I'm bored out of my mind because my back isn't letting me do a whole lot so I've been looking back through the forums to catch up on much of what I missed.
I came across a couple of threads about V02 cars and I'm wondering are they rare or are they just rare when they're white with a blue roof? On my morning 'get the back moving' walk I took a picture of my Challenger fender tag since I either haven't decoded it before, or I forgot I did it. I haven't used a photosharing thing in a few years so I don't know what the best one is at the moment but I decoded the tag and got this.

Once my back is better I want to pretty up the Challenger but I don't know if I'm going to respray it orange or go back to FJ5 with a white roof. It's Orange with a 440, go wing and TA stripe with the hood sticker right now but I've never liked the TA stripe on it and would rather have the butt stripe.
I know it ultimately comes down to what I want, but I like FJ5 and I plan on doing the Cuda in Sassy Grass and there's another Challenger down here that's Sublime with a white painted roof. I've also considered doing both cars in Sassy Grass but the name GreenGo in Puerto Rico is a little close to Gringo

As was discussed in the other thread, definitely a rare option....  With two of them down there it makes me wonder if they were ordered for a specific purpose... I know in Mexico they have green & white Taxis.....   Challengers don't really lend themselves to being taxis but maybe they were company cars for a business?

I think the other one was just painted the way the owner wanted, I don't think it's original.

That was really a neat combo. If you were in mainland U.S. I would suggest painting it back to original but where you are I agree with doing it whatever way you like. I don't imagine there's a lot of Challengers in Puerto Rico so it will be an eye catcher no matter what you do. Good luck with your back, I found yoga to be the best cure for mine after I fractured some vertebrae and put up with years of pain.

Do you have a photo of the tag?  I bet @6bblgt  would love to see it.  :banana:

I do have a pic of it. Is photobucket still the way to go or is there something better now?

Photobucket is not the way to go. What type of device do you use to access this forum? There are a few ways to post pictures here and they are all easy to do.


06Daytona

Either PC or iPhone. I have the picture on the PC now

Just load straight from your computer to the website.... This website has excellent hosting....

Step 5 is the easier way to upload a photo.  1 click of your mouse is all it takes to upload.  Just click "Choose File" under the Attach below the reply box.   :bigthumb:

I'll give it a shot

What a great color combo.  I have NEVER heard or seen that combo before.   :drooling:

RUNCHARGER

Thanks for the photo. That tag is in nice shape, the rest of the car pretty decent as well?

The rest of the car is in pretty good shape. The clearcoat is peeling and there are a few bubbles and paint peels. The floors need fixing but for the most part it's good.
I've been googling for a sublime with white roof and black stripe, but I can't find one. I've found black roof with black stripe and white roof with white stripe and those were vinyl roofs. I'm really leaning towards factory color now though

Here's a craptastic photoshop of what it might look like
