Default 65 GP Iris Mist - Plum Interior

Cream puff with less than 20,000 actual miles.
Only aware of about a handful of 65's with this combo.
Even had the right plum color floor mats.

Just sold on BaT for about 40k

Thought some of you guys might enjoy a look at it.

Just curious: In 1965 was Pontiac's Iris Mist and Chevrolet's Evening Orchid actually the same color?

I'd have liked to seen at least a few pictures of it in more of a dusk lighting environment.
Or magazine quality indoor pictures.
It was just a bit sun washed in that photo shoot.

All the pot metal chrome was practically perfect.
True Beauty inside and out.

Had a ‘66 GP with a plum interior. So much nicer than black! It wasn’t Irish Mist though.

Nice looking car!

It would be a nice feature for SS one of these days. Beautiful car, nicely optioned, in a truly sweet color scheme. I love the plum interior; so very "1965."

Thre was a complete, mint '65 or '66 plum GP interior at Norwalk this year... just $5K! It was gorgeous, might be the only one in the hobby for sale.
