5 Most Head-Turning Dodge Muscle Car Paint Colors
Classic Mopar muscle cars are known for their awesome unapologetically bold colors. Here are some of the best we've seen over the years.
FC7 Plum Crazy
Originally available as a color for Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler products from 1970 to 1971, Plum Crazy was as jaw-dropping back in its day as it is now. It's hard to imagine such a high-saturation purple would be a hue offered by a manufacturer. But that's exactly the type of bold message Mopar muscle cars aimed to send with this, as well as all other colors in this list.

FJ6 Sassy Grass
Considered by many to be obnoxious, Sassy Green (AKA Green Go) is the perfect demonstration of Dodge's character as a brand, a character that has stood the test of time decades later. Comically named Sassy Grass, this color was also a feature in '70 and '71. A throwback to Sassy Grass (AKA Green Go) was offered in 2017.
EK2 Go Mango
The list of in-your-face colors with in-your-face names continues with the paint hue that made the color orange cool in the realm of muscle cars. Go Mango was a color offered in 1969 and 1970. The Plymouth and Chrysler equivalents also received a quirky name: Vitamin C. The color was revived back in 2006 and then again in 2016.
GY3 Citron Yella (Curious Yellow)
What makes Citron Yella awesome is that it falls between a true yellow like Top Banana and a true lime color like Sublime. Under sunlight, it shows off its warmth. Without it, though, it shows more lime. In any case, it's beautiful to look at. The fact that it was only available in 1971 also adds to its rarity.
FM3 Panther Pink
Panther Pink takes the final spot on this group of head-turning Dodge muscle car paint hues because it represents the sheer audacity of Dodge designers and customers alike. It takes quite a bit of confidence in one's intestinal fortitude to pull off a vibrant pink color on a V8-powered muscle car. And that's exactly what Mopar cars do. Sadly, though, many of these cars have been given sub-par paint jobs to cover the pink. Because toxic masculinity has no mercy on classic Challengers. On a positive note, the manufacturer brought back a modernized version of this cool hue in 2010.
