Very wavy quarter panel too. Kind of a beater to be truthful...but it gives an idea of what a correctly finished one could look like.
Charles, I especially like the Mayfair/Candlelight colors on the pre '68 cars. Again, black interior is a must for me...at least for the A bodies.

How does it give an idea if it's a completely different pink?

I guess I'm color blind. It doesn't look completely different than the color chip to me. I'll take your word for it.
Unless the faded example above is more accurate to the original, I assumed that when new, the paint would be a bit deeper.

This is a '68 Mercury Cougar with a color called "Passionate Pink".

I get enough grief for my Mayfair Maze Yellow GTO, but I like it and do get plenty of compliments. People either love it or hate it, I could care less, I didn't paint it for them.

Back in the 80's I got hold of one of those full page color chip sheets from the service bulletin book for 69 Pontiac. I wrote numbers by each color one being my first choice and so on. If I recall there were 21 colors (including 3 GP only colors). My 19th choice was Limelight, 20 was Mayfair and 21 was Expresso.
30 years later I have a Limelight GTO, a Mayfair LeMans and a GTO, a Bonneville and a GP all in Expresso. Go figure? Someone in an earlier post said it right, every color is pretty when done right on a nice car. The only line in the sand I draw is bad color combinations.. I remember seeing a 69 (RAIV to boot) GTO that was expresso with green interior and Cordova top A 70 GTO convertible that was blue with a red interior and white top (a Patriots or Canadiens fan I guess) Conversely some color schemes sound bad but look nice... I saw years ago a Carousel 69 Judge with the gold interior, very sharp!

Looks like this thing has resurfaced and now they are asking allot more but it looks worse.

I would love to see that car totally restored to factory condition. Probably will never happen but I would love to see it. At that price, it will stay right where it is.

The all caps run-on ranting really bolsters the asking price. How do these people come up with the numbers like "2 left in the world of 8"? Are there even any records for '68 that show the production numbers by paint?
Looking through the pics, the water neck, a/c brackets, a/c compressor, alternator bracket, and ps pump aren't original. It looks like mid-late '70s to me? It may not be the original engine.

And , damn , it does look even worse now. Had hoped that Mr. or Mrs. Right had acquired the car last time. Looks to need at least 95% of everything replaced. Cowl would be worth saving. Would liked to have seen it when New It would kill at the bigger car show events, in pristine condition. |

If you had that car given to you I don’t think you could restore it and make a dime on it.

Heres my Expresso brown Judge convertible which I think is rarer than that Pink POS. AND BTW just because it's rare doesn't mean its desirable. He's absolutely out of his mind to think that car is worth 175k. Not even if it was frame offed. I Cant even get that for a REAL JUDGE convertible.
