Salvagedcircuit Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Aww yeah! Medium Bronze Metallic crew checkin in! It really seems to be a uncommon color, and it's neat to see one in nice shape!

Looking forward to the restoration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably since you found another the same color with the same code. That’s Chrysler reusing codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detonator yellow was a 2010 only color on the Challenger. Just a reused code. I suspect the build sheets brings up the codes then translates the codes to the most recent revision of those codes.
