The only thing I have left to identify the right carpet color for my car are the pics below and the following ACC color codes: 08 Dark Green 14 Moss Green 30 Dark Olive Green Which one do I have?

At this point I'd say you need to add "dirty, weathered, 50 year old Green" to your list of colors. I would guess 08 dark green but that's just a guess. Nice GREEN Road Runner, looks like an early '69 model year build, love GREEN RR's and GREEN Mopar's too. That's very nice with the white interior Is that F8 or F5?

The exterior is an old faded re-shoot of F5. Does the F8 on the fender tag apply to the carpet?

It was also a RM23 hardtop with a black interior, and bucket seats, console and 727............and 3.91 Suregrip Mike

It's encouraging words like this that's timely. I've been having a hard time with this car lately. Getting quality body work done is elusive at best especially with budget restraints. This hobby isn't like it used to be twenty years ago when I did my last car. So, fed up and discouraged I decided to put the car back together and get it running. It's been 17-years that I've owned it and have never heard it run. That may be the thing that saves me from sending it down the road... Note: The Gragars and BFGs aren't mine...

The Dark Olive Green was the closer of the two. Dark Green ----------------------------------- Dark Olive Green Last edited by David1971; 05/27/19 01:20 AM.

The dark olive green was a perfect match for my 70 GTX, the dark green was too blue, but as stated, may not be correct for a 1969. Tip: if you have a center console, order a little extra to cover the sides. 1971 Cuda 340 auto 2013 Mustang Boss 302 L/S 1969 Road Runner RM21 440 4 speed
