Il me semble que les couleurs High Impact aient commencé en 70 chez Chrysler, certaines ont probablement survécu plus longtemps que d'autres.

Par contre en 69 (je prends l'exemple de la Charger) certaines de ces couleurs tels que le Hemi Orange et pe d'.Autres était disponibles avec un code de peinture spécial (999)

[Charger69]

Pink panther était le nom pour Plymouth pas pour Dodge. J'ai raconté dans un autre poste l'histoire d'un gars qui s'était commandé un Charger R/T 1970 rose en pansant que ''moulin rouge'' était rouge...

Quand le char était sur la ligne de production, il a recue un appel de Chrysler qui lui demandait si c'était bien ce qu'il voulait. Il a dit oui mais quand le dealer a eu le char et que le gars l'a vu il le voulait plus mais a pas eu le choix de le prendre.

J'ai lu cette histoire dans Mopar Collector's Guide il y a quelques années.

Pour tes couleurs, je sais pas si c'est considéré comme high impact mais il y a Petty blue qui, au début avait aussi le code spécial paint #999.

[Buick68]

Pour le code 999 Petty Blue il aurait aussi servi a d'autres couleurs spéciale qui n'était pas dans la liste , ca semblait être un code "de dépannage" , mais dans ce que j'ai vu jusqu'a maintenant on ne le considérait pas comme une High Impact Paint (HIP)

Un bon petit texte sur les High Impact Colors
http://pantherpink.com/color.htm

En gros ca a débuté en 69 , la plus grand choix de couleurs en 70 , en 71 une nouvelle couleur apparait

Dodge -----CODE------ Plymouth
Citron Yella --GY3-- Curious Yellow


En 1972 seulement 2 High Impact demeure au catalogue

Dodge ---CODE--- Plymouth
Hemi Orange --EV2-- Tor-Red
Top Banana --FY1--Lemon Twist (qui est aussi la dernière disponible en 1973)

Petty Blue est le nom slang pour B3 blue, à cause des chars de Richard Petty:
Dodge "Blue Streak"
Plymouth "Basin Street Blue"

Les deux sont couleurs de 1973

[59maniac]

Petty utilisait cette couleur bien avant 1973.Regardez sa voiture de 1967,il aurait pris dans le temps un code de 73??? Corporation blue est le vrai nom pour cette couleur. C'est le bleu qu'utilisait Plymouth pour ces enseignes et devantures.Il peinturait leur camions remorques de cette couleur aussi.C'est le bleu que l'on retrouve dans les crest de grille avec du bleu,blanc,rouge.Le rouge était celui de dodge!

Salut

ce qu'en dit allpar.com de l'histoire de Petty blue

Petty Blue


Richard's Fury wasn't ready until just before the July 4 Firecracker 250 at Daytona. Both Lee and Richard competed in the hardtop Fury's in that race. Lee lasted 77 laps, only to watch his son make one more circuit and retire on lap 78. However, things like that were not the norm for the Pettys. They prided themselves on being prepared before getting to a race track and it showed. Richard competed in 21 races in 1959. He came in 4th in the convertible division and 15th overall in the Grand National points chase. Doing Plymouth and Petty Enterprises proud, Lee Petty won his third Grand National Championship. The cement that made the organization had Plymouth written all over it. 1959 also marked the first use of "Petty Blue" for the paint on the Petty built cars.
When asked directly about the "Petty Blue" color, Richard related, years later, that indeed, it had been a fluke. Late in the 1959 season, after having to rebuild one of the '59 Plymouth Fury's, Maurice told Richard that they didn't have enough white paint for the painting of the entire car. Being brought up to waste nothing, Richard found some dark blue paint, but not in a sufficient amount to paint the whole car. Richard said they he looked at Maurice, and Maurice looked at him, and they just dumped the two paints into one tub, then proceeded to paint the Plymouth in the color that came out. When they got done, they were impressed themselves with the hue. Lee came back from an out of town race, and marveled at how that color set the car off. Almost electric is what he said. Of course, Richard and Maurice had to scramble to remember the right mix. Once they did, the formula became their secret, even to the point of being patented by a paint company as Petty Blue.
When the 1960 season dawned, their was only one color on the Petty cars. The "electric" Petty Blue. It became their trademark.

