Here's one similar, (71 Bee) I know this vehicles in Conn. If the owner sees this, drop me a line; Great looking car. I've seen GA4 look kinda like this, but lighter gray. If not GA4, could it be GA8 - Dark Gunmetal Poly?? I've seen a pic of Tim Wellborn's(?)at Carlisle(?) and the pic looked dull, flat, plain grey. But, Another pic of the same car looks nice/blueish...? Guess I gotta spend the money and have a pint of paint mixed up. Someone mentioned Roger Gibson's comment that it's a difficult color to mix correctly. Any Tips for the paint shop? Any special primers/ tints before applying? Thanks to all.

Paint code = GA4, Dodge name = Light Gunmetal Metalic, Plymouth name = Winchester Gray
Looks greenish-gray or blueish-gray depending on the light, according to Rodger Gibson one of the hardest colors to mix correctly to get it 'right'.
Btw...my favorite color!

I believe the GA8 was a c-body only color in '71 ... ... all of the Chargers in this thread are GA4, light & the amount of it change the color drastically. The one for sale in Texas, use to belong to a member here before its "restoration".

QUOTE: I believe the GA8 was a c-body only color in '71 ... As near as I can tell, in 71 GA8 was Slate Gray Poly for plymouth & chrysler, Dark Gunmetal Poly for dodge. And you're probably right, the cars above seem to all be GA4 Lt. Gunmetal Poly; gotta love these digital cameras.

That used to be my Charger.I love the color. My second 71 Charger, Winchester. The guy that bought it did most of the restoration himself, I believe. I wish I could've kept that one.. Here is where I got it from, on Thanksgiving day.
Oops, I "saved" selling two things off of it. 6 way and 3:55 chunk !!
