So is this an elaborate hoax or is it for real a Grabber Orange GT. It was said to be a hybrid fuel car. Any guesses? Maybe Brad has the answer for this one. This was the only shot sent to me but it does have a Steeda decal on the front. Can’t quite tell if it’s a photo shop or not

Looks like a hoax to me. The picture looks like a bad chop.

Looks like either a good chop or a custom paint job to me.

If that's a chop, someone did a great job.

 

The wheel centers look like blue ovals which would make the car a 2005. I think the car is yellow and the lighting give it the orange look.

 

Yea thats yellow. Mine has come out that color in photos before.

 

It could have easily been painted before

 

I see two different cars in those pictures. rims are different. The one with the Steeda sticker on the front looks like it's brake calipers have been painted too, I would think after-market paint job or photochop.

Of course it's two different cars. He never stated it was the same car. Read the original post. The bottom one is a legit Grabber Orange V6. The question was whether the top photo was a real Grabber Orange GT.

Actually it's not that hard. Just slide the "hue" value on photoshop, 10 to the right and here is what you get. Screaming Yellow

 

OK. I'll buy that. I was thinking that since the rest of the pic didn't change it wasn't just a color shift.
Thanks.

The big pic of the v6 is for real! That car was at Village Ford in Dearborn today! That is Grabber Orange with the new spoiler.

 

Interesting spoiler on the orange one.

 

photoshop. Look at the grass and fence. In the orange photo, the grass and fence have a fake orange hue to them. In the AFBlue photo, the grass and fence look more natural browns.

Yup, that is not a Ford M-plate vehicle. They don't paint the brake calipers. Plus, don't all new Mustangs have the pony wheel center caps now? That still has the Ford oval.

The car is a "Mule" there are 2 center cap choices from the factory but when they mock up a mule it can be a hodge pog. I saw this car personally. That is the color period.

 

I believe this car is a custom painted car. I found the same exact photo as well as others on a cardomain or something sight awhile back and posted under another topic. But pretty sure its not a true grabber orange

Here's my original post with the same exact photo and 2 others of the car

Just did some searching and found the tripod site with about 10 photos of the car