Pour le code 999 il voulait dire
Special Order 999 Paint Codes


Special Order "999" paint codes were codes assigned for a vehicle for paint colors that were not officially available for that model vehicle for a given year. When a car line was planned and introduced, a number of colors were designated as being available for that car. Dealer information and paint chips were distributed, assembly lines were readied with paint mixes and instructions for the paint departments for the identified set of paint codes.
The way a 999 car was order was that any one with a fleet account (dealerships, or large purchasing agents) could order any Ditzler color for any vehicle for some additional small fee ($75-100). When the 999 order was placed, some notation as to which actual color was written on the order. The factory would have sent the car down the assembly line with papers that also reflected that special paint color.
While the parameters of the 999 special order paint mean that there were probalby some unique orders that mades a "one off", for some years, there were common 999 orders. 1968-1969 999 Orange cars would be one of these commonly order special colors. There were probably a few hundred 999 Orange cars built in 1968 and 1969. For 1968 and the beginning of 1969, these were Omaha Orange which is the same orange used to paint early 1964 race hemi's (Ditzler code DRA60436). At some point in the 1969 model year, the special order 999 Omaha Orange became the EK2 Vitamin C Orange which would be standard color for 1970. The is per a 4/7/69 TSB stating that begining approx. Feb 1, 1969, EK2 "Vitamin C" Orange would be available for Belvedere models.
Some hobbiest inaccurately state that all "999" cars were Orange, while order inaccurately state that a "999" code on a car would give the owner license to reapint the car any color and still maintain that the car is "original" or "numbers matching" (paint numbers at least). Its not accurate to say a 999 car could be any color you want. If the color was available that model and that year, it wouldn't have a 999 code for that color. So, a 1970 GTX 999 car could not be painted of the available 1970 GTX colors and be correct. FM3 Panther Pink, EB5 Medium Blue, FC7 Plum Crazy, FE5 Medium Red, FF4 Light Green Metallic, (etc) would all be incorrect paint colors for a 1970 999 GTX.
Speaking of 1970 GTX 999 cars, I found references to some 1970 GTS's with 999 paint codes being a "EA4" Silver Metallic ( see this "999 code 1970 GTX" page (off-site) or Petty Blue. One reader has contacted me since this article was first published with information of his 1970 A4 999 Roadrunner complete with a build sheet that has "A4" written on it, and 999 on the fender tag.
999 paints codes were not limited to colors that were not, or had never been made available for a particular model, It could also be a special order for a color that had been available, but was no longer offered. A good example of this are the 1971 Panther Pink / Moulin Rouge cars. All 1970 FM3 Panther Pink / Moulin Rouge cars were coded "FM3", the color was dropped for 1971. some 1971 cars were built as Panther Pink cars ( special ordered ) and were coded as 999 paint cars. (also documented is a 1971 Panther Pink Charger coded "148" ??).
In closing, I'll point out that 999 was a special order paint code used from at least 1961 through at least 1978. The 999 codes are common, or at least somewhat common, on fleet sales, like police departments, and park services, and were not limited to "Muscle Cars". Four door 318 cars have been documented as carrying the 999 code.
Here is a brief list of some example 999 paint code cars reported to have existed:

• 1961 Chrysler 300G coupe, Dark Green.
  
• 1965 Barracuda, Yellow.
  
• 1966 Barracudas, Pink.
  
• 1968 Road Runners Omaha Orange, maybe as maybe as 100 from the Los Angeles plant alone.
  
• 1968 Dart, Orange.
  
• 1969 Barracudas & Daytona (1) & Charger 500 (1) Omaha Orange.
  
• 1969 Super Bee Bahama Yellow (Butterscotch).
  
• 1969 cars with Rallye Green. (perhaps,, only seen references to its existence, but I have seen any reference cars..)
  
• 1969 Coronet wagon, color unknown.
  
• 1969 Petty Blue.
  
• 1970 Charger, A4 Silver. "Special order" on the bottom of the build sheet and "silver" written in marker behind the seat.
  
• 1970 Roadrunner, A4 Silver paint and written on buildsheet.
  
• 1970 Plymouths, Petty Blue, included a 4dr 318 car.
  
• 1976 Chrysler New Yorker Bright Yellow.
  
• 1976 Dart, unknown color.
  

If you have a 999 car that is not listed here, please drop me a line! Salutations

La liste des High Impact Paints
Les couleurs ne sont pas arrivées toutes en même temps en mars 1969.
Sassy Grass green (green go) et Moulin Rouge (Pink Panther) ont été offertes seulement en février 1970.

Certaines couleurs ont changé de noms et de modèles en 71

Certaines couleurs ont été offertes et sont restées populaires jusqu'en 1973 (Lemon Twist).
----------------------------------------------------
Il y avait 25 couleurs dans la High Impact Paint.
Théoriquement, les couleurs n'étaient pas disponibles pour tous les modèles. En pratique, un acheteur payait un supplément, il attendait une couple de semaines et on lui livrait n'importe quelle couleur...
En 69, elles ne coûtaient rien.
En 70, elle coûtaient $14.05

C'est intéressant de voir les couleurs qui étaient disponibles pour les Sport Fury GT... Je doute qu'il y ait eu beaucoup de ces bateaux en Sunfire Yellow ou Lime Green metallic!!!

[sportfury70]

Des petites photo de Sport Fury 70 Lime Green metallic :




Celui-ci (un S/23) aurait un Gator Vinyl top en plus

Pour les Sunfire yellow, il y en avait un sur ebay voilà un bout de temps avec toit vinyle noir (mais je doute que c'était sa couleur originale)

En passant 71chrysler300, très belle voiture que tu as, faudrait bien que je me décide à aller la la convention Chrysler de Saint-Liboire voir ça un moment donné !

[benlavigne]

He Sport Fury, la tienne n'est pas trop mal non plus! Ca fait du bien de voir qu'il y a d'autres amateurs de ''fuselage''.
Le jaune dont tu parles était un 4-portes si je me souviens, le proprio est membre de CbodyDryDock.com . J'y suis aussi, mon pseudo est benlavigne, vas-y, il y a des bons gars et de la bonne info!
Effectivement tu devrais venir à St-Liboire, les 9-10 août cette année! je mettrai plus d'infos sur le forum bientôt. A peine 1h 45 de Lévis...Aussi, j'aimerais aller au meet du CCQ à Beaumont en juillet, pour celui-là, tu n'as pas d'excuses!!!

Bonjour.

J'avais entendu parler que selon la légende, la recette du bleu Petty original était :

- 1 gallon de bleu moyen
- 1 gallon de blanc

Ça donne bleu Petty.

Bleu foncé et blanc ? j'ai déjà essayé, ça donne un bleu beaucoup plus pâle que B5 mais pas exactement Petty Blue. Peut-être...
