Used to be red for years, but I have become a fan of the Ivy Green after seeing a beautifully restored 1965 Fastback in that color.

Of the available choices, I voted for acapulco blue.

I like caspian blue and I think its called highland green (Bullitt). I also like the ivy green on the earlier cars. I like alot of the colors though. I think alot of it depends on how the rest of the car is set up.

A friend of mine in high school's older sister had a 65 or 66 that was vintage burgandy I believe with a black vinyl top and it looked great. Someone else I new had an ivy green 66 with a black vinyl top and it looked great as well. I'm not really a fan of viynl tops though, mainly because they can cause damage.

Are you thinking about what color to choose to paint your car?

Naw, this was a followup thread on one in the tech section involving a guy in England and a Playboy Pink car.

Hmm, I actually like Poppy Red, though it's more at home on the '65-'66's than any others. I also like Dark Moss Green (the colour my vert's painted), Silver Jade, and Wimbledon White. And whoever I marry is getting a Playboy Pink Mustang from me Honourable mention goes to Lime Gold, my car's original colour. It's a way cool colour, it just shows really badly.

Lime Gold seemed to be a popular color back then. I've had 4-5 Fords and Mercs that were originally that color.

Lime gold with black interior looks good.

You car does look slick in grabber blue. I don't think that is an original Ford color until around 69-70 right?
