Peter Manson's restored Poppy Green, 1969, Rainbow of Colors, Super Cobra Jet, Mach 1 fastback was our Attitude of the Week for March 8th, 2008. This amazing Mach 1 was one of 10 ordered by Russ Davis Ford of Covina California to promote his dealership and most likely his racing cars. We actually have its sister on our site. Peter has done extensive research as well as restoration on his car. The Rainbow of Colors was a west coast 1968-69 sales promotion which offered new Mustang owners many sporty upgrades as well as one of 13 special order bright colors. Many of these cars were base models, but a few; like Peter's; were higher end models. New information on Russ Davis shows that this special order may have also been for a Gas Ronda racing promotion since the famous Cobra Jet racer was promoted by Russ Davis.

| bluboy: | | How can I get the mixture for this poppy green on Paul Mansons '72 Shelby Mustang. Thank you for any information. bmorg28766@yahoo.com [Editor: The Poppy Green that was used on that 1969 Mach 1 is Ford special paint code WT7034. It is not metallic but still very nice. To order a sample of the paint I would suggest calling http://www.automotivetouchup.com and giving them WT7034 to see if they can come up with a formula. It is not a standard color but the Ford code WT7034 or PPG code 43817 might allow them to look it up. Otherwise Napa or Sherwin Williams stores will have the ability to mix it] |
