Thermal cycles can change paint color just like oil and fuel will. Colors look different to different people, and yes Mopar didn't care.

That is my point. Ma Mopar doesn't know them self. So to say someone is wrong is incorrect. It has to be an UNTOUCHED car, that is the only way you would know for sure. But if you restore it you maybe wrong. It's a catch 22. It's only original once. After that it was what the company sells you...

The problem is we can not tell for sure what engine/car combo they would have come from. I'm sure you have them and they have the OEM paint but they have been removed and the vehicle is long gone. This is where the guessing starts. Engine color will always be WHAT it came with, from the factory...

The Mopar Performance dealer catalog from 1993. These P/N have changed many times and I know some of them are wrong. So good luck

Our memories fade like the paint did. Agreed, but this all started over a chart that was posted. There are many discrepancies in every one I have ever seen. You just never know unless the car has never been touched. Most have been rebuilt many times by now. Hell even the few people that are...

That's funny because that is why I remember my brothers 340 so well. I too had to change the water pump for leaking and when I painted it the color was not even close. But being dumb kids we put it on and went out and burned the tires off it some more. Didn't care it wasn't the right color just...

I like that color the best. Just painted my 360 that color :-)

The Little Red Express Truck engine color was between that Ford blue and turquoise. Just depended on who mixed the paint I think? Crazy!

I can believe that. I have seen that as well. I do remember a color change where they added an "AB" to the end of the part number. Don't think they were ever mixed the same way twice!

Sometimes I think it was what ever was in the gun at the plant that built the engine. I have seen so many different colors over the years. Ma Mopar didn't care they where just building cars and making money. I know I have never seen a chart that was correct. Plus they supersede part numbers and...

Colors will always be a guess for the most part. My brother bought a 1970 340 Duster brand new. But he ordered it in 1969. The engine in that car was red. Everyone always said it was not factory but we new damn well it was. If the car has never been touched... you never know what you might find.
