neither was being sarcastic    sorry



No worries, I only said something because my R/T is "supposed" to be F8 Green.  As you can see, it is anything but that color at the moment.  I keep telling my wife that F8 was considered a very stylish color back in 1969, and she points to the calendar as if to say "It ain't 1969."




moparstuart

  i like the color of yours now      green was popular back then and a heck of alot of them where green
      and i know your a numbers guy     but I like it now and it will loook better next to the daytona  ha ha ha

Gene, your still trying to make it sound like you really want to paint your car F8 green. Come on you can be honest with us here, you want to leave it V2 right?  :nana:

hemigeno

You're right, I would prefer V2 even with the obvious "Yee Haw" connection.  However, at least right now I can blame a previoius owner for the color change.  That keeps the rabid numbers guys (lots of whom are way more dogmatic about things than I am) at bay.

There's something else to consider here though -- my wife hates F8 Green.  So, if I paint the car back F8, she'll be more likely to approve swapping out this one for a different car.  There is a guy from Canada that has an awesome R4 4-speed '69 HemiCharger which would look even better than my current R/T when parked next to the Daytona.  Been trying to talk him into selling that car to me for a couple of years now.  If that falls through, she might even go for upgrading to a second Daytona.  Guess I can't play the color card and then go after this F8 HemiDaytona then, eh?

It's not the same car -- maybe I should be asking you where the one in Ontario is...   :icon_smile_big:

Here's more obscure history that no one cares about.  The green Hemi Daytona was originally owned by an English teacher at my old high school in Scottsdale Az.  At the time the car had a 70 charger front end on it and a dealer installed white top.  Since there was no air and its REALLY HOT here, the white top was probably installed to help the interior stay a little cooler.  She sold the car the year before I started high school ('77)  to a local politician.  He died unexpectedly in his early 40's from a heart attack.  The car then went to Jay S. up in Denver.

If your refering to Gene's truck then V2 doesn't go with it. As the truck is painted R4 red.

Hey now Gene you can't go talking all crazy like and saying you want 2 wing cars. Leave some out there for me and Troy.

moparstuart

two's ok  but those horders with three and 4 that need to stop ha ha ha I know several

I know its a different color but it still looks good on the truck :yesnod:  :2thumbs: I have seen the truck in person, but I have not seen the charger but he told me they were different colors at the time.

I guess I shouldn't say much due to family ties. heck when I was 10 I thought everyone had a yard full of wing cars. If a person didn't have at least 4 we didn't go visit them.

Have no fear, that's not very likely to happen.  I'd have to:
1.  Get done with the Daytona restoration 
2.  Recover from that financial drain 
3.  Spend a commensurate amount on things that my wife & rest of the family have an interest in
4.  Actually start a restoration on the R/T
5.  Have the car in F8 trim around long enough that my wife would get tired of looking at it
6.  Lobby for the winged upgrade
7.  Find either an outright buyer for the R/T or someone who wanted to work out a partial trade for a 2nd Daytona

Not a very likely scenario, and the odds pale in comparison to those of Troy's or yours.  It never hurts to dream though, does it?

Lincoln, the two colors (R4 & V2) go together better than R6 and V2 would...  The truck's original color was much closer to R6 than R4 (it might have even been a little darker than R6), but I wanted the truck to match the Daytona.  If I'd have painted the truck V2, everyone would have assumed it was an old Highway Department truck!  Now that we have taken this thread WAY off course... 


A 4-speed HemiDaytona looks good in any color IMHO.
