Pic request, brown challengers
« on: December 13, 2007 - 09:49:45 PM »
I need to see some pics of brown Challys.   Mine is a dark brown and I haven't saw any browns like it.  Right now my car is in primer and body filler, only the door jambs and trunk are the color.  Maybe the color faded, but it doesn't look like any other brown I've saw.

What year is your Challenger?  Do you have any pictures you could post?  You can always check you fender tag or buildsheet (if ya have one) for the paint code and we can help you find out what color it was originally.

What year? All of the above cars are FK5 - Burnt Orange except the R/T (probable clone) with the steelies.

Mine is a 73.  I have pics in the how much is it worth.  Under the 73 Challenger(had to have someone post pics for me sorry), but they aren't that good.  I'll get the fender tag and post it on here so you guys can tell me a bit more about my car. :thumbsup:

Heres the fender tag.
L25 L31 L21 R11 V5X ER2
VLX   U   B41 016 056 636
6X6A6X9 000 731 440482
 44  034  JH23  636 697962

Some of it was hard to read.  I do think it is the burnt orange now that I look at it harder.  I think the sun may have taken some of the brightness out of it.

Ok, I just went into mymopar.com and tried to decode that fender tag and half the stuff doesnt exist.  I think most of the stuff I read wrong, so I need to go back to where I have it stored after the winter storm is over and see if I can make some of it out a little better.

Cool :thumbsup: Let us know how you go.
I looked at your fender tag details and seen a lot of mistakes, so as soon as you find out let the rest of us know buddy. :woohoo:
