Looks like GM's Royal Plum Mist. Code RR I think. One year only offered.

I was going to say the same thing. I know it was a Buick colour. Could you get it on a Canadian Pontiac?

The only colour i hate more than purple on a car is yellow. This car looks nice though, in spite of that ugly colour.

Love it. Given all the $30K cars I'm seeing here all the time, if that car is even near as good as it looks, it appears to be a steal at $10K.

I think Plum Mist looks great on that car. Not what you are used to seeing, but it does the lines of the car justice. Plus, there won't be five cars the same colour parked next to you at the car show...

I'd drive that car, that colour in a heartbeat.

Sold fast.

Don't be surprised to see it back on the market soon for $20,000

Canadian Poncho · A Poncho Legend!

I messaged seller. That is the original colour. Would have been cool to see the GM Docs on that. And yes, I got a message today that it is sold.

A friend of mine bought this car. What an incredible score! The car is in fantastic condition. Never seen a winter. He graciously offered more photos to share. I'm purple with envy smile

MC · Canadian Poncho Superstar!

Wow, what a beauty! Great score for your friend! Congrats to him!

Pontiacanada · A Poncho Legend!

Nice car ... seems to be in great shape!

4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

Feature car!

Wow that's nice, and a TH400 to boot. Odd that it has so few options but someone would spring for a 3 speed.

Plum Mist, also known as Royal Plum, was originally a 1966 U.S. Pontiac color that was also offered across the line (I think, it bears investigating) on Oshawa-built GM cars in both 1966 & 1967. In the U.S. Chevy only used that colour in 1967.

Nice 2+2! I agree with Carl, the car is generally light on options yet they sprung for the TH400. Very nice car as it sits. The L30 was a sweet package, though I wonder what gas the car needs to run on with a 10:1 compression & mild cam.

2+2 and Grande only but I did read somewhere that mid year they made the change to all of the lines. Hence my April built 327ci, M40 75635 Laurentian.

The 2+2 looks good but I question whats underneath the paint since the firewall and doors or a clear indication to a repaint. The interior is fantabulous.

My friend tells me it was one repaint with no rust repair. The car was stored winters and in 1973 was put into storage. Paint was done fairly recently.
