Can anyone provide background on this color?
...I almost ordered my 05 in this color because my 66 was the same (as far as I know). I kinda like it, but didn't know if I liked it that much.
Was this color a copy of the 'avocado' appliance color made popular in the mid-sixties? What really is the legend behind the lime?!?

Lime is definitely my favorite 
I adore it. The more you stare, the more you like it!!! BUT Hubby will not drive around in what he calls a pea soup green car. Therefore, after dissecting all the colors I gotta get silver because I in turn won't drive yellow..... (we went the merry go round on 7 of the 10 colors).
Ford should do one retro per year- limited edition or not, the unusual ones(comp orange can you hear me?) are spectacular.

Perhaps a reminder of days gone past when green **** carpet was popular! My parents had a red '66 Mustang coupe. However, my dad was one of eight kids and one aunt of mine had a '68 lime gold Mustang, another aunt (still has today) a lime gold '67 or '68 Couger XR7, and yet another aunt had a '7? Green Gran Torino. I am hooked on the legend lime as it brings back good memories. I won't be ordering until at least this time next year so it may be lime gold color by the time I order... (Off to Operation Iraqi Freedom for one year).

I just ordered my GT in legend lime. When I saw it in pictures I thought it was a kind of a strange color, that was until I walked into the dealer and saw one in the showroom. I fell in love with it and ordered one the following week. I don't think you will be seeing to many of them on the roads, it is definetly different......

Yeah, I love Legend Lime too!
My sister had a Mustang back in the late sixties in the same color. I think it's cool that Ford deceided to bring back this color. B)
Brad put some more Legend Lime V6 pics on. Even if you want a GT you should look at this page. Legend Lime galore!

I have a legend lime sitting in my garage right now. It is snowing out, so I am left to getting my fix on the computer. It is a great color, that really goes well with the retro styling.

Very nice! Any Mustang looks good in Legend Lime!
A question though. Is the "Lime Gold" color for next year going to be any different from Legend Lime, this year's color?

Back in 67-70 Lime Frodt was the most popular color.
In the future I'd like to see Emberglo and or Tahoe Turquoise:

Yeah, great color - different. Okay, but what is the 'legend'?
Was there somebody who raced a 67 lime stang and beat a red 327 Camaro once on a hot August night. But it was a race that ended in tragedy when a child stepped into its rain slick path. Narrowly missing the clueless kid, the car left the pavement and went off into a ..cornfield.
Yeah and locals say that you can still see the car during thunderstorms on that same road. :shock: :shock:
