Cody, I took the scanned paint chips from MyMopar.com and took a look at their RGB (Red Green Blue) numbers.  The problem is that since this comes from a scan it is not going to be exact, but it should be close.

From the '73 Dodge codes:
Blue Streak: R44 G103 B169

To show you the variation, the '68 Corp Blue: R38 G92 B154.

As you can see there is a slight variation.  The reality is that you will never be able to completely duplicate the color in Photoshop because of screen resolution, highlights/lowlights on the car, etc.  But those numbers should get you close.
