Any undesirable FACTORY color that you dont like on GT/CS?

[classicsguy]

Many people hate the Lime Gold...I do not like Red(too common) I even like pebble beige since its an unusual color.

Anyone who "hates" a 1968 color that you will definetly not buy or paint your car?

My '69 XL convertible was originally ordered with a custom color that looked like "Lilac Mist Irredecent", which I believe was a '68/'69 T-Bird color. I called it "Philadelphia Pimp Purple" and there was no way in h--- I was going to repaint it that color. It had already been repainted red in the distant past and I didn't even find the remnants of the original until I stripped the car down.

My least favorite is the Lime Gold, followed closely by Seafoam Green. I often thought that Ford must've bought 50 million gallons of Lime Gold based on the number of cars that color (as WAS mine). I have no problem with color changes, even on concourse cars when done properly. MCA doesn't judge on Marti Reports, just the door tag - which can be purchased to depict the car's current color, etc. I know there are purists that contend that you 'confuse the car's identity' if anything is changed from original configuration. And that's OK with me. That's why they make chocolate & vanilla ice cream ! Different opinions can be a healthy thing.

Have you ever seen a Pebble Beige GT/CS? We've been looking for one for years. They seem to be the Bigfoot of the GT/CS world.

A member of VMF forum has one that he offered once for sale but not anymore. it had a front end damage but the car was factory pebble beige. He sent me pictures and you could see it in a distance. I like rare and unusual colors...thats why I dont like red. Prefer lime gold than red if it comes to that choice.

That's ashame. Someone sold a 69CJ rough project last year that was the same color for $85K.

I may have left it the original color, seeing it is so rare. But that is just me.

Donna,
Hope ypur feelings wern't hurt too much, but you should be used to people being "mean to green" by now....What is it you usally say? something like , "it's not easy being green" maybe?

But you can get him back, Strap him on the Gurney and give him a real taste of Los Angeles freeway driving.:grin:

Make him lie in the back wearing the toe tag. LOL

 

[Diesel Donna]

Hahahahaaaaa!! Heck no you can't hurt my feelers that easy! I actually am not that fond of Lime Gold either! But it WAS the most popular color in 1968.
I wasn't gonna say anything about "Resale Red" because I love red no matter what. When I painted my car years ago, I couldn't afford to re-do the whole interior and it was five shades of green....so I didn't have much choice except to stay with Lime Gold. Nope, it isn't easy being green!

 

[Midnight Special]

...I do not like Red

...WHAT ?????

'Them is fightin' words!!!
;-O

P.S. "Re-sale Red.......Donna....?
Boy, have I got a deal for you!

My FIRST '68 Mustang was Lime Gold. I did a color change to Black/Black.

My LAST '68 Mustang was Lime Gold. I did a color change to Yellow/Black.

My RIDE '68 Mustang IS Lime Gold. And I'll be eternally grateful.

PB in the Registry!!

Have you ever seen a Pebble Beige GT/CS? We've been looking for one for years. They seem to be the Bigfoot of the GT/CS world.

Arlie,

Bigfoot has been spotted in the registry. Check it out. No pics. But at least some sort of data.

http://www.californiaspecial.com/registry/view.php?vin=8R01C164145

Or search in the registry for color G (which should be 6 per Kevin Marti's Mustang By the Numbers book).

My absolute favorite color = Highland Green (who had that beauty @ Mike & Robinette's?)
Next best = Candyapple Red (aka Arrest Me Red) My last resto was a '67 GTA convert. Red/Red with a white top. An absolute knockout!

[PNewitt]

GEEZZ!! I hate that gawd-awful Highland Green, especially on concours cars...it's hideous!....no..no....wait, I meant..uh..Pebble Beige, yeah, that's it!!

Sorry if I offended "anyone" at all out there with a Highland "Bullitt" Green GT/CSs out there that might be concours, and....might have won a Gold Award, and...are in California....(but what are the odds of THAT?).

For myself, I kinda like Royal Moron...er..Maroon!!!
