Top Banana FY1 vs curious yellow FY3
« on: July 18, 2011 - 03:28:03 PM »
What is the difference between these two?
I've looked at older posts but can'T find a pics of top banana.
Just bought my first barracuda and seller said it was FY3 but a guy I know tells me it's FY1.
In the sunlight it's bright yellow but in my garage its a shade of yellowish green. Is it FY3??
This guy tells me FY3 looks greenish even in the sunlight.
Please post pictures if you have them.
And yes, I know I have a FORD VIAGRA nascar hood (table) on the wall for everyone to see!
Thanks
JS

Here is a Challenger color chart that may help show the difference.

Here's my Top Banana. In the garage it looks darker, but outside it appears to be a lighter yellow.

does it have the tag on the top of the inner fender, drivers side?  Only useful if this is the original color

It is FY3. Mine is exactly the way you describe - greenish tinge in the dark, felt pen yellow outside in the sun
