Actually, my lime gold 66 could have been considered a kind of a legend at Northport High School during the mid-seventies. We called her ‘Sally’. My best friend Allen used to sing that song in his R&B band, sometimes with a few modified lines about our escapades. Sally was the vehicle of choice (okay we didn’t have a choice most of the time) for long lunches or when we cut school to go to the beach. Not many of our friends had cars when we were 16, but I had her because I worked late nights after school and needed to get back and forth. She was great, and we had some great times. I remember racing Bob Hayhurst in his Impala and winning by a few seconds.

…That’s a story coming down from the past, but one that is verifiable.
A legend in my own mind?
Yes, but you can ask Tom Haynes or Boston - they were there.

 

And how soon will we be able to see it?

 

The lime color is kinda growing on me.But so far ive yet to see one in person so ill have to wait and see if this is the color for me.

Would anyone have a pic of a V6 with the stock wheels?

 

Legend Lime is an alliterative term like Grabber Green, Tahoe Turquoise, L-L. G-G, T-T etc. etc. It doesn't mean anything per se. To my eye it looks a little grayer, and a little less green than the Lime Frost of old.

 

i saw a V6 stock at a dealer yesterday..still looks hot

no pics tho sorry :\

 

Yeah, I thought I wanted Legend Lime but had to see it in person first. I finally located one a couple weeks ago and and now there's no question, Legend Lime it will be, it's really stunning in person. Not at all similar to my first car, a '75 Maverick that truly was pea slime green. Man, I'm glad that car is distant history.

 

 

Here's a pic of a LL V6 car. Beautiful!

 

I'm just wondering if next years color will have more green in it? Or is it just a name change?

 

I had a 1967 Lime Gold 289 brand new in '67. THat was the official name of the color back then. It was a great car -- got me through college and grad school. Eventually needed something a little bigger and because I could not afford 2 cars I had to sell it, a decision I have regretted ever since. Legend Lime is very close to Lime Gold-- almost identical. When I saw the new one in person I ordered mine the same day. Waiting anxiously for it to arrive. Hope it cures all my years of longing for my old one. Of interest is the fact that many of the original Lime Gold cars that you would see around had "redline tires" with Magnum 500 wheels--A great look. So if you want the real retro look Legend Lime with aftermarket redlines is the way to go. Sorry for the long thread.
