Man, you guys are great. The color is stock mopar Autumn Bronze, and yeah, it's a cool color and not that common. (I did see and take a picture of a real AAR in that color at Carlisle last month though!). The car is going to need a new paint job, there are chips and the body work was not done right, really shows in the engine compartment. I've always just thought that the "Impact" colors did such a great job of showing off the e-bodies, so it seemed like I should go with an impact color....you know....the whole "life-size hot wheel" thing that make the ebods so cool to begin with. As this is not a stock/matching car never can be (originally a 318), it seems the right path to take it on is a resto-mod strategy, which perhaps should cause me to consider other non-stock colors. Anyone seen House of Kolor Tangerine Pearl? That with an AAR Theme!
Thank you guys for the kind welcome, the ebody is a dream car for us, always been my favorite, and I really am looking to do this right. I will take some more pics as soon as I change the spoiler out. The interior is in very good shape, was redone not too long ago. Speedo reads about 20MPH too high, gas gauge doesn't ever go to empty (empty reads about 1/3 full), and lots of other little issues need to be addressed. But boy, we love it and really really enjoy it. I've got 2 twin boys, 10 years old and the whole idea was to approach this together. They already know it's "their car"!

When I post more pics, should I do them here or in the pics section?
