Neptune Blue~ ( The Lexus Deep Blue )

Or Porsche Deep Blue looks nice too~


You don't want it too flashy~ ( it'll get keyed )

I recently finished my 71 Mustang convertable. I know the year code is off for your but i loved my color. It's a factory color called Light Metallic Pewter. It's what happens when gold mixes with silver. Not really either, not really bronze. VERY RICH COLOR.

I still say Silver or at least Gray see?

granted, the Shelby gives the regular mustang a few extra (and sexy) curves, but I still say one of those colors :)

Original color chips. I used to have a '66 Mustang. I know I'm going to get reamed for this, but I never liked the car that much. Mine was the original burgandy with black interior.

Yeah, the Acapulco Blue introduced in '67 was pretty nice though.

Someone should have let my pal's ex know that.;)

Stick with the original color. You may want to sell it one day.

Don't be a fool!!!! Stick with the ORIGINAL FACTORY COLOR! You'll decrease the value of that baby if you change the color!

Muadib and Aceman got it. You have NO CHOICE! It MUST be original. You know what? Is that the original paint that's still on there? If so, it may be worth more now than if you paint it. How much would you be willing to part with it for? $4,900 to start?

hey, its "elanor"!

:p

at the risk of getting flamed to death, what is the functionality of those thread like things on the hood? those things that go from the hood to the front grille?
