A unique combo to say the least.

I remember years ago there was a well documented Mopar - I think it was a 70 Challenger - that was the most God-awful color combo you could imagine. I'm thinking it was Plum Crazy purple with a yellow tail stripe

That 70 Chevelle that Rick just mentioned wouldn't be far behind it, though

--------Two quick color combo mistakes I remember. The first one that was dealer induced was a black 69 L89 Corvette convert with a paisley covered hardtop. The second was factory produced and was a 70 W30 442 in the Olds version of Autumn Gold with a green bench seat interior. Both very odd vehicles. I saw the Vette brand new at a Chevy dealer on the east side of Columbus Ohio in the service department with the heads off. It had dropped a seat backing off the truck. I was there to buy it but sort of fell out of lust when I saw it with that top and the heads off. It took me a long time to warm up to aluminum heads after that!!!!!!..........Bill S
