Green Chargers

[aerolith]

I'm always amazed how 21st Century Folks are so anti GREEN!  
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???

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

[aerolith]

DMCL green or yellow? the debate continues lol...

[Mytur Binsdirti]

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.   

[Dino]

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.   

[aerolith]

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!

ITS NOT EASY BEING GREEN, ask Kermie...

[Dino]

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.   

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...

[aerolith]

Beware of the Green Police...

[aerolith]

Midnight green, best to look at this after 12 pm methinks, but hey at least there's some wood in there...

Loving the dash handle, makes it look like a real fast car...

Whats with FOUR pedals???  Way too many for most Folks...

[aerolith]

These are Not quite right...

[aerolith]

But this guy knows he's right on the GREENBACKS...

SHOW ME THE BENJAMINS, he's finkin?

[ACUDANUT]

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

[Charger-Bodie]

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

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....

[Charger-Bodie]

Brown with a green tint

[aerolith]

Brown with green tint, thats GY9...lol...

[Charger-Bodie]

I agree.

[XH29N0G]

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.   

[Nacho-RT74]

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 )

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





Wow !!! That's actually my favorite !!!!! LOL

[Davtona]

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

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?

[BIGBLCK11]

F8 is the only good green IMO.  




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

Thanks mods!

I think can see a green dash

[darbgnik]

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!

[69wannabe]

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.....

Nope, that's not mine, here's my car...

[68RT440]

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...

[LeesRT]

I've always like the green colors...especially F6

Really? Black with green top and interior....? Have your ever thought there might be a reason why you have not seen another in that combination?...Lol!

When I worked for VW I accidentally ordered a gold Golf convertible with a blue hood! It was only one digit out on the order code in my defence. I reckon I might have lost my job over it if I had not sold it almost as soon as it arrived so some individual with no taste! It's probably the only one like it in the UK and in my opinion it looked terrible. Bring rare or even one of a kind does not necessarily make it desirable...or even acceptable!

[chapel40]

I loved my green 72 back in the day. they said back then the old people bought them and that's why it was in good shape when I bought it lol.

[green69rt]

I bought a F5 69 RT new off the showroom floor.  Still like the color but my current restoration will have a bit more black in the paint (custom mix) and a black vinyl top and black interior (like my first Charger.)  So I still like them but in different circumstances would try another just for fun.  But, there were a LOT of green Chargers made.

LOL, youre not the first person to say that. The top was dyed black when we bought it but the interior was still original. We bought it from a friend of the family of the original owner. When we talked to him on the phone before we went to look at it he told us "I'm just warning you now, this damn thing has green interior"...apparently people that came to look at it before us walked away from it once they saw the green guts in person.

I can remember looking at my first Charger purchase back in the mid 70's, a 69 triple F8 440 R/T, as soon as I showed up at the guys house, my words were "fuck, it's GREEN!, that sucks" I just kept driving, 2nd car that week, a 68 HEMI Coronet R/T, same thing, I pull up to the guys yard, Again!, triple F8!, car was $800, nice running condition, car in nice shape, daily driver, but the triple F8 made me walk on the deal because F8 was such a dam turn off from wanting to deal with driving it until the color change...

My 70 Charger was a triple F8 as well, it seemed all you find back in the day was F8, god it was depressing, the 2nd owner had painted it white, dyed the top and interior pcs black, to give it curb appeal to resale it, my plans were to drive it for a few years, which I did, then convert it into a black/red stripe, white interior Daytona, but Karma, the "kabosh", destiny, or just plain bad luck, had me painting it in green, at least it's a palatable F6 and J5 just a big ole watermelon rolling down the road  

[aerolith]

Lee's RT is Supercool!

Fat tyres, Challenger tips, towbar and rusty trunklid dent!!!

Forget resto, just drool on a Classic Charger in green.

[Nacho-RT74]

Friend's Green 73, factory paint yet. Some non factory aditions ( previous owner aditions ) like the SE emblem on hood and some other on deck lid. Also got courtesy lights on sail panels, like the ones used on sides on 2nd gen consoles




White top and green interior...

now after some years... waiting someday for the stripe... top removed but painted white




Rear bumper was so rusted that had to change it, and got a 72 one ( note the jack slots )

[ACUDANUT]

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

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....

Depends on what you ate the night before. LOL
Ford made a shit ton of 2 tone turd brown trucks in the 80's. 

[BDF]

Hjå hjå!
Here we go again. 
Glad I have the right color on the right year   

[aerolith]

Not sure what year this is?

But the color is right!

[aerolith]

How could you not like this?

[aerolith]

Or this?

HNY everyone...

[paironines]

Mytur B. Does your car pictured have a green dash with white interior? Ive never seen that if so....

