Odd 68 charger I bought today?? Blue car, green interior???

I bought a 68 charger down by Detroit today. It's been sitting in this shed since 1991.  I was able to acquire it thru a friend today and when I got it home I decoded the fender tag. It said qq1 bright blue and then had the code for a green interior!!!!  The green interior was so dirty I automatically thought it was black but just dirty but in fact it's green.  Factory 383 2 bbl car with air conditioning and a aftermarket blue vinyl top! 

My question is.....has anyone ever seen this color combo before?  Did a dealer order this or more likely a person custom ordered it with those colors.

Never seen that color combo - sounds pretty ugly to me!! :eek2:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Maybe the original owner was color blind. My dad had some strange color combinations with things.

It's a 2nd Gen Charger.  It'll look good no matter what options it has...

I have never seen that combo, but I once owned a 68 Charger that was factory green with red interior! I called it the "Christmas Charger"  :lol:

The dealers were advised on how to order the cars for the lot..like what options were best suited for certain price ranges, what color combos to avoid..We see "against the grain" choices occasionally that tell us someone must have wanted a certain combination bad enough to special order a car to get what they wanted.

Post up a pic of the fender tag and the car please.  That is one bad ass unicorn.  :drool5:

It probably had a small tear in the vinyl top right there, that kept collecting water & dirt. Then it festered. :eek2:

Welcome to the club.  :lol:

The database for this website for pictures is something like one directory so files need a unique name across all photos ever uploaded.  So, 'charger1.jpg' probably won't work, but mash the keyboard and 'asdf09afa0s9fd.jpg' probably will.

Resize to under 200kb with Paint or another program.

==============

Even better: use Photobucket, Dropbox, or other free pic hosting service and link any size picture like so:
