Is that the 'Poppy red' color?
Not sure. It looks red most of the time but it looks orange if the light hits it right. The car was originaly a light blue with a blue and white pony interior. The interior has been dyed black (except for the rear seat which is new). The paint is an Earl Scheib or Maaco cheapy job. Major overspray and fenders not totally covered plus its one of the worst orange peel textures I've ever seen. The person I bought it from was going for exterior looks as opposed to actually fixing anything. I had my mechanic (Mustang type person) look at it before I bought it and I had another of my friends (tire store owner and mustang lover) check it out too. Other than the brakes and the bearing it is in great mechanical condition and no cracked rails and minimal rust. There was some rust covered over with the paint (most likely improperly removed before paint) that is apparent in the pictures of the doors. That is the worst of the rust. The car has been hit in the rear at some point I think because as the pictures show the rear bumper doesn't line up right and actually looks bowed. The seller sait they were new bumpers but on inspection later (puttin in a new float for the gas guage sending unit) they are rusty on the inside. The car was a beach car for 5 years the seller told me, beyond that I have no idea. The rims are oxidized pretty badly as the pics show so they will eventually be replaced. I've babbled on enough I think. Have fun and feel free to ask me more questions, hell, I might learn something!!

Yep. :)
Here you go:
heres mine.It's orange damnit not red.
By the way, folks, the "new" CFrog is already costing me money. Since I bought it in New Jersey, I had to have it inspected in Pennsylvania - new brake pads on all corners and (drum roll) needs new exhaust. (None of this was a surprise.)
Don't tell Jean (I've convinced her that I'm not exactly happy about having to lay out the money), but I'm thrilled - just ordered the Dynomax SuperTurbo setup for the GT. The LX has the Ultraflows, which is a nicer, deeper sound (as befits my advanced age), but I like some of the reviews I've read about the SuperTurbos. Now I'll be able to compare and contrast!
dwight (BTW - Mustangs Unlimited's price was $179. I use them because the parts are at my house the next day. The shop owner said that the exhaust he would have gotten for me - and I didn't even ask what - would have been $300. I just saved over $100! Now I can order new floor mats.)
I've got pictures of my past cars (and hopefully my future car) in various places online.
None of them are Mustangs though.

Ah, cheapy paint job. Ok, Ford did have a 'Poppy red' which under the right light looked more orange that red. *L* Talk about orange peel, I saw a brand new Chevy SSR today. Bright red. Nice car. but with a 50K+ price sticker I'd expect a better paintjob than it had. Definate orange peel and 'drips' at like the edge of the hood. Disappointing to say the least. I guess the trained monkey's Ford used got offered a banana more an hour and now work for GM. ;-)
