Any EE1 Dark Blue '68 Darts out there??? - 05/24/16 11:47 PM

Can't find any using the google image search. I understand that the color is not too common, but all i can find are B and C body cars, which makes me wonder if EE1 was even an option for A-bodies that year. Regardless, the Dart (originally Sunfire Yellow) is about to be painted and that's the color I'm going with. I would like to see what a Dart looks like in EE1.

I have a 68 Dart that was that color, but it has been in primer ever since I owned it. I will be interested in seeing one also! scope

Jeff sorry it took so long to answer I didn't see the post. From what I've been told that once a number is given to a color it never changes and you should be able to have it mixed in any type of paint you want. So even if they call it the same color year to year the number can change and the color will be different.

I hope to see you guys again this year at drag week and maybe Joel can convince me my hemi was worth the extra money over a stroked 400. Lol

Joel and I will be at Drag Week again. He is going to bring his F.A.S.T. Legal '67 GTX this year. We installed CalTracs and mono leafs to utilize the require slicks for DW.

Thanks again for the EE1 info. Have been searching for years to find the correct code.

Update...The car has been at painter's shop for almost a year. He did the final sanding and has started on the paint. Using the codes provided by the local paint shop, the color has turned out really good. Final judgement will be when it's viewed in sunlight. Can't wait to see it finished.

E1 is one of my favorite Mopar colors; looks great on pretty much anything...

Thanks, Mike...looks a whole lot better than yellow. Tommy did not paint it. A guy who has been painting for 35 years took on the job. I'll PM his name. He asked for 2 months to final sand and paint. Took longer because of his father passing, but I understood and didn't mind waiting. I had to get moved and update the house to sell anyway.

It does. I like that wagon and have it saved along with other EE1 cars, such as this '65 Coronet...

Hey Jeff now that you're hanging with the super shifters we might see you at our local track in Havana, Il they usually come at least twice a year. They have some fast and nice cars.

E1 seems to be a fairly uncommon color.
I built a 68 Charger RT for a friend of ours that was originally E1,

He was seriously thinking change it to Q1 , utill I did a spray out of the 2 colors .
Once done he was glad he stayed with the original color

Done!! Picked it up over a week ago but haven't yet been able to begin putting it back together. Looks like the driver's door needs a slight adjustment, but I'll worry about that later.
The painter has been in the trade for 35 yrs...he knows how to buff out a shine like nobody else
