That's what I thought, thank you. Nice car by the way, what size rear tire is that. Stock wheelwells and spring location?

Would the formula for 67 be the same?

The rear tires are 275/60-15" M-T drag radials on 15" X 8" rims I had made, 3 1/4" BS, stock spring location, 2" higher Espo's SS springs.

The '67 shade of turquoise is darker.

Thank you, I'm building a 67 for a body and unclear on the tire combo we want.

The 275's come close to the leading edge of the rockers. I ripped off my L/S rocker gill giving my 15 yr old nephew a "ride" one evening.

That's what I was thinking, that the 67 LL1 is a darker/different shade.
My car is LL1 Dark Turquoise and still has the original factory paint.

And in '69 it got even lighter, and by '70 it disappeared....

Q5 was in 69, then came back in 71!

Stand corrected! But I do know the `68 LL1 is a one-year color, allegedly second rarest next to Turbine Bronze, or so I heard. Whatever, people love the color at whatever show I'm at, not just the Mopar crowd.

Then you know how it stands out in a crowd…


Aside from having an un-common body style, the color pulls people in like a fishing hook. In my opinion the color compliments the lines of my Fastback nicely, yet not making it too "pretty" the way some colors can look. When looking for a project car and I found this, I was really happy to see the original color was so unusual.

The car has 18,800 miles on it, it was a 273 powered unrestored survivor.
Now it's an unrestored body that has a Hemi in it.

The only place on the car that has had any paint work done is the front part of the LF fender.
If you look close you can see a blend line going up from the front part of the wheel well opening.
Apparently it had a fender bender years ago and they blended it with lacquer paint (from what I can tell).
Most people don't even notice it, but of course I do.

The blend just looks like a shadow, it is a beautiful car that's for sure.
