There is a 69 440 dart with bronze paint, black vinyl top, black interior and black stripe, LOOKS GREAT
if the rest of the car looks as good as the dog house, clean it up and leave it alone.
Original cars are hard to come by, and by far worth more money if clean. But if it needs restore, value will be higher painted back original.
If you want a blue car, flip this so someone can have a nice original in a great color

Great car and color, leave it alone and put the gator grain back on!! Great find, off the road since '76.....wow. How did you find it?
Everybody seems to paint their car B5. Bronze looks great on these cars -- I would say stick with it.

If the car is mostly original I prefer the original color. If the car is going to be heavily modified in other ways then paint it how you like it. T5 is an awesome choice!!
X2 I gues this would be the best way to put it.

According to Hamtramck files T5 Dodge is called copper poly I couldn't find a 69 Plymouth one on this site was it possible that Plymouth called T5 Fire Bronze Metallic?

I would keep it original color
Ok, i see Barry doesn't have Plymouth colors. I always think of T5 in the Plymouth name and i had the words in the wrong order(i'm getting old), it's "Bronze Fire Metallic" ......i have 5 sources in hand!
The large Plymouth color and trim selector book, Mobil Chemical Co., and ACME Quality Paints call it "Bronze Fire Metallic"
PPG and Martin Senour Paints call it "Bronze Fire Poly"

NICE score ... To many blues... reds ....
I have a T5 69 340 4 speed Swinger with saddle interior ... The white strip on T5 in my opinon is not a good choice .... Put a mat black strip on it ... Not many cars with that combo in 69 left... Carpet should be black .. I know that saddle looks better ( i changed mine to saddle
..... Will change back soon..
Can you get Original Saddle seat covers... door panels .....?
Can you post pictures of the sunvisors ? want to know if color matches a pillar paint. or top of doors ... Something tellsme that they are Gold in color ?
Mine is in storage .... i do not have current photos ... Thanks

to add another opinion to the list, i'd keep it the orig. color. on that body it's a really nice color option. i'm all for keeping things mostly orig. unless your doing a motor swap, pro street build, etc. , then it's balls to the wall :burnout:
just my opinion

sweet looking dart.yes you can get the saddle interior from legendary 4 to 5 weeks.went with a little darker carpet than original.will try to post a pic of the sunvizors.thanks
Another vote for origional. That is a nice car. I seem to get my nuts kicked every time i say so, but the origional colors are part of the cars blood and history. You gotta stick with origional.
I purchased a set of door panels for a 68 dart i had about 8-10 years ago ... cannot remember from who... but the vinyl material on door panels were glued right to the backing ... in otherwords did not have any cushion ... are they better now? Did you research it and verify that they changed this?

Definitely stay with the original color. That color is awesome looking on that car.
