I vote a nice shade of Silver ( I loved my dad's silver '86 GT) Or Maybe a Burnt Orange.

Unless you are going to pull the engine and spray the bay to match and do the jambs and under the hatch, they keep it original black.

Nothing ruins a car IMHO than opening the door of a blue car and finding a black door jamb

Was thinking the same thing. When switching colors....you have to do it right or you're wasting your time IMO.

Move where I live....there are very few "nice" looking black foxes. Most are still riding stock paint or are red or another color.

Black will always be one of the best looking colors.

Hard to keep clean, but hard to beat.

i know this doesnt have much relevance but i love looking at clean foxes, i like looking at them more than owning one, cause i know how much work it takes to make one be and look real nice...
