Gorgeous. The 85-86 is my favorite Fox Mustang.

WOW!  New color for me--this was factory?  Usually the car companies have a variety of colors at the time which are trending or even pre-trending the marketplace, but I didn't know this existed because I have never seen one in this color, ever, even when living in urban areas in CA.  I had the opportunity to drive one (hard) years ago and I was impressed with the car back then--good fun smiley

Not sure about that color. It would definitely be fun to have something unusual.
