Sorry I meant other Mopar brands (come on this is a mopar board :bigsmile:), in the late 60s early 70s.  Other then the high impact colours, was there a mopar purple available?

Ok, so is Plum Crazy, Dodge FC7 the same color as Chrysler Purple Metallic code C7 ? 

My guess is yes...but  :bricks1:

C7 is the color.  The letter in front of it is the year it was first released.  For instance, there are multiple B5's.  Each will have a different letter in front of them to tell them apart.

71...G
72...H

In 1971 they offered a darker purple C8. I believe it was discontinued during the model year.

My 1999 Dakota was Purple but I don't remember the name of the exact color off of the window sticker. I'll look at home and see if I can find it.

All the paint chips are listed here in the Hamtramck-Historical registry:
http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/library.shtml

Imperial had a code M9 (Deep Plum) in 1970, and Dodge & Plymouth C-bodies had a code C8 (Indigo Metallic) in 1971, and Imperial had M8 (Sparkling Burgandy Metallic).  By 1972, it looks like they were all gone from the paint lists.

Chrysler had the dark purple on the trucks too in the late 90s
