R6 red on a '70 Swinger?

[1MeanA]

I see this as a '70 Dodge color. Were Swingers available in this color? I don't think I can bring myself to paint my car its original FY1 top banana and I'm trying to stick to a factory color. FE5 Rallye red is the other choice.

I do like the R6 myself.

Looks like it was a Dart color option in ‘70

Original paint R6…

Doesn't look like R6 was available in 1970 Darts. Not sure if it was available in any 1970 vehicle. FE5 replaced it.

I think the aftermarket paint company chip charts aren't super accurate on applications.

I haven't been able to find any pics of a Dart in that color so you may be right.

I googled R6 Dart. There was probably a hundred of photos of 69's but no 70's.

Available colors will usually show on back of the dealer brochure's. Except for mid year introductions (FM3 & FJ6 in 1970).

No R6.
