Watching Mecum Auctions today and noticed the awesome 1970 Boss Mustang in Grabber Blue. Apologize in advance if this has already been discussed but is the 2013 Grabber Blue a slightly different shade? The 1970 Grabber Blue appears a shade lighter.

Thanks.

 

Maybe it faded from age.

 

Different type of paint, different prep work different formula?

 

Yeah...looked that one up on the Mecum site. Says it was a full nut and bolt restoration. So..I don't think the paint was faded. How much did they sell that bad boy for?

 

$225,000 I believe.

 

That's pretty amazing right there!! Can't wait to hear what that 1967 Super Snake brings. They kept saying a seven figure car. Maybe I'll get to see it in the museum at MMP this fall.

 

The 225k car was a 429 Boss. The 302 boss went for 75 I think.

 

In the recap of the top ten highest selling cars for the Houston auction...they said the 1970 Grabber Blue Boss 302 went for $220,000. Maybe the announcers got it wrong...but Wow!! That's a ton of money.....right up there with the 429's. I've seen some very nice examples that were sold for $70-80K. I suppose since this one was a fresh resto...it commanded more money.

 

My brother just finished a full restoration on a 70 mach1 in grabber blue. When are weather gets better around here we plan on getting my boss and his mach together and take some pictures. I will post them it will be interesting to see how close they are. One thing for sure is his paint job is a lot nicer.

 

That will be an amazing picture! Can't wait to see it.
