1970 Challenger V1F "green vinyl top" what color was it?

[6bblgt]

My Challenger R/T was originally FF4 "light green metallic" with a V1F "green vinyl top" (w/one darker green repaint)

here's the best pic(s) of the top when I got the car, but I removed its remains & didn't save a piece 

this WSS was on Craigslist recently - it is also FF4/V1F & looks pretty original 

& a picture of Ledgendary's E-body green vinyl top "boar grain", but it is not available in a "wide seam" Challenger version

so, what color was it when "NEW" & does anyone have a picture of "survivor" '70 green top on a '70 Challenger or Barracuda

Creme car but factory green roof.

Well @6bblgt  I just so happen to be restoring a 1970 Challenger that left the factory FF4 green with a V1F green vinyl top.
Now mind you this car made a stop at ASC to get a sunroof installed, but when I got it the original vinyl was intact, especially on the sunroof slider panel.

I was able to save the original vinyl off of the sunroof panel and there is a good chunk of material that is folded over and glued on the inside meaning it's NEVER seen sunlight for 48 years. Just wiped it down with SprayNine for the picture.

Here are pictures of it compared to my Legendary Auto Interior wide seam vinyl top....

Dan, your bottom picture looks like the right colour. I needed one for my F8 1970 Challenger. They were not reproduced and I ended up having one custom made for me by SMS FABRICS IN Oregon. Took over two years to arrive after it was paid in full.  On + side they made me one an it turned out nice.

Nice to see that Legendary is finally reproducing them. A few years ago they told me that it would never be reproduced and they are the ones that told me about SMS.

@anlauto  how does it look in person?  looks a little "off" in the picture 

is the "wide seam" V1F a current STANDARD product at Legendary?  do they refer to it as "antique green"?

this is the same story I've heard quite often for the past 20 or so years  that will be great if they are now available!!

The original is maybe 5% darker and the grain is a little "less" then the reproduction, but overall I think it's a pretty decent match. When I ordered it, I just asked for green and that's what I got....

   The Legendary grain is different.  But i guess that's as good as it gets for now.

I just joined the forum and saw this discussion. Are you saying you can now get a a wide seam antique green vinyl top other than SMS? I was going to Order one from them but sure don't want to wait 2 years to get it. I am restoring a F8 1970 Challenger R/T that came with that top.

@F8RT the pictures I posted above are of a wide seam top I just bought from Legendary not too long ago

[F8RT]

Thanks I will check back with them. I just ordered my interior from them a couple months ago which just arrived last week. At that time they said they didn't have the correct material for my headliner and only carried the narrow seam antique green vinyl top.

   I would like to tour the SMS facility. They seem to have/find some pretty obscure material.
    Yet they seem to fly under the radar. I mean not much advertising.

I better check the top I got then.....I ordered a wide seam....

Dan, My friend has a 70 Challenger RT/SE with green top. He had put a Legendary top on, it just did not look right. We found a NOS Green Challenger top and he took the legendary one off and put the Nos one on. OMG what a difference, The green color is different and in the grain there was black. I will send you a picture when I find it.
