It's too bad that there's no production figures on it. It's actually one of the more common color combos that I remember seeing back when they were still all over the place.
This one was sold new in FL and then went to NC. NC/SC is where I see the most of these. Being in Ga, solid red and red/white were the most common for us growing up thanks to UGA

Thank God Seattleites don’t buy cars in UW colors or they’d be purple!

If my truck didn't have a decent dark blue interior i would go wild with the exterior color.

Just an example of a happy $4k Oregon truck to raise the spirits. I mean, it’s at a used car dealer so….gotta be a bit more than a “good deal” is worth.
Also as a comparison, the truck in question is overpriced.
You must be registered for see images attach
I'm willing to bet that 4,500 is just the down-payment. They do that here in Houston all the time. You think hell yeah then find out that's the deal. They want way more than that 4,500 for the truck.

The old style hub caps look perfect on that truck.
Ha, yeah looking back at those pics, I like my new cheap vintage looking Halibrand wheels but it’s hard to beat white steelies and poverty caps.
I sold the whole set hubcaps and all, but could easily see myself going back to that look.

What's wrong with purple? If I ever had a Snack Pack like your orange one, it'd be purple lol
I mean, yeah, and arguably GoMango is louder and probably uglier to some.
And Plum Crazy is a good tribute to days gone by.
One of these days just for giggles I want to get the General Lee decal kit and put on that car!!

My MGB project was originally a purple similar to Mopar's Plum Crazy - previous owners redid it in red and its in too nice of condition to justify a complete strip and respray but I'd have loved to go Plum Crazy on it. I've found sections of the orig color under the dash and inside the door cards.

In my area people are insane. Posting a truck like that one asking 5k and being disrespectfully argumentative when I try to have a discussion. “I know what I have”. Look nationwide. But it is getting harder to find units with little or no rust. I traded a rusted out 74 K5 I bought for $1500 for an 89 K5. The 89 was rust free but needed all the body panels repaired, prepped and painted. Sold it for 8k to someone in Denver. I’m in Colorado and it’s getting insane trying to find any square bodies here. You might have luck in Kansas, New Mexico, Nebraska, etc. I would wait and save and pay for one that doesnt need rust repair. When you find a clean one you will appreciate it more and it will be much much less daunting to tackle the things it needs.
