I know its not an option, but..... i like b7 best. I really like all the blues, but b5 is common,b3 is rare.
On a blank canvas car where i could pick the blue, i would use b7 or b3.
(You could start a poll)
 
i bought a brand new '72 challenger in B7..yes it's darker and very nice as well!
 
Of those two, B5 but B7 will always be better.
 
i see ice blue on some paint codes.
Is it actually B3 depending on the year?
 
Codes and names changed from year to year. Heck dodge, plymouth and chrysler each called the same color and code by different names in the same year!
 
I have both a 71 340 clone b5 and a 71 twister b2 blue. I really like the b2 better

The twister is numbers matching and its the original color
 
I have always have been a fan of B5, Had a B5 AAR way back in the day, then a X9 AAR
 
That beast has got attitude! Been looking for a '64 for years and have finally given up.

Just a little attitude, stroker 500 inch, cross bolt main caps, diesel type compression, .700 inch Lunatti roller cam, ICH 440-1 heads (worked a bit) Diamond lite weight pistons, eagle rods, 850 cfm carbs, stock MW cross ram = 759 h.p. at 6500 rpm and 820 ft lbs of grunt at 5500 rpm

I wish I had never sold it!!!!

If your only choices are B3 or B5, go with B3. Seems like everybody and their brother, or sister, wants or has a B5 car. Has to be one of the most popular color choices when people paint their old Mopars. B3 is much less common but no less beautiful. B7 is also worth a consideration.
 
Here's what it's GONNA look like!

I've wanted a sublime green Cuda since I was a kid. ....

My '70 Swinger 340 is B5 blue with a B7 interior. I wish it had a white interior, but that's what I have Mine is also code V88, bumble bee stripe delete, so it look's different than the striped cars. There's a reason B5 blue was so popular, but preferences have changed. I still love any B5 blue Mopar with a white interior. No vinyl tops, please.
