oh ya the other 67 300 rag
That's purdy, Rex, but it's not a factory color, is it? Do you know what it is?
Here's a couple raggedy comparo's for ya........
Can you guess which project was the project replacement??

I am fairly certain that it is LL1 - dark turquoise poly. I say that because it is one of the colours I looked at for my 300.

That looks like 65 K code color. Medium Turquoise Metallic?? It could be darker though.... I'm looking at my paint code sheet for 65. I could be wrong.

What your not building two of them...... got to save them all....
But realistically, I have been considering side skirts on my 65 and your picture and Rexers picture might be swaying me have a set painted just incase i want to put them on....
On another note
Do you happen to have a extra set of side trim for the two door convertible hanging around? My car doesn't have any of it.
Yeah, right. Those skinny little 8 foot long moldings haven't survived the years all that well and are quite difficult to find. Even the doors aren't easy and they're only half as long. Front fender pieces are a dime a dozen (comparatively).

You're very close. It's Dark Turquoise Metallic. It's the factory color

Mike, it's Dark Turquoise Metallic which is the factory color but it's sometimes hard to tell in pictures. I can't wait to see your finished product on the convertible. It looks like the body is in really good shape on the new rag top. How's the motor?
I think that's the first one I've seen in that color, or at least the first one that still had any shine to it and it looks way different than the little chips on the card. Mine's that baby blue but the wifegod is pushing for a darker hue when I get that far. Yeah, the body is near perfect but for a few minor bumps and bruises but for a car that got driven a fair bit it's excellent. Mechanically it's pretty much toast, I'm still trying to make up my mind whether to do a 383 or dig out the 413, have gotten to be reasonably sure I'm not gonna switch it to a 4 speed though.......
mr. fix it

The quad headlight system and grill of the 64 are my favourite. Had a 69 Fargo Camper Special w/318 at one time. Still miss that truck.

rexer , i ran a hot solid cammed , headered , iron headed 383 with twin fours , and then hotter hyd cam with a six pack . under the hood . but its going to go 426 with a 4spd , its a costly change over to the stick in my 65 880 rag , putting 66 300 bucket seats with a hurst shifter lever coming through the floor hump . but i'm more hodrodder then most . oh ya make sure what your 413 has the mounting bracket bosses on the drivers front of the block for the motor mount . some don't have them drilled n tapped .

'' dad '' why didn't you drive around to the top on the road . '' i said '' you said being the truck up here . so i walked the down the trail thinking i'll do may best i can . but now it won't climb over that group of crossed logs . '' dad '' crossed logs! '' . oh ya this was after a few tries at climbing that trail , i don't need to tell you how pissed off he got , and let me know all the way home from the job site up in the mountains . then made me fit it were we went back . still got the truck and that broken axle , lol . and to add i have dodge pick ups from 36 to 72 . i'm an adic , lol .

Last year for Fargo up here in Canada was 72. You are right they were basically re-badged Dodges sold at Plymouth dealerships. My dad had a concrete business (septic tanks and side walk slabs etc.) That's where I learned the worth of a good truck.
