Yes The Corvair Decade Lists it as a color, and my 67 which I purchased in
1978 was that color with only 28,000 miles.
When I dis-assembled the car to paint it a different color, there was
absolutely no trace of any other color under any of the trim, door panels,
rubber moulding, insulation.........nothing.
I do find it very hard to beleive it was only listed as a Camaro Color. I
also know pretty much the history of Bob Kurnetta's car and I do not beleive
that is a color change.
It's been awhile since I've seen the Plum Impala, but was not looking at it
in that way.
