Put Boss 302R stripes on it and it looks real good.

LMAO,

I love the Grabber blue (not at all biased of course) had another car a few years back which was almost identical in color

It tends to create a love it or hate it reaction, you dont get many people sitting on the fence.

It does attract a lot of attention still though, people often ask me about it

Yes sir, its Superlight R500 :-)

It was number 48, built to my spec, colors etc I picked it up from the factory.

It was one of the original K series cars so not quite as quick as the new ones, iirc 0-60 3.6sec 0-100 8.2secs, but certainly no slouch LOL

I'm on the fence with Grabber Blue. I like it, but I don't think I'd buy it. I feel like I'd get sick of it after a few months. Probably the same with Yellow Blaze. Awesome colors, but I don't think I would enjoy them over the life of the car. Red Candy and Kona Blue are two colors I could "live with". Sterling Gray, I love to death, but IMO, Ford's grays don't age well. No offense to anyone here, but Mineral Gray looks "old" to me. I like DSG a lot better.

Atlantis Green would make me fall in love though. For some reason those really dark greens call to me (DHG as well). Anyways, yes Captain Obvious, Grabber Blue stands out! LOL ...

And yes Jason, I know you're gonna pull some poon with that Glass Roof. As soon as I sat in a 2010 with it, the first thing I thought was "this would be SO worth it to show off to the ladies"...

Grabber Blue is the ****. I've owned mine for nearly a year and every time I see another one go by I still think to myself "holy crap, that's the color of my car". Love it. My wife actually liked this color the best. I was going to pick something not as flashy but now it's my favorite part of the car.

You do know it was called Grabber Blue back in the 70s, right?
