Brilliant!

White racing stripe, flat black bumpers and roll bar with polished aluminum wheels and you have a show stopper!

Most commonly known as "Sublime" or "Lime Light." Just what I thought looking at the pictures. I noticed because I've been eyeing Dodge J6, a slightly darker green most commonly known as "Green Go" or "Sassy Grass Green."

Hell ya! Very cool, I come from a Mopar family. One of my high school cars was a ruby red metallic (TT) '65 Dart 2-door.

I already have purple too, the other half has been wanting it green but not painting is so much cheaper than repainting -- I'll win this one and keep it the color the title says.

Visibility in traffic is my priority in color choice for these cars. We are pretty vulnerable out there and you made a good choice with the green!

I like the purple very much along with many other colors but not on a piece of plastic my butt is tied to and thrown out in the traffic with a bunch of half blind phone distracted idiots! I want it bright!

I like that little purple car, not necessarily the color....the green one too.but that green one is the right color for it. I wish I still had my mopars.

I'm kinda partial to the green myself. I agree with OPRN that a bright color is safer, however my wife agrees with him on being in a plastic tub. At 145 kmh I just tell her that's it's bright so that makes it safe...... Laughing
