Color breakdown for 68 RR -Is there one? - 01/21/09 10:58 PM

I know KissAlien posted a nice breakdown for 70 Challenger as to how were made in each available color.
Is this information available for the 68 RR?

What colors were available for the 68 RR?

Not sure about the correct numbers, but I would guess every other one was some shade of green.

This information was not available till 1970. I can think of a few exceptions:

- Darrell Davis's research on Max Wedges and any other cars he does in the future (I believe there's 1967 stuff out there in Hamtramck). This involves going through each manifest sheet, versus the usual percentages that were recorded starting in 1970.

- Any car from numerous years that had the buffed silver option.

I know one for sure was PP1

PPG paint code 71483

Plymouth = Matador Red
Dodge = Red
Chrysler = Scorch Red
Imperial = Flame Red

And I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night.

I decided to leave right after they kicked me out.
