Help me pick a color the time has come!!

Here is a thread I found for you to maybe look at. It was started by Amazingblue and although it is a wheel and tire thread there are many pics of cars [over 50 pages] that you could browse through and maybe find a color that tickles your fancy.


C-Body Wheel and Tire Survey

I believe I have first right of refusal. .... I should get three votes

 

[FURYGT]

I posted the suggestion of the 71 Plymouth Mood Indigo color since there seamed to be a preference toward purple.

If it were mine, my first choice would be red, maybe an inferno red from the late model Dodges, second choice would be turquoise and my third choice would be silver. I am not a fan of white or black. If the car had a red or blue interior then the white would be tolerable but white with a black interior does nothing for the car. Some may like triple black - that is what my '70 Polara rag top was that I sold many years ago that went overseas earlier this year.

How come silver is not on the list? That's where my singular vote would be.

I voted in the poll for color choices.

If you're considering non-correct colors too, I've always liked very dark red (black cherry). I also like a later Mopar color KJ6 with black. Funny, almost every time I see it, it's nearly always with white. I don't care for it with white, but I like it with black.

Somewhere in Europe as I recall. Triple black, buckets, console, A/C, PW & Superlite and more. Originally a 383 2-V car missing the original engine when I bought it back in the early 1990's. Joe, whom I sold it to kept it triple black, put a dual quad 440 in it with some aftermarket wheels and he deleted the body side moldings and the a/c, which I am sure he regretted after moving to Florida. A very nicely done car that was mostly restored by the owner. The car had a lot of power and had trouble getting traction. Hated to see the car go oversees but no one hear stepped up to the plate. Joe is know working on a Lil Red Truck.

I remember the car Bill if you recall i considered it when you were selling it.

I recall. That car needed a lot of work so it is probably best that you passed on it.

The car, being a rose bowl car, and originally white leaves only one logical choice. White......!
White is the color that, (most stylist's will tell you), best accentuates the lines of any car. Especially a large one. And it's SOOooooo elegant.

Not the FY1 car but a silver car resprayed in yellow ... its closeView attachment 135536

That same car with a better photo

@polara71, do you have more info on the current whereabouts of the formerly EA4 silver Polara (DL27L0D137069 -- unless I am mistaken)?

this one as a driver just won't have the bodywork to support it as black shows EVERYTHING

@1969vert500, any update on your Rose Bowl car? Any chance it might be ready by next July?

The silver car now yellow I believe is in Kansas.

I haven't heard from Mike in a few years now. I hope all is ok. He had one Hell of a nice collection of 440 Polaras

White is the only choice here as you said two years ago Will.

I don't believe you can get to much orange in the garage.
Love my 71 Super Bee and my 70 4 speed 4:10 Dana R/T

Original color, or too much of the history is gone...

 

[polara71]

I do hope now looking at it three years after I sold it and from 1500 miles away I do hope it gets restored .

 

[xxcarguy]

Wrong orange!
I voted cream but would go back white if it were mine but it's not.
Should look great when it's done.

White is my choice for this car...…. And I'm sticking to it.
