Now we can talk about this beauty

We saw yesterday precisely why you don’t post cars that you want to talk about in the for sale forum....

That is an unusual paint combo, I believe it was featured in a Mopar magazine a few years ago.

Ahhh... !
Did I miss some juicy back and forth amongst friends?
A post gets "cleaned up ", "again! "

Well since I am here; I had never seen that color combo on a Challenger or any other car for that matter, and although i thought yesterday that yellow on green was a bit odd, today, I think its great!

I have a friend that recently sold an A66 Challenger that was yellow with a purple tail stripe. Rod

It was initially posted in the for sale forum where comments are not allowed...comments like this car is awesome!

Wow gents.
I’m glad that the cars posted are interesting enough to generate a review, conversation and may be have potential buyers checking them out!
Enjoy the journey!

If anyone has an interest in the car, I also posted the fender tag that I decoded in the original posting. Interesting read!
Had to enlarge one of the sale photos to see the numbers.
Happy Hunting!

Looks like it's twin but a 383 RT car was sold out of Ontario on Mapleleaf Mopars in 2006?
Mopar of the Month April 2006

How about purple with a yellow stripe!

I remember 40 years ago seeing a purple with sublime stripe challenger. I thought why.

I think that the Green and Yellow Challenger was a special order for a young Phil Knight. He was just trying different looks on cars before starting Nike and making crazy uniforms for the University of Oregon football team. ( Sorry for the strange joke, but living in the state of Oregon makes me thinks of such things.)

When I worked at Chrysler, my friend there, had a purple, black top and guts, yellow stripe car. 340-auto.

JS29U, F8 green, chartreuse butt stripe.

 

[budascuda]

Had to lookup "chartreuse" on wikipedia; a riveting read!
Green and chartreuse were meant to be.
But, man.... I'm really liking the sublime and yellow, it's curious!
I will stop looking at this post just in case I decide to paint my next car that color combo.
Gee, thanks very much paharamia.... Lol

I’ve got a buddy with a survivor A66 car that color.

 

[wedg2go]

Nice! Different! Not really my cup of tea, but I certainly "Wouldn't" kick it out of my garage for having a green posterior stripe.

Nothing fancy but my A66 Challenger was B5 blue with blue interior originally with no stripe.
