Redfire with parch. interior....however, I saw one in black the other day and it looked damned nice! The way I saw it, that candy-apple red was too much of a Mustang cliche, the silver and the mineral grey were uninspiring (the silver "on the hoof" looks NOTHING like it does in the marketing photos), the white was boring, and the green was just plain gay. Sonic and windveil blues are nice though. Not sure what to make of the yellow.

I'm just curious, what do these polls serve? Are you just curious what people like?

Well, yes, help making up my mind, though now I have, but I wonder what will be a color combination that people find attractive and valuable when re-sale time comes, but at the same time not see myself coming and going with the most common colors. What's going to be a sleeper color. Also, I was trying to see if anyone would get Parchment interior and with what exterior color.

I guess I'm odd, but color combination is just interesting to me.

Windevil blue with parchment leather. SMOOOOTHHHHH. I know its not a popular color, but I like it. I think it reminds me of the old 65-67 mustang or something like that. Plus, It might be fun to have this car be faster than it looks. Add the scoop, and you have one pretty lady.

The parchment leather on the V-6 I saw was beautiful. Now, when they add those little dots to it, I am not sure. Anyway, blue and tan reminds me of a summer day at Hermosa Beach. Best, L.L.

Exactly, thats my choice, with white stripes. My backup (in case I don't like it when I see it up close in person) is mineral gray with dark charcoal.

I talked to a dealer over the phone who had seen a Mineral Grey go through. He said it was really great looking. He also liked the Satin Silver with Red, but didn't like the Red interior with most of the other colors he'd seen.

Of course, I would have liked white vinyl interior, standard, like a real sixties car, but they won't give us that untill the day they take off the cat cons, I suppose. It's something about life in America always has to go down hill or the corporations won't make a big enough profit.

At very first, I thought Mineral Grey was my color. Slam dunk. Then I saw one on a lot and thought it was dark and dull. The next time I saw one it in the sun on a really clean car, It just popped. In the end I have decided its is a very commanding color. I like it.

The windevil is a little like that too- it can look pasty or absolutely eligant- depending on the light and how clean it is. I tend to keep my cars well detailed, so its gonna look cool.

For me, if I do stripes on the windevil, it will be silver or grey. Really rocks....

I just looked at the WV blue with the silver stripes. You're right, that is nice.

When I originally starting thinking of getting this car I wanted yellow with the charcoal interior and black stripes put on. My wife told me that if I got yellow she would never drive the car or been seen riding in it. I'm still trying to figure out what the downside to this is...

I could live with any of the colorscept for maybe Legend Lime. I first thought WB but wife said if you gotta get one get red so I ordered Redfire with dark charcol. Now if the end of Jan (hopefully) will get here I can get to driving instead of talking about it.

And as for resale value, nothing Im planing on worrying about as I plan to have this car rest of my life (53 yrs old now). My kids can do whatever after Im gone.

Stupid question

I have a stupid question: Which color would be best for a dirty car? I'm energy challenged(lazy), and find it hard to clean my car unless I get struck by lightning. So which color would look the best dirty, if all colors were lined up with a slight coat of dirt on them?

Signed, Terminally Lazy Merlin

Usually people will recommend grey / dark silver / "champagne" color cars for that duty. I got Mineral Grey for this reason, and it seems to be doing well. I drive it almost daily through the Ohio winter, and it appears to stay clean looking until it gets absolutely filthy. Have fun.

Screaming Yellow
Ordered 12/14 GT Deluxe, cloth int, only option is the SIUP and Shaker 1000. My version of the old LX models. The dealer I work at doesn't like ordering yellow vehicles for some reason. We have over 30 mustangs(mostly V6's) here and none are yellow. Mine is the first one ordered. I don't know how many ford will sell in yellow, but with the options I have mine could be fairly rare.

I have a silver 99 stang and all this time i can honestly say i've washed it 10 time LOL i'm extremely lazy and pray for rain every now and then for a quick wash haha... but u really cant see the dirt on silver after i put limo tints then i had the problem of cleaning the windows....so i say silver is the best for dirt not showing.

PS just ordered a Black GT and i'm worried about how i'm gonna keep up with cleaning this thing!!!! i hear even a thin layer of dust shows

I really want an emerald green (or better yet Black Jade) or a Midnight/Nightmist blue, but I had to settle for Sonic blue because that is as close as I can get right now and I'm not waiting for a special edition.
