Hey folks I'm going to paint my 73 duster the color of this cuda as close as possible, and wondered if this is sassy grass green or lime light?
Is this cuda in sassy grass green?

This color really pops! Compared to other pictures of vehicles.
That would be sassy grass or something very similar

Ok I didn't know if it was one of those colors mixed with something or what.
i would call that FJ5 lime light
FJ5 lime light has more tint of yellow like this cuda but FJ6 Sassy Grass is more green and not quite as bright

That is sublime aka lime light.
I would have to disagree with you rani.
Unless the lighting is screwing with my eyes it looks much more like the first Cuda I posted.

I know words, I have the best words...
Its not a Cuda.
It's a Barracuda.

Regardless...one of Chryslers best high impact colors ever.
If the car is REALLY painted original color, it should be sublime/lime light green FJ5
Sassy Grass was the 1971 color.

How many is too many?
Both these cars were Lime Light Poly base coat...
you could get sassy grass after march of 70 so it was possible for a 70 to be painted in sassy grass. It was introduced mid-year as a special spring color at the same time FM3 panther pink came available.
Although quite rare, in general sassy grass is far more common in 71.
Yep, that's correct...

Just to feed the fire.
Green with envy. Came on the new generation of challengers. Has some metal flake and makes it pop

I had a 70Swinger in Moulin Rouge.I think in the Dodge line it was called PantherPink;same code.
Got it in grade 10. Yeah I took a lot of ribbing.Until they couldn't get past my tail lights! Hah!, Longest three years of my life. Couldn't wait to get outta highschool.
Man, if I just had it today in the shape I bought it in..........

The upper car (71 Cuda) is an Austrian Car and no good reference for the color, because it was painted some years ago and wore originally I think gold - inbetween it was in-violet....and the picture is heavily photoshopped also.
As I remember the 'original' high impact colors were never so bright as it looks in some newer pictures.
The AAR Cuda above looks right (and not so shiny...)

The difference of basecoat/clear coat..against original style single stage enamel is what you posted.Yes,there is a big difference.O. p's picture,definetly base clear coat. Those "duller shine,but brighter hue " pictures,are a dead match to my FJ5 lacquer and single stage acrylic enamel...So essentially,you're both right...
