An F8 ivy green met. with black int. or a K3 burnt orange with black int.  :roflsmiley:

im a fan of the Burnt Orange with Burnt Orange int... i like the green on green cars too, something just sets that interior color out there on its own.

All though my Dad has always told me to avoid the green cars, I sure like the sassy grass and lime!

...back in the day, when these cars were rolling off the line, the nation was also deeply involved in Viet Nam.....dark green, or "Army Green" as we called it then was VERY popular on many  Muscle cars of the era....during the last few decades, green has sort of fallen out of style/vogue or what ever you want to call it.....for many years, I bought and sold MOPAR Muscle as a hobby of sorts...the unwritten rule was "DON'T BUY GREEN CARS", no one wants to buy them....I found a Lime Green E-Body could eventually find a home, a Sassy Grassy Green E-Body was a lot harder to place with a new owner, and F8 Green (Army Green) was nearly imposible to sell, unless it was an exceptional car at a fire sale price (cheap enough to be repainted ANY color but green)....green/green interior was a kiss of death for a resale, and triple green, you only bought it if you wanted to keep the car for ever.....

personally, I like greens, I had a new "Army Green" 68 GTO and have one today.....I also own a Lime Green Challenger RT/conv....

...but if you plan to resell it, be prepared to take a beating verbally and pricewise during the selling process....
TO me i could care less what other people like,i have had many cars in the shade of green over the years,My ford diesel is white/that color green.Back in 94 i bought a thunderbird super coupe off the showroom floor in that color green with ground effects and the whole 9 yards.I also had a Taurus SHO in that color,And many others.I I never had one person say the tbird wasnt gorgeous.When my GC and Bee are done I am sure I will get the same compliments.The lack of mopars where i live wouldnt effect my car's color in anyway.A 70 barracuda would sell the first day it went up for sale.Afterall its a barracuda not a 1 in 5mill mustang or camero.Of course I'm not as picky as other people.I will take any mopar not matter the color.ITS A MOPAR!and I wouldnt give more money for one just for a color.The color doesn't make the car.And I could have changed the color,a sin to me,people are fickle.Remember bell bottoms?Everything changes.I think a lot of it is the non mopar educated people(dreamers wishing they had one).THey ask if all mopars are plum crazy and have a hemi,we all know they dont.

Really nice looking cars, Allgreen70RT I cannot remember ever seeing a green stripe like yours looks nice, how rare is that?
Thanks
I'm told there are only about 10 known with the green stripe.

green/green interior was a kiss of death for a resale, and triple green, you only bought it if you wanted to keep the car for ever.....
Well my Challenger was originally quadurple green which probably means I couldn't give it away.  :roflsmiley:
I hope there are others out there that appreciate green sense I'm getting ready to put it on Craigslist.

Giving it some time thinking about this post,I think I will change my opinon.I think all EF8 cars look like krap,that is the worst ugliest color ma mopar ever released.I dont know why anyone would ever want one.
That being said,anyone who has any EF8 mopar,I'll take them off your hands for the dirt cheap price Daytona was selling them for. :bigsmile: Come on they are ugly,you wont miss them a bit! :bigshades:
Just pm me and i'll take them off your hands P: :smokin:

I wonder if this lifesaver color will save the life of a viper interesting to see how many are sold?
In 30 years the green one will be the one to have on the auction block :money:
Go green!
