- EF6 Bright Green / Rallye Green. Bright Green is one of the first four High-Impact colors Chrysler introduced in 1969. However, unlike Go Mango, Butterscotch, and HEMI Orange, it was available for a limited time in the spring of 1969.
- EK2 Go Mango / Vitamin C. Perhaps the most vibrant shade of orange ever applied on an automobile, Go Mango was also introduced in 1969. The hue found its way on Plymouth's color palette as Vitamin C. Unlike Bright Green, Go Mango remained on offer for the 1970 model year too, so it also became available on the first-generation Dodge Challenger and its corporate twin, the third-gen Plymouth Barracuda.
- EL5 Butterscotch / Bahama Yellow. A buttery shade of yellow, Butterscotch (or Bahama Yellow on Plymouths), is not quite as flashy as the other nine colors on this list.
- EV2 HEMI Orange / Tor Red. The fourth High-Impact color introduced in 1969, this hue had a bit of an identity crisis. While Dodge called it HEMI Orange, Plymouth labeled it Tor Red.

Royal, regal and totally radical! Dodge’s Plum Crazy (or In-Violet for Plymouth and Chrysler) was the most vibrant variation of purple ever seen to come straight from a manufacturer. The adored FC7 plum paint quickly provoked a cult-like following that intensifies with every passing year. The color was available from 1970 to 1971 and has made a suc...
HEMI Orange, or TorRed for the Plymouth and Chrysler counterparts, is the center of a spirited debate. Is it orange? Is it red? The answer is both, the illusive color gives off orange hues in bright lighting and a reddish tone in darker lighting, resulting in the confusing difference in names. The color was originally available from 1969 to 1972. I...
Only the boldest and baddest cars could dare rock Panther Pink (known as Moulin Rouge to Plymouth and Chrysler), by far the most audacious color to ever be sprayed on a car right from the factory. That goes for the drivers as well, it takes a lot of guts for a dude to be seen driving around in what is usually considered such an effeminate color. As...
Making its debut in 1970 and sticking around until 1971, Sassy Grass (or Green Go) was almost as flashy as its controversial name. One of Chrysler’s many childish (but hilarious) double entendres, antics like this color name help define the brand’s rebel attitude. Dodge paid homage to the classic color with a similar blend called Green With Envy, b...
Glowing like a toxic goo, the stunning Sublime (or Limelight) was only available in 1970 and quickly became one of Chrysler’s more popular pigments. The color is often mistaken with the deeper FJ6 Sassy Grass, but in person, you notice Sublime’s luminous gleam that stands out from other shades. Sublime has made a successful return to modern Mopar v...
Available only in 1969 and 1970, Go Mango (or as I like to pronounce it “Go Man Go!”) challenged the competition and dared other manufacturers to release their own bold blends of orange (you’re welcome, Grabber and Hugger Orange). The color was known as Vitamin C to Plymouth and Chrysler, a fitting title as the color brightened up the streets in th...
The semi-obscure EL5 Butterscotch (also known as Bahama Yellow) presented a tamer side to Chrysler’s new color lineup while still catching the eye of consumers. Appearing docile next to the wilder side of the color chart, Butterscotch offered the perfect amount of pizzazz for economy cars and performance models alike. The color was available from 1...
Arguably the rarest of all HIP colors, Bright Green (known as Rallye Green for Plymouth and Chrysler) was only available for a limited production run in the spring of 1969. The seasonal availability of the color not only made it incredibly rare, but also earned it the nickname “Spring Green”. Even at the most prestigious of auto events, you’ll be l...
The longest enduring of all High Impact Paint colors, Dodge’s Top Banana (or Plymouth and Chrysler’s Lemon Twist) “peeled” onto the streets in 1970 and lasted all the way until 1973 during the final phase out of the muscle car era. The color was massively produced (by Chrysler’s standards) and quickly became a popular choice for high-end performanc...
No, it’s not Lemon Twist! No, it’s not Sublime! No, you are not tripping … I hope! This thrilling one-year-only 1971 flip-flop color plays mind games even worse than HEMI Orange/TorRed. In bright lighting, GY3 appears to be a vibrant yellow, while in darker lights, it is more comparable to a lime green. The popular name associated with GY3 was Plym...

Mar 28, 2021 · The K-Cars would eventually become known as Chrysler LeBaron, Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon – three very different looking vehicles that all shared many features. These features included a fuel efficient 2.2 liter engine, a body that was made of plastic (the first plastic bodied car in the United States), front wheel drive and more.
