Sorry, gotta disagree with the "mid-year color". My first Mopar was a '69 Dart Swinger that I bought used in November 1969. It was only a couple of months off of the new car lot. The original owner was going into the Navy and his parents wouldn't keep up the payment for him.
Rani, you're right, it's a fantastic color. If it only had the black vinyl top it would look more "orange". And with only the white stripe, like mine was, it would look more "red".
Great find!
I still miss my old Dart. Unfortunately, I got stupid years ago and turned mine into a race car. Then got stupider and sold it. Would have been a fantastic car to put back on the street.
I still have the fender tag from my old Dart - showing the R4 paint code - the race car had a completely removable front fenders and hood.
My current '69 Dart project is a direct result of my memories of my old Dart.
Keep us posted on your progress!
