To me, MM1 Bronze Metalic just looks "right" on the '68.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Dont know... Black with a blue flake so when the sun hits it gets a dark blue glow yet black at night time... that may look cool.

UU1 is way lighter than B5 and QQ1......UU1 is like B3.

Fender tag aside, I would go black vinyl roof, black bumblebee stripe on white.

Even though there are many great colors for a 1968 Dodge I agree that it makes since to keep the original color, especially when it is a nice blue color. I like the B5 better but then again the factory color looks pretty cool. Beside once repainted it will look awesome. :2thumbs:

Good Luck,

Likely a stupid question, but have you tried polishing up the "dull" blue that you have?  The shade itself looks nice in the pic you posted.

I'm with him on keeping it blue.....B3 or B5

I was going to convert my interior to black, but decided to keep it blue, glad I did.

Make your car a Christine Charger Clone (but with a blue inerior)

You've got the build sheet - I'd make it stock. Blues look great on 68 Chargers. Light blue is also incredibly easy to keep looking clean (compared to black and white especially). Other colors I like are dark blue, bright blue, and black with that nice blue interior. White would really set it off.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.
