WOW! What a nice car, I'm blown away. Congrats!

That's the color I'm going to get, Legend Lime!

Sweet! I'm pretty sure Legend Lime is my color choice but I gotta see it in person. The photos look awesome. I plan on ordering the same car with Shaker 500 to be delivered in the spring.

Beautiful! I've looked at a Lime GT as well and really keep being drawn back to its color. Just wish it had the IUP is all.

Nice pics and congratulations!

Looks great, but I think white stripes look 1000x better on lime than the black ones.

Congrats I have to admit, I'm starting to like that color. Still have not seen one in person.

My 68's color was originally Lime Gold. My current 65's original color was Honey Gold. I wonder if Legend Lime is my destiny?

Thanks All! . . . I am very happy with it . . . Its sooo funny bcuz when ever I go some where and there are "older" men . . . that grew up in the 60's . . . they all run up to me and start telling me stories of thier lime green stangs or thier friends . . . a couple even tear up on me! I think its cool tho how we are all bringing the legend back in some sense. . . especially Legend Lime!

I agree - this new Mustang really has a profound effect on the Boomer generation as well as the young ones. It brings back so many great memories of times in our lives when Muscle ruled the streets and things were simple.

I love this car.

I had a guy ask me today, at the Homestead Busch Series race, if my car was a late 60's mustang. He noted the color and the wheels for his question. Alot of people also ask what color gold it is?

I went back to the photo chopper and looked at both white and black
stripes.....I love stripes on this car but I think the Legend Lime is
fine without them. Perhaps the concept hood for something different.
I'll have to see the Lime in person to be sure but here's hoping it
works out sweet.

The color looks so much better in person than in pics . . . I think it looks nothing like in the pics . . . its more silver/green . . . than lime. . . Im goin with black stripes since the interior is black . . . crossing my fingers that it will look good!

I totally agree - in person, the color is very, very attractive. It has depth and gloss that is really hard to pick up on in a picture, no matter how good the picture is.

In person, Legend Lime is awesome!

If they offered white leather interior.. I'd be all over it

Looks good Mar. Glad you didn't go with the tan interior.

Black stripe on Legend Lime doesn't look so great IMO.. white is the way to go

I have to agree with Amy on that. Check out some of the old Lime Gold Shelby pics before you make up your mind for sure. White stripes on the Lime '05 would be awsome. Congrats also!
