Go Mango is a Mopar color, not a Ford color

copied from this website: http://www.turbinecar.com/misc/enginecolor.htm Below is what I have come up with as a good start to find the correct engine color for Mopar engines from 1960 to 1973. After about 1969 they were all pretty much Blue except for a few odd balls. I have seen Slant sixes in Black in the early 60's sales brochures but those are not the best source. I have used information from the Plymouth Owner's club, Walter P. Chrysler Club and various web sites to assemble this list. Engine colors were and still are subject of much debate. It seems no one at the factory really cared about any kind of specification for paint - as long as it got painted - it was ok. These are what I have found to be considered normal or standard - if there is such a thing. Your comments are welcome - however be prepared to back up your arguments with facts from somewhere. I would hope this will be a help to those who are trying to restore their classic Mopar to as near original as possible. The paint numbers are from Mopar Performance and may or may not be available from your local dealer.

not trying to start any trouble here, but if you suggest that someone starts reading the magazine, then maybe the magazine should arrive in a timely manner? i just recently(couple weeks ago)got the january issue at my LHS the same day it was delivered. I imagine it is rather difficult to know whats been/not been printed in the magazine due to the fcat that the issues are some 3-4 months behind.

i suffer from it as well sometimes, thats one of the reasons i have numerous kits of the same vehicle, "put it here so i wont forget where it is"......."ok where did i put it?"......"oh well ill buy another one"......"ahhh poop i found it"
