I read that (you must be on the email list too) and thought about trying it. I really like Duplicolor engine paint for ease of application and durability, and the fact I can buy it off the shelf appeals to me. BTW, I always use their primer before top coating and I think that helps with adhesion.
Because I'm conflicted with the Hirsch Turquoise now. That's pretty far down the road though.
So for my 1971 Fury GT, the 440 should be Chrysler Turquoise, not the Chrysler Factory Blue?
'71 should be Corporate Blue.
This is just my opinion, based on observation only, that the turquoise color was greener in the cars before 1969 or so. I think it became almost blue by 1970.
I think it went from a more pale green tinted turquoise to a blueish green turquoise. Maybe suppliers changed? Mix was changed? Who knows. Corporate Blue was 72 and up.
That's it, I don't know and unless the guy that spec'd or approved the paint signs on here, we may never know.
71 GT should be orange. 71 had the HP motor. The 70 was the standard 350 horse engine with non HP exhaust manifolds with a dual snorkel with a Super Commando pie tin. The 70 6bbl was orange.
In theory you are correct. His car is a promo vehicle and has a T code 350 horse 440 in it. It should be turquoise.
Is it the green one that was in Washington State?

After seeing pics of that car I remember it being advertised in MCG in for sale section, in the mid 90s.
Hi. My car is a T code 1st day of production car. It and the green car were T code. They were for sale by the same person in Washington state. After our 2 cars, all known 1971 GT are U code 440 HP. If you remember anything specific from the sale of my car in the 1990s, I'd like to know. Thanks.
Thanks! Rough is in the eye of the buyer. If that car was on the east coast it would be too rusty to save. Supposedly the car started life in Colorado, but spent most of it's life in New Mexico. That's what saved it.
