Back in the early 1970s, Dodge and Plymouth offered seven High Impact colors on their Chargers, Challengers and Cudas, which included Plum Crazy, Panther Pink, Sub-Lime or Hemi Orange.
Some of them were highly popular among musclecar customers, such as the Plum Crazy (or In Violet for Plymouth), which can be seen on handful of nicely restored Mopars. Of course, General Motors and Ford had their own crazy color palette, but most enthusiasts claim Chrysler’s High Impact initiative was exactly what those big-engined musclecars needed.
And that’s probably what the guy who first bought the Chevy Nova SS pictured above thought when he ordered the car in a special factory “plum purple” paint that resembles the iconic Plum Crazy, rather than having it in GM’s Daytona Yellow or Hugger Orange. This cool-looking vehicle (yeah, we don’t care about the GM - Mopar wars) was up for auction on eBay, but it ended with “reserve not met” at $20,100.
