Looks like a 1971 ?

If its a 1970 ,,its probably just F8

There was a REALLY  dark green on 1971 Chrysler fullsize cars called Avocado green. Code F9

That looks pretty close to Testor/Model Master Fathom Green ('69 Chevy color).  My Hobby Lobby doesn't have it anymore but it IS still in the line.

Relatert bilde69, 

This is a 1970 300 (check out the grille, which is the giveaway), and therefore the color is Chrysler Jade Green Metallic, Code F8,  My Dad's 1969 Chrysler Town and Country wore this same color.

Thanks for the tip. I doubt i will be able to get that color over here on those rattle cans.

I thought about Verdoro Green for Pontiac,seen on some 69 GTO`s,probably avaliable earlier and later as well. This

i can get to ready for airbrush. Plan on this color for a 70 "Catalina" wagon.

Thanks. Speaking of 69 Town and Country,there is a guy in our town who has one of those with the 300 grill,it looks really good

but i doubt it`s factory. He said this car was one of the most expensive cars on the 1969 line-up.

Yes 1970,said to be an R&R kit. I`m keeping that color chart,nice to look up later in case i was to stumble upon a 71 ish model of somthing.

Can't you get the Fathom Green the same place you got the Citrus Yellow?

Forgot to ask--do you have an airbrush?

The seller on ebay had a narrow selection so i could not find it. Maby i should ask to add to selection.

Btw do you have any pictures of Fathom Green being used on a build?

Yes i got one early this year,still very inexperienced on using,but learning.

I just happen to. Here it is on a Nova. The Camaro is MCW's Fathom Green. They're not exactly the same, but I can't way which is more "accurate."

The '69 Town and Country was really equipped more like the lower-series Newport, but wore a front grille from the top of the line New Yorker series and the interior seats from the 300 that year.  His 300 grille swap sounds very cool but it wasn't built that way at the factory... as you correctly note.  

It was one of the higher-priced Chrysler models that year, but it really looked great (as you noted) and seemed to hit a spot in the market that year.  Sold around 21,000 units if memory serves me correctly   And it looked best (IMHO) in that good ol' F8 Jade Green Metallic, too.  

Cheers.....TIM ,
