I'm always amazed how 21st Century Folks are so anti GREEN!  :icon_smile_tongue: :eek2: :nutkick: :misbehaving: :frog: :cryin: :icon_smile_approve: :icon_smile_question:
Strange really when it was such a desirable colour back in the late 60's.

Or is it that green cars were better looked after and thats why some many more have survived??? :shruggy: :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:

I found loads of green Chargers on the WeB, must be getting popular again? :popcrn:

It has to be the right shade of green and the right shade of green on the the right year. For instance, your examples: right green but on the wrong year car = bad...







The same greens on the right year cars = good...







Here's an example of a good green...



DISCLAIMER: If the above vehicle had a green roof, the good in that shade of green would be negated by the green vinyl.



And here's an example of a not so good green, made even worse with the addition of a green vinyl roof...




And a full green interior makes it three times worse:








You can take this info to the bank.    :2thumbs:

I'll take F8 over that sublime stuff any day. But like everything else here it's just an opinion. You can paint these cars with a set of crayons and it will still be an awesome car.    :2thumbs:

Green is GOOD, but Green guts is BAD!!!

Shame really as my mates C500 is VERY Green everywhere, even the money he bought it with was GREEN TOO! :smilielol:

ITS NOT EASY BEING GREEN, ask Kermie... :icon_smile_tongue:

The green interior is bad for sure, I have one! It's an ugly green and there's way too much of it. I feel the same about the blue and red interiors though, too much and too plastic looking...but it beats green.   :D

My car used to be F8 in and out with a white top. If only the interior had been white I'd consider taking it back to stock specs...minus the 318 that is...

 I like some shades of green, but to look into a toilet and say "hey I like that color" is just wrong.  :brickwall:

Just an FYI. A normal healthy bowel movement is usually some shade of BROWN. Not green . You may need to see a doctor. No offense intended....

Color preferences vary by age and gender.

I grew up with F8 with black interior so my preference doesn't fit with gender norms.  The preference for black though does.   :nana:

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.....

There is still something about the F5 doesn't convince me really yet, but I dig into the F8 and Sublime green ( which is the code for it ? )

F3 is nice too, but not like the others... I think REALLY LIKED that F3 with green top thought!

I'm agreed some bodies suits better on some colors, other ones not that good. I don't think a Sublime suit fits "perfect" on a 2nd gen, not even on a 70 being an option on them. Simply is OK and I can take it, althought maybe not on a 68/69 like on a 70. Better on a Chally, Swinger or Demon ( just talking about Dodge... of course applies the same for Plymouths )

So does this car have a green or black interior? My guess is green. And is this not one of your current or previous cars?

F8 is the only good green IMO.  




Thanks R.C. For that BURNED-IN image!@&#.  :eek2:

Thanks mods!

Whatever green is parked next to my sublime 70 really pops in person. I was also torn between Sublime and Green Go when it was paint time. It is kind of strange however, that I like red and blue interiors, but not green.

Green was a popular color back then no doubt. The house I grew up in had green appliances in the kitchen, and gold porcelain in the bathrooms!

A local guy in my town has a 68 charger R/T 440 car that is solid green. I think it is F8 green, it is the darker metallic green and he bought it brand new. It could use some work but it is in pretty good shape. It is an automatic on the column and i'm pretty sure it has the green interior. It has been several years since I have seen it but I talked to him awhile back and he just stopped driving it he said. He has a 69 charger 383 car that is in great shape to but I haven't seen it in awhile either. I know he still has them but they haven't been out on the road in awhile.....

While green wouldn't be my first choice for a vinyl top or interior, I like them when they are restored properly and fresh looking. Our Charger is factory black with a green top and interior and we are restoring the car back to that combination. I think it will look cool. I know its not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but Ive never seen another one with that combo...
