Seems that just about every manufacture has a "Destroyer/Battleship Gray" now and it seems to be one of those love it or hate it colors like GREEN Mopars of the muscle car era. So I'm wondering if these Destroyer Gray/Grey cars will be loved or hated 40 or 50 years from now??

"Hey now that your car is in primer what color do you plan to paint it when it's dried"?

"F8 GREEN OF COURSE"


How could one not like F8 GREEN better than Destroyed Gray ?? Just me I guess, but Destroyer Gray is nice too and almost talked my son into buying a Destroyer Gray AWD Challenger GT a few month ago..........because they didn't have a F8 Challenger

I prefer green

That green looks great to me. The Gray is absolutely horrible. It really does look like a trailer park primer job with a clear coat over it. It is the liver and onions, the sardines, the buttermilk, the black licorice of the paint choices!

Me too.

Was close to pulling the trigger on a " Sting Grey" trackhawk near 2 years ago, absolutely love that color, right next to it was a red eye challenger in F8. Love that color too.

Want to see what I consider a modern day version of a high impact color? Find a dealership with a vehicle painted " Sangria", pictures do not give the effects that walking up to it does, just an amazing color.

If there had been a new Destroyer Grey Scatty available- I would have pulled the trigger on THAT vs the white one.

GREEN ? is ok but reminds me of Kermit da FROG !

I had considered THIS USED ONE off eBay ....

Green was a hugely popular color among all the manufacturers of the day. And not just on muscle cars--it was painted on many, many daily drivers, cheap cars, etc. It was part of the whole "earth tones" trend that took over our homes as well.

The "Battleship gray" is definitely a fad--but I see it very rarely on the roads and almost always on higher-end models.

If anything "silver" of today is the "green" of back then. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a silver/gray car these days.

Having spent 4 years on a destroyer, it doesn't both me and it's not really the same shade anyway.

IMO that "color" looks like modeling clay, dull drab and

Would much rather have F8 that pla blah gray...

I can live with F8 as long as the car isn't green inside and out. Destroyer Gray or whatever it's called is hideous.

I think its ok, but if they didnt limit the number of units made to that color id of made it a limited run of that color. Make it rare even if some find it ugly like some of the mopars of the past.

........and what wheels do you have picked out to replace the "winter" ones?

Double ugly there in that morbid color and cheap-looking wheels.

Not many variations on non-metallic greys. At least with green, there was a pretty decent range and while not my favorite, is certainly livable.

Agree with others that modern greys look like primer with clear coat on them. What's next flat black....oh wait.

What rims would look better? Ive noticed some are flat, some gloss. Seems the trend on many sports, higher end cars and even sport suv-s is the "black" rim. Better then the Foose years imo.

I think the R/T polished rims are the best ones, but while searching for pictures came across polished Demon rims............... At any rate nothing can make the tombstone color look any better.

I'd prefer any color (Even a darker shade) over the destroyer gray..It looks like primer

Grey should be so lucky !
I've seen some greys that have more green or blue, which I like better than the yellow/brown cast.
I kinda like that darker grey on current Jeeps.
But they all look a bit industrial, better suited to trucks.
Black wheels just look like cheap rattle-can fixes on garfed wheels.
They eliminate what should be a point of interest.

Bear in mind that I'm perfectly happy with triple green, which was common in '68-'70...
Regardless, I'm glad we all don't insist on the same thing.

Except yellow.

I tend to like the High Impact colors best.
F8 green I can tolerate, the wife absolutely hates it.

The Destroyer gray is at the top of my HATE list, It looks like clear coated primer.
