What is the most popular exterior color for a '68?

[GTX]

I know it's been thrashed around before. I seem to remember a thread or two on it from years back I think but don't remember the outcome.

I'm not interested in personal favorites but I'm wondering what would be voted as the current favorite color? I suspect that in light of Bullrun and Mr Angry there will be even more interest in black with the red bee stripe which imo you really can't go wrong on unless your body isn't arrow straight.
Some really like something in a red with black bee which is also always a favorite and some like silver or blue.

What do you guys think? What is the perennial favorite that everyone seems to want?

I like the RR1 red or the turquoise the best, both with black bee stripes and non vinyl roof

I think black has always been the popular choice. I like Turquoise and Silver alot. Bronze and Burgundy are pretty sweet as well.

Of course my favorite color on a Charger is the one it was born with.

I like the MM1 bronze color on a 68.  A few members have it on here

BLACK  there is likely more black 68 chargers now then when they were new! and mine is one of them!

[SeattleCharger]

You are asking what is the current most favorite color?  but not personal favorite color?   so  you mean what would be the most common color today?  or the most favorite color of the majority of people?    I guess if black is most popular overall and more cars are painted black, then originally, I would say black.
   You have bullit, blade, mike's car will help, the grindhouse one is sort of black, maybe black primer, the fast and the furious, so movies like black, a lot of people might relate to the general lee, more of the public that isn't charger or mopar people, but not saying that's most popular color though, maybe just a well known charger,      I can't decide what color I would go if I could go any color, was originally QQ1 blue

[GTX]

I'm trying to decide whether I would go ahead and paint my car a color that I like even though is really popular or go to something less seen.
Of course the color de jour will probably change by the time I'm ready.

if its a 1968 dodge charger there only is one color......BLACK

I'm a sucker for white car! Enought said

[CharlieCharger]

I bet bullitt has influenced  more triple blacks than there was from the factory..I would have to agree with it though.

[GTX]

Hmmm, mine came white with blue interior..........
I have a buddy with a white '69. Not too bad but I've always been partial to the greens after having one and that's wort of what I've been thinking of.
Then again, Mr Angry sure looks sweet and black is always great on a '68 but I'd hate to be a copy cat even though about 2000 miles separates us.
I'm thinking that maybe Bullrun might spawn a new resurgence in popularity of black '68 Chargers.  Duke orange for '69 and Angry black for '68's

Maybe I should patent a paint code while I can and trademark it Angry black!!!!

That is one sweet combo! If it were mine, I would keep it just like that.

i have a bunch of pics of it!!! beatufull car!!!!!!!!!

[dkn1997]

Red is most popular.  It's because the red ones are fastest....

[Charger-Bodie]

that white charger was in minneapolis st paul minnesota i actually thout about that one too 

[GTX]

That looks exactly like the '68 R/T 4sp car that  I was going to buy in high school but the guy wrecked it driving head on into a wall racing it during lunch the day we were to make the deal.
Well, that one is shinier and doesn't have the ass end up in the air like we all did back then.

I wouldn't sell for 22k myself.

What about E1 Blue?

[SeattleCharger]

I don't know what color this is.
well, I know its blue, but what color blue, I don't know, medium light blue

I like the MM1 bronze color on a 68.  A few members have it on here

Mine is a factory MM1. I think SS1 yellow is also nice, but you can't go wrong with a black 68.

[RECHRGD]

I'm partial to SS-1 myself.    Bob

[BB1]

Thanks for voting for me... thx U thx U 

[Arigmaster]

Black...nuff said!

[ck1]

QQ1 is my car that was repainted once in B5 which is a 69 color, But I like them all in any color, Black is really nice from a distants but never liked the way it looks up close............I think you would have to do some resreach on BJ to see what top dollar cars go for which is seems usually black, blue or red take your pick.........

[Manfred318]

JJ1 for me, but I'm kinda partial to that one Over all I would think black, blue or red would be the most popular.

[deputycrawford]

     You mentioned going a less seen color. How about the FF1 light poly green. My 69 is what they call F3 green, I believe its the same green as the 68 FF1. I have been to several Charger only meets. I was at the 20th aniversary meet in Jefferson, MO and only saw maybe 2 or 3 light green Chargers and there were 165 in attendance. Open the link below and click on the pic of my Charger at Milan Dragway. It will open several pics of the car in a friend's driveway. You might like the light green look. Its different, although I think the white top is what sets it off a bit. Have fun with your choice.

     I checked on the link and it only brings up the Milan pic. Try this one below. It should work.

Don't get me going on green. I like green and if I think about it too much my brain will explode.

Too many choices, how about if I have a car in each color and combination?

I won't even be picky and insist on having all R/T's or hemi's, I'll take an assortment.

[deputycrawford]

     GTX, enough said. Just a suggestion. Try not to get frustrated in your choice. That's just part of the fun. Pin up pics of different color combos around the house in different spots. Out of nowhere, when you enter a room, you will get fresh thoughts of those color combos when least expected. The colors that still excite you weeks later will narrow the list considerably.

[GTX]

Every time I look at your car I want that color. Every time I see a darker green I want it.

Maybe I should stick with something in the green family. I like them and I don't see them everyday. Of course I don't see '68 Chargers everyday anymore either.
The point to the question was partly what I would like but mostly what is the most popular.

[deputycrawford]

     The most popular color seems to be red, balck, and blue, for the most part. There are many who would disagree but I believe the numbers will prove the fact. If you like green, then go with green. Just think of the most popular color is what you pick. Your car will most likely be the most popular car at a local car show anyway.  You have to stare at the hodd when you drive it. Pick the color you want to stare at.

You will allways be cool with a Charger.

[1968 Charger B5]

My charger is originally LL1, and its a great color

[deputycrawford]

Oh and GTX, You can stare at my car. You might even be able to add it to your collection. The divorce is gettin longer and the sale is getting more eminent.

I agree

[19Charger68]

While I love the Bronze Poly on my 68, I cannot think of anything meaner looking that the triple black 68 Charger - It looks just plain evil!
