Green car haters

Hello- First post here so be gentle...I have a green car for you to pick on if you want but I am techno-illiterate so you have to wait for pictures. Like I said it is green so what's the rush right? My car's birthday is March 19 and my goal is to get some pictures on here by then. I was going to join '69 registry but read the drama instead but in the meantime picked up some really good info here and wanted to be a part of it.
Future posts will be much shorter than this intro.
My Dad bought this car new. It is the first car I drove (in '72), he put 150k on it- I rolled it over to 200k in 2004ish. It is a numbers matching, never wrecked 2 owner car. My father & myself. He gave it to me as a wedding gift.
!!!!!THANKS DAD!!!!!
It has had 1 engine overhaul (MILD, future topic) and 1 repaint in '87. I went through car A few years ago and been driving it every chance I can since!
The poor thing is a 20 footer from road rash so I think the old girl deserves some fresh make-up this spring.
Here is what the fender tag looks like:

I look forward to many pleasant exchanges, Thanks!

Welcome!

The pics can be hosted here if they are under 200kb each and a unique name - of all the pics ever uploaded to this site, so mash the keyboard for a unique name.  Or host them on Photobucket or another free hosting site and post the link here.

I think for many of us it's the triple greens and green interiors that are a bit much.  But, hey, at least you have a white top!  I look forward to pics.   :2thumbs:

Hey...Me too, sorta.
Mine started out either F8 or F7. Back in 2001 I lost the fender tag. I didn't think it was that important at the time!   :brickwall:

Welcome BDF.....

I have grown to appreciate the green cars. One that is well preserved is a great time capsule as to how SO many of these cars were built back then. How often do you see ANY new cars with color coded interiors anymore? Most seem to be  variation of black, gray or tan. Some of our cars came with white interiors! Some looked like a homage to Halloween with an orange and black seat combination. WHuuuuuuTT ????

IMO F6 green is one of the nicest colors on a 2nd gen charger

BDF

Thanks all-
F-6 IS my favorite!
I have read the help topics here pretty well & do NOT (don't call BS!) have a 'puter at home and am using iphone.
I can use a friends computer but is there anyway to do something like email pics to this site? My phone will downsize them small enough. I am using a company phone and can not download apps.
In the meantime I WILL review the help topics & experiment. Most likely to be booted off for screwing something up.
Later. I hope...
If I need more help I will ask for some in appropriate spot.

PS: I've gotten used to the F-8 interior over the last 40 some years!

It's a beautiful car he has...

Holy cow, that is nice. Very unusual too.   :2thumbs:

For any of these cars to have survived for almost 50-years now is something of a minor miracle. Green, black, blue or other, the fact that they still roll down our roads is a testament to somebody's care and hard work along the way.  Ugly cars don't last anywhere near that long, certainly not in any numbers. These 2nd generation cars are as much art as they are wheels and that art has a lot to do with why many of them are still with us.

we green car (F3, F4, F5, F8) owners hate F6 - "bright green metallic" because we wish our cars were "that GREEN!"  :2thumbs:

BDF

Thank for posting that Johnnycharger, appreciate it!
Yes, that is one of my family's jewels...
I had no idea how great this site would be. Like some great big disfunctional family.
I've already had occasion to interact with Kern Dog.
I am aware that grammer & punctuation are highly regarded on this site.
However, mistakes will be mDe.
Johnnycharger and I are gonna cruise this summer because we DRIVE ours!

BDF

VegasCharger- Thanks for the offer!
I'll take you up on it, stay tuned.
Thanks everyone!

How many people are restoring a 1969 Toyota Corona? A Fiat Strada? A Ford Maverick...? :lol:
