Hello all,

Rebuilding a 68 GTS Big Block 4 Sp which of course comes with the turquoise motor color.

Resisting the temptation to paint in hemi orange especially since the exterior is FF1 (lite green metalic)

Intend the car to be better than a driver but not a concours trailer queen.

Will enter some local shows......maybe regional.....Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Greg
 
I like the hemi orange too, but I stuck with the correct turquoise in my 68 GTX and I am very happy.
 
My 68 340 4 spd GTS was Red. All LA motors in 68 were red. B and RB's Turquoise. Hemis were Orange."AKA Hemi Orange" Just what I remember from 68's I owned. I believe the Slants were also Red
 
Sorry to add to the confusion, but I thought big blocks are supposed to be red or black.

I, personally, like the MoPar blue in just about any color body.
 
Black! ? I never saw a mopar motor black in 68.

Now my 71 Duster below is all original under the hood. and It came with a black motor. It is a special mix black.

This car is all numbers matching. The vin tag , The regitration , And the licence plate. I was just pulled over and they confirmed all my info is correct. And I have several citations to prove that.
