WHO owns this 74 Charger SE!???

[Wile E Coyote]

Does anyone know who owns this 74 SE? (Top Photo) I know this photo has floated around the sites/internet the last 2, 3 or more years - and I wonder if anyone knows who owns it. If you do, any contact info would be appreciated. I want to find out if the color is factory and if it isn't, what exact color it is. I have the same car (Bottom 3 Photos), same color combo and I'm getting ready for paint - and I would love it to be the same color, factory or not.

Thanks!

not sure if this is the factory chip chart, but this one shows a dark Silver A5.

I believe I am responsible for posting that pic on this site, while defending the styling of the 73/74 cars.

I found it several years ago doing a search on google.

Now the search returns this site, but not the original, which I have no idea about.

It inspired me to purchase my 74 s/r car, but alas it was way too far gone to save, and became a very good parts car.

Looks like you got a ringer for that pic car. Good luck, and hope to see progress pics.

I do believe that is a factory silver color.

Wasn't that factory colour called 'Winchester gray'?

A5 Silver Frost Poly

Yep, you're probably right. Winchester Gray was a Plymouth name, not Dodge, and anyway it was A4 from 1970-71.

I found the owner!!! (Love the internet!!) Here is what he told me, "I restored the 74 Charger in 2000 and painted it with a factory Dark Metallic Silver slightly customized with a little bit of special effect flakes. I worked at Sherwin Williams Automotive at the time and we produced the paint for a custom paint job. The car was sold 5 years to a person in the Pittsburgh, PA area."

I have to reply now and ask him if he can reproduce the same recipe. I LOVE that EXACT color on his old car and want it on mine!!!

Custom mix. That's bad. Just like the house, stay with re-producable and easy to find stuff. That is color, not colour.
