There's a '67 on ebay that may be painted with the elusive "Royal Plum" 
color.  Here's the link:

I'm currently 3000 miles from my library, so I'm not able to check for the 
availability of any other maroon/burgandy hues in that year.  I have only seen 
one other Royal Plum car in my entire Corvair history.  I once considered 
spraying one of mine in royal plum and went as far as purchasing a pint of the 
color and spraying a test panel.  As I recall, the test panel was quite dark 
looking and I choose another color.  The one car I saw in person was quite 
striking.  Two other rare LM colors that I've only seen once were a Cameo Beige Corsa 
and a Chateau Slate Corsa.  Both were convertibles and both were, umm, less 
than striking in their beauty.
