That isn't a trip odometer, that is the optional quartz crystal digital clock.


Message from SteelSteeds
Actually, this car does not have air conditioning. But, the picture does show that it has the optional rear window defrost (switch on climate control panel), optional digital clock (just see the corner (...continued)

This promo photo is of the Limited Edition Mustang II 2+2 for 1977. They were only available in select colors, and had unique interiors. If you look inside, you can see the green plaid on white vinyl (...continued)

Message from IdahoVideo
Bobby has some very awesome cars and is a powerful advocate for the II restoration hobby.


Message from Jeff
I just built mine! Turned out great. I recommend using card stock and a glue stick. Allow parts to set before sticking down next parts. It's as easy as ABC (DEFGHI too).


Message from CR
They didn't make a Laser Red for cobras in 1997, this is clearly Rio Red. [Editor: thanks for the correction]


Message from 80 GHIASTANG
Does anyone have the stats on how many carriage top V8 cars were built in 1980?


Message from jbyow
I have a mustang gt EXACTLY like this. Kinda cool to know there were only 36 made like this!


Message from Joan
My first car looked just like this one and I loved it! When I am stressed, I often dream about the simpler time in my life when I owned my little blue 79 Mustang.


Message from 80 GHIASTANG
There was no factory built Suncoupe, but it may have been a dealer installed kit.


Message from Paul
01 - that's pretty awesome!


Message from SteelSteeds
This car isn't a true Cobra II as they were never offered in that color combination. The owner has just added all of the graphic elements from the '76-77 Cobra II package.


Message from stang74shelby
This is an actual King Cobra. and the color is Calypso Coral

Paint Color Code Cross-Reference Database
7.16.2009

What is the difference between a Ford M, WT, or MX code paint? How about a list of all of them with color samples, color names, Ditzler PPG codes, Dupont codes, and links to photos of actual cars if they are in our photo database. Did Ford ever use a GM paint on a Mustang?

These questions and more can be answered with our Paint Color Code Cross-Reference Database. We've also added other Manufacturers cars, trucks, and heavy equipment. This database is being set up to understand the historical usage of colors on special order Mustangs including the 1968-69 Rainbow of Colors, 1968 Color of the Month promotions, as well as understanding special usage in all Mustang colors.

Did you know that in 1967 you could order a Mustang in one of over 40 colors? Or that in 1968 over 26 special order paints were offered free as part of promotional packages? Or that there are hundreds of special order paints available from Ford every year?

We also have many of the GM special order WE-code paints as well as the Chrysler special order DT-code paints.

1968 Color of the Month Promotion
4.27.2009

Color of the Month

Thanks to Mal Hillier of Melbourne, Australia, for the information on his Black Hills Gold, 1968, January, Color of the Month promotional Mustang. We've added his car to the February Passionate Pink Mustang and April Eastertime Coral Mustang. We are still looking for a March Emerald Green Mustang, but we have recently discovered that Emerald Green was a Ford Special Order Fleet Paint until at least 1988. If you have any information on this promotion, please contact us.

Update: 1968 Color of the Month promotional Black Hills Gold shares the same paint codes with 1968 Rainbow of Colors promotional Spanish Gold. The date and assembly codes on Mal's 1968 Mustang hardtop more closely matches the 1968 Rainbow of Colors promotion, although it is a great example of what the January Color of the Month gold looked like.

2010 Shelby GT-500
1.2.2009


We are starting to compile information on the 2010 Shelby GT-500. The front and rear fascias have been redesigned above and beyond the 2010 new Mustang V6 and GT fascias. The Cobra emblem has a new design and is placed on the other side of the more narrow upper front grille. The lower grille is larger. The side lower body stripe has a new look. New wheels, and for the first time the GT500 coupe will have different wheels than the GT500 convertible. The engine will have 540hp with the addition of the Ford Racing Power Pack, Shelby tuning, and improved Tremec Twin-disc clutch 6-speed manual transmission. And the interior has been redesigned. Exterior color offerings are Grabber Blue, Kona Blue, Torch Red, Performance White, Sterling Grey, Brilliant Silver, and Black.



2010 Mustang V6 and GT Information
11.21.2008


We are starting to compile information on the 2010 Mustang now that some of the preliminary data is out. Yes, the front and rear end has been redesigned; and yes, there are more electronic and eco-friendly features. But some of the unexpected excitement comes from a redesigned dash and instrument gauges, new exterior colors including Grabber Blue, a variety of interior colors, standard Ambient Lighting on all cars and with more locations of light, sequential taillights, and all new wheels including some 19 inch versions.

1967 Ski Country Special Aspen Red
8.22.2008


What exactly does Aspen Red look like? Frank Recupero of Okhurst, California, submitted his rare 1967 Ski Country Special; but is it Aspen Red? MustangAttitude did a little research and found the Dupont paint chip for Ford MX 707587 (DuPont 2721H 93-83001H)). It was used on the 1958 Ford Edsel (but called Ember Red) as well as a custom color for vintage Gibson guitars, but the color appears to match!
