The black was applied over the red after the car came out of paint.
Scorch ....... ? Is that the name you gave your car ....?
In 69 R6 on a Chrysler was "crimson", on a Dodge it was "Scorch" and Plymouth was "Bright Red".
My car did not have the original radiator support when I got it. It had been replaced because of a front end collision early in its life. So, I can't tell you if it had been painted black or not.
Even if it had not been black to begin with, I wanted it "blacked out" so the brown would not be visible. It's one of those things that I notice on other cars.... and my OCD would not allow me to do otherwise.

Ya I know that R6 on a Chrysler is "Crimson" but Scorch seemed to suit it.....im pretty sure it's gonna burn me one day....

actually, I know Plymouth was "Scorch Red" because that's what my GTX is. See link

You could have just said "that's what they called it in Canada" and everyone would just say "Oh... OK".Ya I know that R6 on a Chrysler is "Bright Red" but Scorch seemed to suit it.....im pretty sure it's gonna burn me one day....

ALL Mopars......... And all series. Most were blacked out but a few slid through without. Probably a AFL-CIO thing, break, lunch, not my job, etc.

This car looks worthwhile to me, being a TNT car, but should have an up-close knowledgable inspection underside. In the ebay trunk pic I think I see a hole, just outboard of the pass-side framerail's spotwelds, about 1/2-way up the rear axle kickup. The car has some flaws I'm sure, but it looks solid enough for many years of service, and pretty enough that the average Joe will be wowed by it. Based on the flaws, and the kinda grungy interior, I don't think I'd go more than ~10-12k for it -- higher $$ is for more pristine cars.
And 3 boxes of Champion sparkplugs is in NO WAY any kind of enticement to me.

I agree, interior looks like 125k miles. From my experience, creamy Go-Jo hand cleaner is an excellent cleaner for vinyl like that.
Yep, some surely slipped out. If you ever want to get in a hearted discussion, find a nicely-restored car on Moparts that isn't blacked out and ask why - then stand back and watch the fireworks!

hey there, I'm here, and I like it, but can't do it. if youi remember this is the one I had an inspector look at and took about 8 photos and charged me way too much for that. I suspect it's changed owners since. I was thinking those origianal photo I sent did put the underneath into question, but I'll have to look again. but the one underneath photo looks pretty good. It's very tempting for sure

one other factor, is I just like the 69 much better, and not a fan of bumper guards, but considering it's red and white and TNT, I suppose those are small potatoes...

finally found the thread. take a look at these few underneaths and see if you think this guy (flipper?) may have done a some "cleaning" up of the underneath (may be hard to tell I know.)
For Sale - anybody in London, ON that can take a look at a car for me?

and red or not, I did get a bit inspired when i came across this one yesterday via Google.
it has a youtube video with it too. Not sure if this is T7 bronze or not. Also, i know mine looks like its quite a few shades darker as far as matching the original T7.
(Gary is working hard on mine now, and it's much appreciated)
Another small detail, but I really like those earlier wheels with the extended caps. I have another set but they are not perfect.
