Thanks.  The color is Chrysler graphite(code pdr).  I installed 1" lowering blocks on the rear axle to lower the body 1".  The measurements are 25.5" from ground to fender lip on the rear and 24.5" from ground to fender lip on the front.

Is that color a new color (recent) or from what year?
Do you have pics showing the lowering blocks? Can you also post pics of the rear shackles.
Man I just love the look of your Charger. The stance, the color, the wheels and tires.
Hope you dont mind but this is going to the top of my list of color choice for my 69 Charger resto

the color has been with Chrysler for awhile. The first time I seen it was on a viper and I knew that was the color I wanted. The lowering blocks actually came from AutoZone for $32. They had 1,2 and 3". I will get pics tomorrow for you.

Wow! impressive. I have had my red Charger 22 years & it still never seems like it will ever get finished. I have had my Challenger 5 years & it still doesn't run.

Wow, the bottom of your car looks spotless, I'd be afraid to drive it. I'm digging the black gas tank :yesnod:

That underside is sweet! Mine is as nice as the exterior as well and as
NHCharger said I too am afraid to drive mine. I just undercoated the wheel wells but will have to get over the fear when the snow melts as I am driving my car this year hard! Looks awesome and I should of painted my tank now that I see yours.

The bottom of your car looks better than the top of mine.  :'( There just aren't enough superlatives to describe your car.  :2thumbs:

What type and color paint did you use on the tail panel?

lasvegas69charg

I used flat black single stage for the tail panel
