Driving out to Green Bay yesterday (9/12) I spotted this pony at Joy's Family Resteraunt in Two Rivers, WI. I had to stop and get a couple pics with the ol' cell phone camera.

Sure wish Ford would offer more colors, this one looked great in what appeared to be Emberglo

 

Is it candy apple red with the gold showing from the sun setting or does the car have custom paint?

 

A burnt orange might look sick!

 

No, it was definately Emberglo. The guy had MCOA stickers on the windshield.

 

Good looking color, but kind of odd to get custom paint on an otherwise stock exterior.

 

I think its just the lighting on candy apple as its flake is gold and it looks like its near sunset.

 

Getting custom paint is a good way of personalizing/customizing your car and making it one of a kind. You can get a color no other Mustang with factory paint has.... Kind of expensive though...

 

I agree. But it's unusual for someone to have a car custom painted, and not make any other exterior modifications, even if it's just something simple like a GT/CS bumper or different hood.

 

Maybe they have an "in" at the factory.

 

After reading another thread comparing Dark Candy Apple Red to Redfire (maybe it was Torch Red), I think it's a Dark Candy Apple Red Mustang with the sun reflecting on close to sunset or the sun shining directly on it.

 

Actually I am wondering if that is some kind of weird custom paint job done with Ford connections: Ford DOES have a color called Orange Frost metallic clearcoat

I saw it in person on a Sporttrac and it was pretty darn sweet.

Car was parked near another red car. It was not redfire or candy apple red, Up close, the color was definately a bronze/orange color and it didn't have the pop of a newer color. It looked like the old metal flake emberglow color from the 60s. Only other exterior mods were chrome tail light trim. It also had the FORD center caps on the 2005 argent wheels. I beleive it was a custom repaint, primarily based on the Mustang Club stickers in the windshield. I actually got out of the car and walked up to it. My son says he sees the car periodically, so I will keep my eyes open and see if the owner will give me a few details. I would be willing to bet he has a classic 65 the same color in his garage.

 

There's an S197 in Gainesville that is burnt orange. I'm pretty neutral on the color. I don't hate it, but I wouldn't get it on my car.

 

Thats exactly what I was thinking...

 

yeah but you're finicky

 

I'm here, I'm here!!!

I think it looks awesome.

I sure wish Ford'd get a clue re: colors. Esp. Emberglo/burnt orange metallic sunset candy clearcoat... Well, I think that last would be an awesome color... AKA Vixen from Australia.

 

that's a lot of $$ for a custom paint job only to keep the stock wheels

 

He could just be starting out modding the car............

 

Maybe he's just finicky.
