In my 16 years here I've seen a lot of posts about the hate for green Mopars. I'm wondering if the hate is still there?

A green Mopar made me Mopar and I can't imagine owning one in any other color.

The Blue Beast had his opinion.

I restored one car in green and will never do it again.

When I first got into Mopars at age 16, the Mopar guys loved them all, there were no color hating Mopar guys.

Sadly a bad element has moved in.

Negative comments about colors for that loser crowd all the time.

They could gouge their eyes out OR learn to love Mopars of all colors.

Variety is wonderful. beer

Not sure people really hate them, but they don't attract the same level of interest. Gold, tan, beige ect. all in the same boat. You look on ebay and a pink or purple cuda will have lots of bidders and a boring colored one won't have as many people wanting it.

I like a good paint job more than the color I think. I'd rather have a green car with flawless smooth as glass paint than a red car full of waves and 80 grit sanding scratches.

For me it's a double edge sword. Not only do I like green, but I like 4 doors, well at least 1972 Coronets specifically. All 3 that I've owned have been green on green on green.

I really enjoy the resurgence of the F8 color on the new Dodges! A little tired of it on the old ones though.

Several of my Mopars have been green, even triple green.
(2 Chargers, a Road Runner, 2 Barracudas off the top of my head)
I think I've only owned two High Impact cars.

One gold with green guts and top.

One green with black guts and a gator top.

I love green. :-)

I enjoy all colors though, our eyes were made to see them all. :-)

Nothing but GREEN MOPAR LOVE here from me. I'm going to go out on a limb and bet that I am one of the very, very few (current member) that back in the late '60's (Spring of '69) sat down at my local Plymouth dealership and ORDERED a F5 Limelite GREEN Mopar as in a 1969 Road Runner. I did order it with a black bucket seat interior but the outside was GREEN for sure. Ordered the F5 RR because I couldn't get the local Dodge dealer to even investigate the rumor of the '69 M-Code 440 Dart while I was about to sit down with them to first order a 383 Dart GTS.......in GREEN with a black interior and black tail stripe. Had the '69 F5 GREEN Road Runner for 10+ years and later found and still have "one of the other hated colors" as you mentioned, a Spanish GOLD (Y4) A12 Lift-Off-Hood Road Runner. Then I had this '68 GREEN with GREEN interior RM23 Road Runner........AND found and have the car I really wanted back in '69 a GREEN M-CODE 440 DART GTS......so yes I do LOVE GREEN Mopars and currently trying to get my son into an F8 GREEN Challenger GT AWD...for some reason he's liking that F8 GREEN shruggy boogie wink Do you think just maybe it's a hereditary flaw confused wink grin

Put me in the Green car hater's club, seemed every Mopar back in the day was that horrid F8 (usually triple green) almost every Mopar that I bought back in the day to current was either some shade of Green, or turd brown or gold....and if it was a keeper, got a paint color change as the #1 priority, if you grew up in the 60-70s everything was green, brown or gold....much like today with everything, esp cars/trucks being black, white or silver.... I saw a new F8 Chubbenger the other day, it brought back those same green squeamish feelings of yesteryear....

Not a fan of most of the 60s/70s greens/browns/tans at all, but I do like some of the greens if the green is broken up with a black or white interior/top/stripe. I also like the high impact greens. Browns and tans, though, no thanks. Paint, tops, interiors, whatever the case may be. I'd never buy a car with those colors. puke

As far as calling people losers because they don't like certain colors... laugh2

Yeah, yeah I know...lol! I hate green cars yet I have one, not my choice, the "original" was F6 with J5 sublime stripes, so the clona' had to be F6/J5, at least it's the better of the greenies...lol!

Depends on the shade of green. I must admit I HATE F5 green, had quite a few 69 Darts that color, never again! OTOH, anything F6, F8, or Q5 variants are awesome!

I was never crazy about green, but when I saw my old RR conv restored, I liked it.

Put me in the "not a fan" camp. Back when I was looking for a Dart convertible in 1982 I passed on even making an offer on a '69 GTS convertible because it was triple green. Just couldn't do it...

There is an F3 1969 Roadrunner in MN with a white interior. Looks great! In fact, that's what I am painting mine when I get to it.