[JB400]

I'd consider doing a deep emerald green.

Personally, Chrysler had some pretty drab greens or too bright of greens.  Sassy Grass is about the best looking of the factory greens.

[Dino]

How could you not like this?

With the greatest of ease.

[alfaitalia]

If I had to have a green one, a light green one like that would be far more acceptable to me than a dark green. I seriously considered the Kawasaki racing green (another member has used that colour iirc)...but my Mrs has a problem when anything green...so that was that! Going for blue now ...a Ford colour (the superbly named Deep Impact Blue!)..sorry!

[aerolith]

I always wanted a FJ6 Sassy Green Mopar so my options of finding one was limited.
Didn't like it on a Dodge (Green Go) so I went for a Plymouth instead.
Looked at a few 71/72 Runners and then decided to color change my own 71 GTX which was a GY9, it was only a small change to Sassy?

Then in steps the wife with, ''my favourite colour is Plum Crazy Purple''( In Violet )...
She has never forgiven me for going down the Sassy route.

You can please some of the people, some of the time, so best go with your own colour options methinks.

THERE IS NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE...

[aerolith]

There can be worse greens...

[JB400]

Plum Crazy is a pretty colour, but I think it's over done. B5 is a close second on that list.

You done good going with Sassy Grass.

[Sublime/Sixpack]

How could you not like this?

Sharp car!

[Kern Dog]

I used to dislike green cars. I graduated in 1983 and these classics were still in great numbers then. There were LOTS of green Pontiacs around, green Chevelles, Mustangs...And of course Mopars. Time must change a persons preferences because back then, I didn't like them. Now? Oh yeah....Maybe it is because I have seen way too many new cars in the most bland and boring colors ever to be sprayed on a car. Silver? White? Black? Freeway commuting, you see a sea of blandness....lookalike cars with lookalike colors. I wonder why people settle for such boring colors for their cars. I have always had cars or trucks that stood apart from the crowd. I'm not an introvert or an ex-con in the Witness protection program so a "stand-out" car is just fine by me. Green may be more attractive now because it stands out...in a vast sea of blandness...

[VegasCharger]

Christ, does every 71-74 B Body have to have a spoiler on it??

Absolutely disgusting. 

[OldGuy]

Mine is F5 green - I don't mind it...

[ACUDANUT]

Christ, does every 71-74 B Body have to have a spoiler on it??

Absolutely disgusting. 

How is our dear Lord "Christ"  involved in this. 

[DAY CLONA]

Christ, does every 71-74 B Body have to have a spoiler on it??

3rd gens need all the help they can get in the looks dept

[aerolith]

Its Christmas, so Christ is in our minds, and also brings to mind, ''if God was one of us, just a stranger on a bus, trying to make his way home''.

Now we all know that God drives a Mopar, but which one???

I bet it would be green whatever it is lol.

[Nacho-RT74]

Christ, does every 71-74 B Body have to have a spoiler on it??

Not agreed, even being Green LOL

[VegasCharger]

I was on the "sauce" last night and I should've stayed away from the keyboard.

My apologies for involving the "Christ" factor.

I just hate spoilers on all Chargers with the exception of the Daytona wing and all other 71-74 B Bodies.

To each his/her own and I should respect that it's "their" car and to do what they wish to do to it.



EDIT: I also want to apologize for hacking this thread of topic of green Chargers. I like them especially F-8. 

[Nacho-RT74]

I can't say actually hate spoliers but they are not my taste... some exceptions like The Judge, or Chrysler 300 Hurst thought that I can even like... Ducktails are a diff stuff.

there is a Charger 71 Prototype with a The Judge look a like spolier that I actually like, but still dunno: that's anyway another discussion what We already got sometime ago

[moparstuart]

 

[moparstuart]

my greenies 

[aerolith]

Michelangelo comes to mind...

The creation of Adam and then many moons later GREEN Chargers... As we all know, we are just 'visitors' on God's good Earth!

[aerolith]

Told you Green was Coolio again...

[Fitz73Chrgr]

Or this?

HNY everyone...

Easy, it has 4 doors. 

That Sublime '70 with white top and stripe is too bright.  Needs some dark features.  I also feel like light and bright colors cover up the lines of the 2nd gen body. 

[6pkrtse]

I don't mind green. I have only owned three green cars. A 71' 500 Charger, a 74' Town & Country Wagon with a 440 & a 76' New Yorker with a 440. If the price was right I would buy any old Mopar in any color/shade of green. In fact I guy I work with has a 69' Triple Green 4 speed GTX that I have been trying to get but he always wants way to much for it after watching all of the Barrett-Jackson shows.... LOL.
