Comes back on my paint chip chart as Burnished Red Poly. Here is the 74 Dodge chart.

It is a burgundy metallic color.  I have only seen a couple of cars that color, and they were pretty stunning.

Thats teh color it is. and it is metal flake as well. Car needs a repaint but is original, It one of those colors that changes with the light, Some times it looks brown (in the dark) but in the sun it looks like a glass of wine.It looks like a big grape sitting there! :bananasmi

Thanks for that paint chip chart, good reference. Seem to caught the challenger bug, have been parting out a 73(rusted out) ralley for parts, using the interior and the bumpers and fender scoops. the 74 had been parted out but still has original # matching driveline. I hope to install a carb. and abattery tray today and see if I can get it to run.car came with 3 of the 4 ralley wheels and one has a rotted don't hold air f60-14,2 g60-14s and a 235 60-14 I plan on closing gap of front bumper that I read on site in a barracuda forum. love this site, just like a mopar library at my finger tips!

That's it. It was the color on my first Challenger. Loved the color, too!  :2thumbs:
