nope, sassy grass is green go, and I agree if youre going to do a quality resto mod or whatever they call it on tv, you should go with whatever color you like, preferably one that is also desirable to mopar nuts. That way if you ever do sell it will sell easier.

btw I just read I think in hot rod mag that brown is now a hot classic car color, maybe partly because of the foose cuda? Yuck. I dont like brown on a car.

I lean toward keeping the original color combo, especially being a 340 car.  But at the end of the day,its your car, so paint it as you like!  i always like seeing something other than the usual suspects at a Mopar show.  It's the car thats NOT rallye red, hemi orange, etc that i like to go look at, but that's just me.  i guess i am saying i like to see something that stands out from the crowd.  Good Luck!

nope, sassy grass is green go,

 :iagree:  Sassy Grass has alittle darker green shade to it, a little.  I kinda like it on the late 60's B-bodies.

  I didnt realise that Dodge and Plymouth gave the same colors a different name  (mines FJ5....limelight or sublime)   :clueless:

 :bananasmi   It is always great to hear that one of us is getting another car the more the merryer :dogpile: Well I have a 71 covertible numbers matching green/white interior/white top. I hated it so now is B5 blue/black interior/black top and it looks 100% better to my liking so you go what ever makes you happy thats what I think.
