How can I tell what color my interior is? - 08/07/08 11:21 PM

I am trying to figure out what color my interior is. I have a 74 barracuda with a dark green interior. Some restoration sites have four different color options for green. Dark green, dark metallic green, jade green etc.I have the fender tag and bits of the build sheet. Thanks Guys.

f8 is the code for most of the colors you listed.
it should be on the fender tag as well as the buildsheet

My fender tag says;
R11 V5X 26 L2 172
G51 H51 L31 M21 M25 N76
EW1 U B41 C16 C56 G11
EW1 A6G6 000 B14 358305
E44 D34 BH23 G4B 204596

What do you think?I already used the fender tag decoder found on-line,no help there.
Thanks,
Chris.

Cool, thanks, do you think it is referred to as just"green"? When I'm ready to buy interior paint and new bucket covers, I'm going to have to pick. Thanks again,Chris.

The seat covers for a 74 Challenger should only be available in one shade of green. Check with Legendary...

If that doesn't work you could ask for color samples and try to match to your original if it isn't too faded.

Hi 318Stroker, haven't seen you around here in a while.)

All the interiors just had plain names like green or blue. That was the color of the seat vinyl. The paints used for dashes, etc. do have other names. I don't have them though. There's probably in the Cuda & Challenger Restoration Guide though that book has a lot of errors.

The dash paint is covered in the factory service manuals.

The dash and interior trim paint should be listed on the back of the Ditzler color chart for each year.
