Ding Ding. Ford named the GT project Petunia to keep a low profile.

You're up Jay.

You got it. From a Ford website:

The Mustang was offered in six grabber colors: Grabber Green Metallic, Grabber Blue, Grabber Orange, Grabber Green, Grabber Yellow and Grabber Lime.

'91 was the first year for the 16" pony wheels, so I'll say '91.

Edit* I forgot that the SVO had 16's in '84, so maybe that is it.

'91 is correct, the '91-'93's used the updated fenders. Your turn Rather B. Blown !

Correct. The 427 in '64 was what I was looking for.

You're up.

Not that I know of. As best as I can remember they were sold "over the counter" like a crate engine for about $2800. I could be wrong though. Enlighten us HOSS, I'm sure you know if anyone does. (I would love to have a dump truck full of them now)
