1969 Bronze

[JMF]

Just wondering what everyone's opinions on Bronze 1968-1970 Chargers are ? Is it a popular colour ?

I've been looking for a black Charger for a while and can't seem to find one, or one suitable(I'm in England)

So a 69 I know of may be coming up for sale which is the right condition and spec and it is Bronze with tan interior

Also if I were to paint it black do you think Black exterior would work with tan interior ? Anyone got any pics ? I've only seen black Chargers with black or white interiors I think

Thanks

I have a bronze 67 with white interior and I wasn't crazy about the color at first.  Now I like it a lot.  On the 2nd gens, I always did kind of like it.

I think Black with a tan gut is awesome....

That is a beautful 69 R/T, the 70 Chevelle looks good as well!

For 1969 I really like T7 (Dark Bronze)  I don't like T3 (light bronze).  However, T5 (medium copper) wouldn't get kicked out of my garage as long as it had the "right stuff"

[Edit]: I must agree with Charge69 below. T5 Copper with a white roof and white interior would make an awesome color combo.

I had a good friend that bought a 1969 Charger,383-4bbl, auto, loaded used in the fall of 1970 that was T-5 bronze with a white vinyl top and white interior that was a gorgeous car! Bronze is not my favorite color but, I gotta say, my friend's T-5 Charger was a stunning car!

If mine was that color, I certainly wouldn't complain!

Two Bronzes in '69, T3 light bronze and T7 dark bronze.

The T7 Bronze when it's fresh is pretty nice....

Also, a T3 Bronze, the lighter version.

Agreed on T7 when fresh. In the pics I posted, that's the car pulled from the barn after sitting for decades. On the info sheet, it stated that all that was done was to clean/buff the paint. It looks to really shine, compared to the other pics from when it was pulled from the barn.  

Here's a pic from the show:



And from the eBay auction:

The Bronze colors aren't the most popular but it isn't a horrible color either. I am not a big fan of Bronze with tan top/interior and I don't think that combo ages well. The barn find car is a perfect example. It just looks cruddy regardless of the buff job. I personally perfer the color when it comes with white interior or black top/interior. Many of the photos in this thread show beautiful cars.

I kinda like bronze with tan but not as much as black with tan.  I'd still do that to mine if it wasn't such a pain to keep clean.  I'm lazy so I'm sticking with white.  All it needs is a rinse.

For 1969 I really like T7 (Dark Bronze)  

My one Charger was originally T7, but someone painted it orange 

When I was looking for Chargers again in 2010, 20 years after my first, I was really only looking for T7 or T5 cars. It seems Blue and Green Chargers are a dime a dozen, with red popular, presumably for the resale red factor? 

Anyways, Bronze, Copper, and silver, are my favorite colors on Chargers.

1969 Bronze Chargers are my favorite 

This color looks alot like MM1 Bronze from '68.   

Monitors sometimes play tricks...but the point is that the bronzes were different from '68 to '69.

T3 (light bronze metallic) looks like gold and is 100% awesome.

No bias here...

Agreed on that, it could be the monitor, or the 1968 Bronze. The other 1969 I posted is definitely original T7, as I saw the car at Carlisle a couple years ago. It looked much better than the barn pics.

I like them, regardless of what shade they are, I even like the Greens, only don't care for yellow.

My 69 is a T5 Copper and it's suppose to have a Tan top and interior. I got it with a new all black legendary interior. I've been thinking about selling it off (the new interior) and getting the Tan stuff so I'm at a cross roads...

I didn't like the T5 but it has grown on me 

[hemi68charger]

..., only don't care for yellow.

What? Like this?  

[bsakal]

I was thinking of changing my '69 from F3 to T5, but I'm not sure about how it would look with a black interior.

[Daytona R/T SE]

My "other" '69 is T5 Copper with tan vinyl top and tan interior.

That's the way it'll be when I rebuild it.

Mine was originally T5 with black interior and no vinyl....it looked good new....

[6pkrtse]

I like this color alot. My other 70 Charger 500 S.E. was originally T5 Bronze. Then a previous owner painted it orange (with no 01 on the door). Currently in mulitiple colors as I purchased it.

Despite what that Canadian kid calls himself...

T5 Is COPPER! 

Not bronze...

Without wishing to sound grouchy (been at work all night since 8am), practically every second generation Charger in England seems to end up black or orange - for obvious reasons. Leave the poor thing the original colour.

Yeah but Bronzy is a much better sounding nickname for him than Coppery.

Thanks for the replies, this is the 69 i'm thinking of getting, what kind of Bronze does it look like ?

Damn right... keep it T7!!       (ducks)

Personally, that looks like T5 Copper...... It is too light to be the T7 Dark Bronze like I used to have and is definitely too dark to be T3 Light Bronze

[charge69]

Looks to me like T5 Copper. also. One of my friends from long ago bought a 1969 Charger that color except with a white vinyl top/interior and no tailstripe and it was a stunning car! This was in the fall of 1970.
