I'm sorry....I can see why it's one of 4 in that color...Fugly. I hate yellow on B bodys....Nice quality reso but the color sucks IMHO. :Twocents:


I second that - what kind of person would go into the dealership in '69 and buy a pale yellow HEMI car?!?!?

BZ

I would.  I love this color!   :yesnod:

Somewhere I've posted pictures of a local car that I call the "Grandma Car". It's yellow with a white top, white interior, and stripe delete. Real cool huh. When you get closer you figure out it's a Hemi 4-speed... :D

This one?  Have you ever talked to him?  I've seen the car around, but never talked to the owner....I'd be curious to know the story. ;)

Yep, that's it. His name is Hoppy (odd considering the license plate huh?). His wife has a RR convertible that they've been driving a lot more often. He says the drone from the Hemi steep rear end gears is a killer on trips farther than about 20 miles. He's a nice guy and restored it himself I believe. He lives on our side of town and he's a member of the Tri State Mopar club. That picture was taken at the Tri State Dragway (a couple of miles from my house) during a Chrysler Classic event.

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

I've seen the car several times around and I knew it was original but I never got the chance to speak with the owner.  I think the last time I saw it was several years ago in Columbus at the May Chrysler Classic event.  I grabbed the pic from the Tri State Mopar club's website because I was fairly certain that was the same car....can't imagine seein' another Hemi 4spd in THAT color combo.   Definitely a sleeper. ;)
