Does anyone have a Satin Beige XX1 68 Barracuda?

[Stumpy]

So the Barracuda fastback I'm fixing up is a factory XX1 Satin Beige with an H6V interior that was repainted Burgundy Metallic.

I was noodling with the idea of repainting it original color but it would be a royal pain to do it.

I'm interested in seeing what that color looks like but I've only found one bad photo of a notchback.

Any FABO members have one?

That was the bad photo of a notchback I mentioned. I was hoping a member has one.

I've never seen one in that color.

That notchback looks sweet and the photo is good.

I painted the engine compartment on my 68 Cuda to the factory gold using paint from this company.
Just tell them your Mopar paint number and he will mix it up in cans or quarts. And it is DEAD ON.

I've never seen this colour either on a barracuda, but I remember a Valiant four door wearing it. Definitely stealth. Except for the red interior. Interesting choice is all I will say

Here are some pics of my XX1 H6R 68 Barracuda for reference.
I have never seen another with this color combination and I think the interior/exterior colors go together quite well.

Beautiful. And I gotta admit that the red interior looks good. Might have been the black door panels and carpet on the above one made it look too busy

Wow! Perfect! That car is REALLY nice. I like that color combo.

That's exactly what mine was like out of the factory except seats and door panels were white.

Right now I'm leaning towards your interior with Maroon Seats.

Did you have to recover the seats or paint the interior? I'm currently researching paint colors for the interior repaint. Dash Paint, plastic and upper doors all look different to me.

Beige car with white seats yuck. Def should go with the red interior. My 69 dart came beige with light green interior.

That car has a cool story

You need to ask 68original himself

<shrug> I have an ivory dart with white seats and it's the best looking interior I've ever seen in any early Dart.

It's the maroon and white that isn't doing it for me.

That 65 Dart interior looks nice for sure.

My 68 Formula S was XX1 originally, sorry no pictures, with a black deluxe interior. It is now Mist Green Poly, FF1, with a black and white deluxe interior.

The car is a true all original unrestored survivor. It has 8 miles on the odometer. Still in original dealership name, never registered or licensed.

WOW!

Can you confirm that the color on the upper door panels and on the A pillar plastic is a different red than the dash pad and dash metal?

This beige 340 Formula S vert was at the 1985 Mopar Nationals.

All of those pieces are going to have different hues regardless of all being used in maroon interior. Dash paint is different finish than door paint and plastic is only so close, but it's all burgundy/maroon. I may have more pics.

For my photo file. This car is a time capsule. It is stunning! It even smells new! If your computer ever crashes I have a few photos.
