The first Orange Mustang was introduced the first year of Mustang production in 1964 as an orange shade of red called Poppy Red. Another early orange was also the first glow color: 1966 Emberglo. Most people think about Grabber Orange when they hear orange Mustang which was first introduced on the 1969 Shelby Mustang. There were 28 offerings of Orange in 22 of the 47 production years of the Mustang. Follow this link to see photos of all Orange Mustangs on this site.
There were a few orange Mustang special models. These models were exclusively orange or came in special orange paint.
Madagascar Orange 1968-69 Rainbow of Colors Mustang
Not exclusively limited to orange, the Rainbow of colors was a 1968-69 West Coast promotion which allowed new Mustang owners to order a car in one of 13 special factory of colors which represented the colors in the rainbow. Some of these colors were Madagascar Orange, Whipped Cream, Spanish Gold, Dandelion Yellow, Hot Pink, Caribbean Coral, Forest Green, Sierra Blue, and Moss Green.
We are currently working on getting more information on special orange color WT5185 Ditzler60524 Dupont97249H which was used on several 1968 Shelby Mustangs and the 1968-69 Rainbow of Colors West coast special promotional Mustangs. Some people have documented it as versions of Poppy Red or Calypso Coral. We are calling it Poppy Red for now.
Grabber Orange 1970 Twister Special
Offered only in Grabber Orange, the 1970 Mustang Mach 1 Twister Special was a promotional special model sold exclusively in the Kansas City area.
