My 68 LL1 Runner is almost ready

[Cliff Ramsdell]

It’s funny how this color looks different over the years and in different lights. Back in the 80’s I always referred to the car as “the green dart “ now it has more of a blue hue to it depending on the type of lighting like nature sun light, overcast day, flash or even florescent shop lights vs LED shop lights.

Beautiful cars. How do I make sure I get the right color of LL1 for my 68? Do the paint stores have a formula or do they have to match it?

My body guy is 78 and doing this his entire life. He made a lot of calls before he got the correct formula he could check against original paint under the windshield moldings.

My 4 spd post coupe is an original LL1 car and with any luck will be again soon. Yours looks fantastic!

I was told that the color was only put on in 68 before mopar changed the mix to a lighter shade. My body man had a chore getting the correct formula.

Many years ago, the painter at our small town body shop would actually mix the paint to match the aging of the existing paint if the customer wanted it. He was very good.

I like your car also. People don’t realize what it takes to be a car nut.

Mine is going to have to match the inside of the trunk lid. As far as I know it's still Original paint.

@Pawpaw68 why the red X?

At first I didn’t understand what you were talking about. It’s my Fat fingers. The check is to small for my old fat fingers. I’m sorry. I enjoy every post. Thank you
