If it were me, I'd go for the stock Hawaiian Orchid/Purple Haze that mie is. I've only seen 1 or 2 others here in Kitsap County and very few elsewhere.

Unless you're removing body panels to completely change the color, you have to stick with the stock paint job or it will look tacky as all hell.

I'd say stick with the black/silver combo you have now, but get a real good quality black paint, so it really shines in the sun.

If you're planning on going to the IROC, or early 90's ground effects, you could go solid black with heritige stripes, or something similer, but that can kinda look tacky.

Yeah the paint on it is shot, it looks ok in pictures but it is pretty gross. My goal is to get the newer effects and then go all black with white stripes. What do you guys think of something like that? Its something I have only seen once.

They did in 1966. Someone noticed it and Mopar had to change it.

Silver with Black GFX. Or all Black even the GFX. I like the red "Z/28" emblem on the GFX, it stands out....I personally prefer to delete all the badging except for the one on the dash on the inside and the little rectangular shaped emblem on the nose of the car.

to be honest i don't realy know a damn thing about them. i just love the looks of late sixties and 70s mopar action. road runner/GTX/Satalite, charger, baracuda. they all kick ass. i know a baracuda is the biggest, so for that reason i would want a smaller one like a charger (calling a charger "small" is weird), but i would settle for the smallest of the three, the Road runner, if i had to.

an old mopar is a permanent resident of my dream garage. i might as well list them off Very Happy

1. 1989 TTA. .........................once in a while driver, would see drive time once a month.
2. "plum crazy" charger. ..........big engine, full cage. the "drage race" car. for 1/4 use.
3. my GTA. ...........................the "normal" one. this would see drive time twice a week probably.
4. the "daily". .........................a 4 door BMW or somthing. new with a waranty. the one i won't touch. used to drive the kids/wife around
5. sazuki samurai. ....................huge lift. light blue soft top. dirt/snow toy.

ok, since im the mopar guy of the site i suppose heres some factory colors which came out of the muscle car wars

Plum Crazy (FC7)

Sublme Lime (FJ5)

I think this color would look cool on a maro:

One of my favorites, B5 Blue:

might do this on one of my cars

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly though, I think you should stay with a chevy color. 1975 Corvette Flame Red is my pick of the day. Im using it on my General Lee hopefully this summer Cool
