This is a color photo I took of my 1968 Charger in March 1974. I'm sure it had the original paint. Back then, I was happy just to have a charger and a hood ornament.
I just snagged a project 68 H code Charger without tag or build sheet So would like to match the color to my 1st charger. It had bright blue interior.
Probably impossible to be 100% sure - strong opinions and guess work are welcome.
thanks

looks purple, not used on a 68, it could be QQ1 , or a darker of the blues

That was my 1st guess Bright blue - wishful thinking. My fading memory thinks darker - a medium or dark blue, faded by 6 years exposed to the New England weather.

Assuming that the vinyl top is whiter than what it appears and the wall is whiter than it appears, I color shifted the picture. To me it looks like really faded EE-1.

EE-1 is my guess as well.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

WOW... that is it! Be still my heart. That photo shopped copy... matches my memory to a tee. My photo lost its true color.. more dull than my memory. Definately an EE1 - Dark blue poly.
Thank you, That picture spoke
