I learned something today

So my day is complete. LL1 or Surf Turquoise Poly paint was a special color offered in the spring of 1968 for a run of four months. I'm hoping the lady I'm doing the car for goes back to the original LL1 and not the hemi orange she is talking about, but hey it's her car.

The best of both worlds!!!! I hope you can convince her to keep it the less common original color instead of having one like so many others.

I hope she goes with the original.

I wonder how many cars were ordered with that color during that short run?

When I was researching the color it was considered rare in some of the articles I read. And there was talk of 3 hemi Chargers in this color over on the Dodge side.

Just wondering, did she specify an engine color as well? My 68 will have a hemi orange 383HP, although it's not correct. Give her the blue and sneak in the orange engine to make her happy. Oh wait...............I'm doing that. Whatever you do Bob, it will look great, I'll bet on it. :leave:

I'm using the 68 blue engine paint. If I had the heads back I'd have it painted.
