That's my car....that's 100% original paint on the engine.....the negative cables WERE installed on the engine when painted....as evidenced by the lack of paint on the valve cover where the cable layed accross. That is an Oregon car....for some reason every car I have ever bought that was from there are super clean and rust free.......you should see the bottom of this thing. Scott - yes lot's of cleaning and degreasing etc - but the car is a gem. Concerning the blue engine.....It is a late build if that has any bearing....June 25th. I remember the orange motored Dart that went through OE a few years back.....I still am unconvinced about that one.

I don't know if Frank makes a standard blue but if he does it's probably right on the money. In your case you might consider going to the paint store with an original sample for a color match, get it mixed in single stage PPG Delstar DAR Acrylic Enamel.

There is always the "never say never" with any Chrysler product, but once again a very late built car. I have seen a 69 Swinger 340 with bucket seats, fender turn signals, and rocker moldings that was a July built car and those options were not available on Swinger 340's. Could a few examples have been painted blue because turquoise was being phased out? Probably, but the vast MAJORITY were painted turquoise and Chrysler documentation still TRUMPS a few examples found in the wild... Can anyone find any TSB's that show a late-year switch to blue? I certainly haven't.

Rocker mouldings and turn indicators were available on 340 69 Swingers. My own 69 was a dealer demonstrator, highly optioned car and had both of those options. Original paint car with Build sheet
