.

Brian, by far you are the biggest lover of F8.    :cheers:

Could be! Proud of it too.

Back when I got my first Charger no one else had one around. It's nice to not like the exact same things as most others.

F6 & White top sounds great!   :cheers:

 Dude!! I saw you on TV not to long ago! :o I love F8 on that car... That was the color of my dads. Stripe delete. Black interior/Black top. I would keep it F8

Sublime/Sixpack

I don't mind F8 Green, but F6 is really a sharp color especially with white top and white interior. I think I'd go for it. :thumbs:

Stripped out an F6 car one time, still got the doors. Nice color, think it was a mid year color only, Spring Special, I think but could be wrong. Nice find.

Given how nice this one looks, keeping it F8 and going with a white top & interior would be a great combo as well!

I'd have a seriously tough time deciding whether to stay F8 or go F6, but would have no issues at all when it came to changing out the green interior.  :eek2:

I think like more F8 than F6... Shame is stripe delete and green top, 'cause I think those in black will outstand more the body in F8.

A quick google search shows plenty of 68 camaros and chevelles in green. I wonder if they feel the same about green as some mopar guys do. I have a 68 charger in dark green with dark green interior and I like it they all cant be black.

Hey Brian, that door badge means that car can be almost any color it wants.    (but I like green too)

I prefer F8 of all other greens, just me I guess.
