Looks nice. Im not expert but if one had a fat wallet it might save a lot of time and headaches. I know many who are older who wont even let there cars go to paint jail, they are afraid they might die before getting it back.

I'm not sure why a car in KS would be advertised in CO, but maybe he's casting a wide net...

Sure is a pretty car, and Hemi/727/A32 can't be a common drivetrain.
And for the green haters, I really like triple green; I've had 3 or 4 through the years. So there laugh2

Trust me, not a lot in Kansas for exposure vs a large city like Denver. If I want to get exposure I also use Denver.

Way back I had a 69 RR that was green, liked it so much I painted my KZ900 the same color. Dont know where all the bad feelings for green come from.

I think it starts with the old line about “the only thing that should be green is the grass and your money.”

I suppose that’s a fair ask on that car. That included enclosed shipping could be worth a couple grand as well. It’s at least being sold by a mopar guy, that ad is correctly done and shows it’s not some Chevy dealer [censored].

Green, fine. Triple green? Barf. Get a black or white top on there, or just no vinyl top at all. Get a black or white interior in there. Something, anything, to break up the green. On this car, the hood helps. Great car regardless.

No exception for a super cool car as the way it was built?

Must be a decent car to many if the main issue is just over color.

Not sure when the green hate began either but must've been popular at one time. So many seem to pop up. Personally I don't mind em,
sure would be proud to own or be seen in this example. In the motorcycle community green is considered bad luck, seems I heard
something about a green chariot that was tied to disaster or death in the Bible? Like I said I like this one but not so much the price.

In the '68-'70 era, at least in SoCal, green was hugely popular, and I recall numerous single/double/triple green Mopars being out & about.
Hugely popular among GM & Ford products at the time as well.
That's How It Was.
So for me, that's almost an "official color", and a pleasant & nostalgic thing to see.

Back in the day, though, green race cars were considered bad luck, as was eating peanuts at the track, and all manner of things since debunked.
I'm old enough to remember when Corvette-bodied Funny Cars were thought by some to be an invitation to disaster.
Superstition has been a thing for centuries.

I’ve had people tell me they want a bright color on their toy. At least that’s why people would walk up and tell me they hated my white road runner, which is still my all time favorite color. I’m sure since so many of these things came green, that same logic applies.


I want my fair share

Either is fine (to say the least) by me, though in my lottery-winning daydream, I'd prefer the F8 with no VT.

But now, besides invoking the wrath of the green-haters, you've invoked the steelie-haters as well laugh2 !

Yep, this is a 3x win here. Some excellent examples of mopars finest showing up. Thank you to all who posted the pics! When I bought my FE5 70 V code cuda in 85 the guy had a 70 GTX 440-6 in the lighter green like the cuda posted here next to it as well for sale but wanted 1k more (6500) then I paid for the cuda (5500) and I could not swing both however im glad I did not as the GTX spun a bearing on the way home with the new owner driving.

Nice machine.

"only 21,000 miles showing"

That thing is nice! A black vinyl top would look much better IMO, but that's a seriously nice car.
