Hey guys i was talking with the GF today and was wondering if anyone happened to have a 68-72 A-Body pictures that were purple. Its her favorite color and she is thinking about it so i thought i would see if i could find some pics for her. I remember seeing a 68 about 7years ago in Ohio. As always any help would be awesome

TIA

Gosh, I'm sorry but IMO that is a color only a mother could really love...

Rice Boy??? really??? I think there's something missing printing on that blower

I like the color actually. My first one was going to be that 68 i was talking about but the guy wanted cash only and seems suspicious lol

Sometimes a pic doesn't show the true color of the paint. It probably looks a whole lot different up close, in the sun, or moving down the track.

Had a friend back in college who would every time he bought a new car, he would paint it this God Awful orange peel dark purple and have a black vinyl roof put on. It was his 'signature'. He said that's what he agreed to do when he married his 'GF'. Good luck with that BTW

I'll look for the pics there is an original 70 W30 Convertible that came from the factory purple - supposedly with documentation - cool looking car if yo ask me

sicky olds

lol she can pay for it herself if she wants one, i have enough with my 2 cars to worry about for a while LOL

Allan R

Had a quick look and found these. Sorry, the roofs are black instead of white. Is this more like what you're looking for?

sicky olds

personally i like the black roof, just getting pics to see what she would like for now, so anything helps

The glare covered up the "Bite Me" above Rice boy.

Sicky,

I read somewhere Oldsmobile planned to do Rally 350's in other "shocking" colors purple was one of them.

stevengerard

Maybe its in that thread but that is a mopar color, that's what I remembered reading somewhere

I had mine painted Victorian Plum back in the late 80's but I am on the road and don't have any pictures with me. Supposed to be home tomorrow so if I remember I'll post.

Bite Me Rice Boy?
Surely someone in a Nissan with a fart pipe wouldn't even try. Talk about bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Not a big fan of purple, but this car has been on 442.com in the virual car show for years and it came to mind imediately when you posted the inquiry.... I guess I liked it cause it stuck in my memory!

Okay, i'll be honest, i associate purple with Mopar, never would i paint my cutlass a Mopar colour. This is personal opinion, but i'm sure there are people that agree with me. Next step i guess would be to plaster Wiley Coyote on the side of my 1/4 panel

Like he said this is for his wife. me for one would rather my wife drive a mopar colored cutlass than a mopar colored mopar. lol

we have to keep the wifes happy.

Allan R

You know what sound the starter in a Mopar makes? Try starting one sometime. It goes like this


Nag nag ....

nag nag ....

You now know where it comes from and what auto giant was responsible for teaching them 'happy' .. Yes you too can own a Mopar and have the benefits of a wife sounding off without even getting hitched!

alek72us

The guy said he wants to see purple cutlass. they dont have to be mopar purple. i know u older guys would die if a cutlass was painted a non cutlass color. but u guys wouldn't do it to keep the wife in a cutlass? u would rather them go by a mopar just to get the color they wanted? u know u would be working on it all the time and wouldn't have time for ur cutlass.

I would paint my wifes cutlass purple. because i would rather her drive a cutlass.
