drodg Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Here is a picture I took of my 67 and 65 Coronets. Both PP1 paint code and the 65 is all original paint and I believe my 67 is mostly original paint. The paint tones are so different even though they are they same code but a few years apart. I know the B5 blue varies in the years on Chrysler cars also. Thanks 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racephoto1 Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Nice Mopars. What's under the hoods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Those are two nice rides! I bet the '67 is a 440 car, being a Rapid Transit car....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drodg Posted June 28, 2023 Author Share Posted June 28, 2023 The 65 is a 383 4 barrel and the 67 yes is a 440. Both cars survivors. I have had the 65 for years. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Nice pair of "W's" ! Now a couple of enquiries : 1. ) Does the '65 have back-up lamps ? 2.) Which plant(s) built them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 65 I will have to look at the build sheet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larman Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Wow! They are both beauties! I always liked the '65 styling and the early RT cars are super sharp too! Nice that the '65 is a big block! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Nasty Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 You are right about the B5 blue. I had my '68 Barracuda painted that color last year & for a factory color, there are all kinds of variations. At a car show a couple of weeks ago, I parked next to a '69 Super B in B5 blue & they looked completely different. I guess it depends on who mixes it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972coronet Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 (edited) B5 blue has a few different shades, depending upon the year(s) of the vehicle(s): - EB5 was used from 1969-1970 ( "E" = 1969 ) - GB5 was used from 1971-1973 ( "G" = 1971 ) - KB5 was used from 1974-1975 ( "K" = 1974 ) - MB5 was used from 1976- c.1980 ( "M" = 1976 ) If a model year's not specified, any of those '-B5' blue shades could be provided/mixed.
