We're all 273s 64-69 all painted Red? 2 barrel and 4 barrels. Thanks Dustin

64-68 for sure. I have seen 69 listed as blue on some charts. I used Dupli Color Chrysler Industrial Red on mine. The distributor is the original paint. The oil pan is the Dupli Color.

My 69 convertible with the 273 2-bbl was blue, not turquoise or corporate blue...

That red is still my second favorite engine color.

Just sexy…

I have original paint on some parts of my 67 273 that are the same "Red" (looks orange to me) as your dist. I assume over time the red pigment faded and other pigments remained making it look orange?

MyMopar.com says 64-69 273 all were red (P4349218) P4349218 - Genuine Mopar Paint-Engine

Yep. It fades with heat and time. It is a little orange colored. Not fire engine red for sure. The Galen book says blue for 69.

I figured they were all red. Watching dead dodge garage on YouTube he was saying that some were orange and some were red. I said no that's red that's been faded. But he thinks he's always right.
