Wally, it's EF8 IVY METALLIC, it's a '70 color.  It was replaced in '71 with GF7 SHERWOOD GREEN.

Good lord what did you hit that thing with, an electron microscope? LOL I think I can see individual molecules floating around  :poopoke:

Canon LIDE30scanner (cheap), but can't remeber if I scanned at 300dpi or 600dpi.  I usually scann at 300, but I might have scanned this at 600 because I wanted a really good scan.

I swore to myself that if I ever get a Challenger, it has to be this color combination whether it's a T/A or not.

This thread isn't much help since most people vote for the color of their own car.

 I really think the B-5 blue looks good on your's Wally.  :thumbsup: Are you looking for higher impact? Are you wanting it to stay a Mopar color?

Well Mike, since you ask..  :popcorn: I really dig the B5. I suppose Id just like to see all of the Factory color combs out there. I mean, I have been to quite a few nationals across the country, and we can all agree that each show has over 100 Ebodies in every color. Ive even thought of going to black. but like i said i really like my blue, I just supose im wanting to see what else it could look like. It all started when i started thinking of taking it back to Green. and seeing dif greens. BUT, Im definitely looking to stick with a Factory 70/71 color regardless. my B5 is a 70 color.  :chatting: I suppose i could just google Challengers, I was hoping someone would have an off color Id not seen alot of.

and I dont think I'll be at Glen Burnie Saturday, but we'll have to catch up sometime ....

I would go with forest green metallic or something similar to that.
With a black vinyl top and black interior and the right wheels it can make a challenger look amazing. Classy too.
