The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hello all, I'm new here. I recently bought my first Challenger, a 70 painted in citron mist with black interior. This was a lucky find for me, especially for the price ($800). The interior is very clean and intact, especially since its been sitting in a pole barn for 25 years. The only rust is on each of the four roof pillars plus a minor amount on the trunk lid and trunk pan. It appears to have its original 318 and 904 trans too, though I still need to check the casting numbers. Its fender tag numbers go as:

R11 V5X y05 26 ENI
V1X C16 C55 G33 H51 M21
FY4 H6X9 000 623 214641
E44 D31 JH23 GOB

Anyway, I have been searching around the internet for other citron mist colored E bodies, and there seems to be very few around.

Welcome to the site!

FY4 is not a popular color today, but it is quite stunning, I really like it myself.

Most of the cars I see coded for it have been repainted.

You can see photos of a couple FY4 Challengeres here;

Personally I love that colour.

A mate of mine had his Coronet painted a very similar colour. But I think it is one of those colours where you do need straight bodywork.

Weird, my car is really Gold and not Citron Mist. I like the Citron Mist a lot better
Why do the two cars have the same paint code???

it looks like the plymouth name for the paint is citron mist & the dodge name for the same paint is light gold metalic they used the same paint & code just a different name i.e. plum crazy = moulin rouge & sublime = lime light etc
cheers ian

I thought Citron Mist was a light gold metallic??

The two look very different in the pictures Is it just lighting??? I guess it doesn't help that I'm legally color blind lol!

They are the same colour in Barry's photos. They are just taken in different lighting conditions.

Excellent. This one will be staying the original color. I appreciate the help guys
