I'd like to see them!

Seem this one on ebay today and got me thinking that I have never seen a car painted that colour before.

Plymouth: Fury Sport Fury

My father swore his 71 Fury Gran Coupe was In-Violet. It looks darker to me. I've come to the conclusion it was a GC8 Mood Indigo car. He swears it was Purple and not blue, I believe him. Car would be worth a pretty penny if It would have made it...

I looked at one that was for sale in Idaho while I was there. The fellow was a member here but probably just passing through. I'm not sure what he got for the car but he had little interest at 5 grand

Wow, I'd hate to see what the other car looked like that did that damage!
 
I think he was down to about 3800 while I was still in Idaho. I had the cash in my pocket but needed it for the Carlisle show and the rest of the trip. The real reason was I asked myself, what the hell would I do with it and the answer was look at it. I have a couple of those... If it were a Polara there would have been different pulsating feelings going through my veins. Bottom line is, it wasnt a gotta have car.
 
For those who have seen it, does GC8 look like this Toyota color? Crush blue, I think, is Toyota's name for the color. I saw one when driving yesterday and I immediately thought of mood indigo. Thanks in advance!

Its probably similar as old colors seem to reappear years later, of course with different names. The "shade" will vary due to different paint technologies- enamel, lacquer, 2 pack, water base will all vary even though they're all the same color.
