Hey guys, I managed to score a second 340 71 R/T which my wife has laid claim to. The car is supposedly a one owner car (if you don't count the original owner's son who inherited it recently-- it had been parked and put on blocks). My wife is dead set she wants this car *cough* 1969 Ford Gulf Stream Aqua *cough* and I will include a pic below of the car she showed me. It will be a restomod since she could careless about stock and the car is missing it's fender tag with no broadcast sheet available anyway. Was there a mopar equivalent that is REALLY close?
The current plan is to do the color like she wants with possibly a black shaker hood and the black 71 R/T striping down sides.

1969 Q5 turquoise?  I think it's a touch lighter than the Ford colour, but it is really pretty and pairs well with a white interior.

1970 B5 blue (EB5, not GB5) is also similar, and much lighter than the '71

Thanks for the quick response! I did find this charger that looked similar when I searched turquoise but had no idea about the color code. I plan to make a photoshop mock up before going all in.

Q5 or LL1 would be another option
