I am restoring a 1968 GTX matching motor, matching trans, no build sheet or fender tag. Not worried about those things because it does have a matching numbers 440 and an 18 spline hemi trans which is also matching numbers. Here is the problem, we want to put this car back to original color but we can't tell what color it is! Here are a couple pictures of areas of the car, one looks turquoise the other looks blue. The turquoise is from the cowl and the blue is from the trunk.....anyone have any ideas?! I know the colors can be deceiving but the color in the trunk does seem to have a blue green hue to it, the one on the cowl is definatley turquoise in my opinion.

Paint code K - "mist turquoise metallic" was a c-body ONLY color in '68. Here's a Charger with original tired & worn L - "surf turquoise metallic" (again Plymouth speak).

If you plan to remove the windshield (A new gasket is a good idea) the paint under the old gasket should be pristine...

Paint codes for 1968 were a single letter. I bet all you guys that refer to paint codes like "UU1" say "dual field" alternator, too.
Down to just a blue car now.
