it sounds like a car that showed up at pony corral maybe 10 years ago- i remember talking to the owner/driver - he indicated that it was his mothers car bought in 1969

she apparently loved the mopar purple colour and got the car repainted that color- i think she worked at Birchwood motors

as i remember other details of the car i had the stock 68/69 beaumont wheelcovers  and original rims on it- the interior was black

only saw the car once that time - trying to find pictures which i know i took

 Big surprise there, that you nailed the description

How old was the paint? There was a 68 convertible in purple back in the 80s and early 90s. I had an opportunity to buy the car, it was driven on the street then, but very infrequently. I think it needed some rust repair. Pretty sure it was a long time owner at that time. ak

yup - found the pictures i took back in 2010 when i saw the car at the pony corral sunday night car show

 

from the latest sightings it sounds like the car has detiorated quite a bit since that time- looks like the rust was starting to show up at that time
