When you get one you can paint it... :D

I think the green ones are the only ones that survived. I used to think that over half of the 68 Chargers made were green but it just so happens that I now own three that aren't (and never have been) green. They sure did make a lot of green/tan/brown/gold cars back in those days. Kinda like silver modern cars.

I don't remember every year but i do remember that in 1967 Gold was the most popular color. There were trends in colors then just like now...

Silver, white and black are the popular colors now...

triple_green

Threre were 4 different greens in 1968.

Yes a lot of green, brown, tan ones survived, because they were owned by adults, not the flashy colors which were owned by young people and thrashed to death or wrecked. (I was one of those young people). Same with 4-speeds, only around 15% were made and a lot less than that survived.

 Green is for envy Mustange. Sell the dam $130.00 models and buy a Charger, or a Aspen something so you won't have the time to think of these post ;D

Take it as kidding around and not me being nasty. I posted on the old site "if you are posting you are not wrenching on your Mopar". My self, letting her site, tired of head aches. ;D

Here is a idea, post what color should I paint my ash trays? ;D Mustanghater, please buy a Mopar, would love to see a post about how to pull my engine and not my ---- ;)

You are more than free to blow me Chevy about my spelling.

By the way, my first Charger was a 1970 383 HP colume shift triple geen. Yeck, dye the roof black and did a stripe to break it up some.

Hope I am not getting the finger while you read this, like I said I am kidding around. Not the part about buying a Mopar, think 91 Daytona ;D I have one and like it.

That its probably close to one of one for Green 383 4 speed 68's?

Yup, still got the green 69.  We need to post up the Magnum Force picture taken in Kent at the first meet.  Does Mark (3X) have that picture?  Show the folks what a gaggle of green 2nd generations look like!! :icon_smile_tongue:

Miss the NW occasionally - but we are keeping busy down here.

Green is good. If they have any white in them, all the better. Sublime is obviously in a different class.

My '68 is 66-1 green, I'm not too fond of it.  It's going to be repainted in GG-1 (racing green metallic) when the time comes, which is IMHO the quintessential color for most any B-body.  All the evil looks of black, with some metallic thrown in. :D

I was never a huge fan of green either.  Neither was the guy I bought my car from.  One of the reasons he was selling it.  Honestly, it has grown on me!  I really think this car will look good when it's finished with the black interior, vinyl top & stripe.

And I will wash it - once it gets back on the ground.

69 OUR/TEA

Before I bought my B5 69 R/T,A friend was at the nats( 98'),and there was a F8 triple green,white stripe R/T SE for $13 K.I told him go back and put the deposit,I'll take it.Went back ,SOLD!!!! Damn.One month later,the one I have now came available.$$$$ , truck,trailor off to Palmyra,Pa to go get.My ultimate favorite on 69's is T5 copper with white top and white stripe,and triple black stripe delete.Was almost going to change mine to triple black,but figured I'd better leave mine original for one,and also because my friend has one,so I'll get to see one anyway.I'm not saying I do not like my B5 blue,white top and stripe,I'm just not doing backflips over it.

The previous owner actually went from a bright orange or red, to lime green on my Road Runner. I like the lime more than most greens & would probably say it's the only green I'd have ordered new. There's only a small amount of colors on the spectrum I despise, & that one is the original color on my Barracuda, Tawney Gold. It looks like dark greenish-brown mustard or the skidmark in a diaper.  :o

It is Limefire Pearl Metallic.  It is a Martin-Senior rods & custom's color, and is available at Napa.  It is a very bright lime with a gold sheen underneath.  Hard to spray though.  It lays on very thin.

Of the Mopars that I have owned (20+), only a few have been green:
HP2 Satellite body (was dark green metallic/black interior orginally)
1969 Charger RT shell (was triple green and stripe delete)
1969 Superbee (green/black interior and stripe delete)
1970 Coronet 4dr.

I almost have had more T5s (copper-tan metallic, I don't consider that green):
1969 Charger WHS (tan top and interior)
1969 Charger stripped shell
1969 Superbee (white interior and stripe)

Most of the cars I find and can buy are either red, black or blue lately......

My car will be triple black when I`m done with it. The original triple green is ugly enough to make you puke. Well at least whoever changed the vinyl was smart enough to use black.

for what ever reason Green cars always survive usually in close to mint condition . maybe most were too embaressed to drive them or green was just ordered by older people on their death beds !!!???

sixpack70

Humm if its for old people, then why is my 70 a triple dark mettalic green V code 4spd?  :P  Unless it was for the chebby guy to drive up next to it and they yell out "nice old man car", right before the chebby guys gets smoked at the stoplight not knowing what was under the hood. My 69 Mach 1 mustang was also Black Jade, a green color similar to f8. I am leaving out the green though on that car. All black with red stripes. Charger stays triple green!

YUP I have remarked on that too. Most of the "high Impact" color cars were wrecked by idiot teenagers in the early 80's when you could pick up a used MOPAR for less than $1,000. Who wanted a "green" Charger when you could get hemi orange, red or Yellow. No, I'm not bashing green it's just the facts...Green ones are still alive today because they didn't appeal to people who would have otherwise wrecked them long ago.

I shared the "green Charger" phenomena with my kids who had a diffrent theory, they said it was because they "blended in" to the environment and were not destroyed by predators
