Seems like you don't see too many that color. I had a 69 close to that color. The guy I sold it to went with top bannana. If my car was that color from the factory it would stay that color.

I really like it.Although my opinion is kinda biased,my '69 is light green.

Its a good look I  had a challenger years ago close to that and loved it

[triple_green]

I had a 69 R/T SE that color F3. I like it with a white vinyl roof and a white butt stripe.

I think there are many better colors than this F4.  My Charger was F4 (Light Green Metallic) so when I restored it, I picked EV2 (Hemi Orange).  See my avitar.  my

I was still thinking about painting my car green when I painted it black. I still don't know what to think of it. It's definitely not something that makes me want to stand up and cheer but there are several other colors that I don't like more.

[TUFCAT]

I like it A LOT!!!  I've gone on record several times to say how much I love green Mopars.

Actually that color was quite common, I like the color, took a while to grow on me though.

Ron has some pics of the Coronet if you're interested. I cant post any.

Not sure of numbers but it sure seems like green was real popular back then, but I agree if mine came that color and was mostly stock I would more than likely paint it the same color.

i personally wouldn't paint my car that color if it was factory applied or not, the only exception being if it was a #'s matching HEMI car. as mentioned before, there are just too many other prettier colors. in my opinion, the reason the green looks good on a car like that is because it is so nice overall... any color looks nice on a charger when the car is restored

i'ts not the best color but it's better then that nasty forest green

[Fitz73Chrgr]

I kind of like it, not a big fan of the green vinyl top though.

[twenty mike mike]

Of the greens available, that's the only one I like, but only with a black top (or no vinyl) and a black interior.



Regarding the Carrington ad, how can that be a "Californian" car, if it's been in Spain "most of its life"?   

[JimShine]

My Charger was this color and was coded F3. It had a black top and green interior, which is a little more pleasent to my eye.

[MichaelRW]

That's the exact color combo my car was originally...green on green on green  . I went with B5 blue metallic with charcoal/black interior and a black vinyl top and BB stripe.

[Lost Sheep]

I own a 68 Charger with that same paint code(whats left of it anyways) with a black vinyl top and I cant wait to repaint it someday. I am not a big fan of that color personally.

[70charginglizard]

B E A uitiful! 

[deputycrawford]

Mine is a numbers 2 bbl car with a white top. I am starting to like it. I might repaint it that color. It WAS a common color. Nobody seems to use that color anymore. Check out the link below. Many people tell me to paint it that color again. I just might do it.

My old 69 R/T SE

[triple_green]

and another

[TUFCAT]

Hey triple_green, that's a very beautiful Charger!  The background of the picture looks like Memory Lane Motors.  I was never there because I live in Michigan.  But I frequently go online to check their inventory, that's why it looks very familiar to me. I actually bought my survivor Coronet from them in 2005.  It was consigned by member RTPTRON. The transaction was painless, and they are a very honest business to deal with.  I bought my car sight unseen except for the pictures...and a very accurate description over the phone by Mark.  If I had the money I would buy from them again, and would've certainly considered buying that Charger! I remember seeing it online, and drooling on my keyboard!  Great Car! 

[triple_green]

Good catch..that was infact taken, by Mark at memory Lane Motors. They couldn't sell it...but Ebay could.

BTW...Mark at Memory Lane is a "class act"

So is my friend Ron Henry....although he did go to the dark side buying a new Shelby

You sold the car?  I should have noticed (a few replies up) when you refered to the car as "My old Charger" ....anyway, thought you bought it!  I do agree that Mark and Ron are good cats. 

[bsakal]

my '69 SE is originally F3 green with a green vinyl top, black interior, I was thingking of goig with a black top, but that car looks pretty sweet with the green top, I may keep the original colors. I have been debating on changing the color though...

[NMike]

my parents used to haul me and my brother around in  a 73 Ford Country Squire wagon. we used to sit in the back. the metal floor let us slide all over while we drive.

once i got very motion sick in the back. the car was that kind of green with a green vinyl and cloth interior. to this day green like F6 make me feel alittle ill.

[triple_green]

I bought the F3 69 R/T SE and it had a NOM 69 426 hemi in it. It had a one year old paint job and all  of the original SE parts were inplace./ However the fender tag had been lost two owners ago and I could find no build sheet./

I took the hemi out and had it prof rebuilt./ I was told the engine couldn't have had more than 15K miles on it.

Then I put the 440 from my challenger convertible (which was NOM) into the 69  Charger and put the hemi in the Chally Vert./

I did a bunch of work on the 69 Charger to get it close to original looking under the hood.

Because the 69 did not have a fender tag it didn't go for top dollar. I sold it for $26K on Ebay  and it went to Holland.

Probably more info than  you want.

[TUFCAT]

Wow....I'd say that was a smoking good deal for 26K.

[triple_green]

"Wow....I'd say that was a smoking good deal for 26K."

That's what I thought too! Especially since I paid a lot money for it with the hemi in it.

[JimShine]

It is indeed a great color. In my experience, F8 is more common, but there are certainly many F3's currently in red, black and orange paint jobs.

[89MOPAR]

  Same color as my first car - a 69 Charger with a 318 2bbl.  Console shift , black top and interior.   Very Nice.  Too bad its not seen more often.

  Memory Lane Motors sold two of my former cars .  Pretty good folks to work with.

89Mopar - that looks like a NICE Super Coupe dude!!

[72chargerSE]

I remember having a ride in a brand new Super Coupe with my Dad and Tufcat back in 1978...looking back at it, it was a stone dog, but in 78, it was SUPER COOL!

Dual exhaust, one tailpipe the size of a sewer!!

I was impressed as a 12 year old kid!....back then, all of the knuckleheads drove Trash Am's with Chickens on the hood. .... and Z/28's and Mustang II's  hahahahahahaha!

The 70's sucked.

[TUFCAT]

I remember....it was a Volare.  I think Aspens were better looking. 

By the way....getting back to the subject, and not to be a thread high-jacker - - I think they should have been offered in green!

i'ts not the best color but it's better then that nasty forest green

Hey now, that really hurts!  Ha.

Out of all the colors that Ma MoPar laid on from '69 to '73 I'll admit that green would probably not have been the color I would have ordered one in, but when she's still wear'n the original paint (and your the second owner) or you're seriously considering keeping her in the same color she rolled off the line in, you gotta think twice, no three times, before you change it.  Add to that the green interior and your pretty much stuck.

I personally like the light green metallic even better than mine...the nasty forest green.

All joking aside...it's a really tough choice.  Good luck to ya Mark and once you've folowed through with it don't look back.

Jim, I'd give a right lugnut just to have your car 

[71ChallengeHer]

Nothing wrong with green.
