Vista is a great classic looking color for the B302. Very similar to the Acapulco Blue '69 B302.

5-0 Brian,

Are the order sheets giving you any info on what color the stripes can be ordered in?

Sonic blue was pretty common in 03-04 iirc. Lots of termis in that color. It's simar to kona without the color change iirc. I'm betting kona rolls on for a while but that looks so close to tuxedo black with a blue base I'm surprised kona continues.


I'm thinking with them being similar sonic may be there for when they run out of kb. Just a guess though and I'm betting it's only white. Ford usually pairs blues with white just look at the grabber blue gt500.

Who Knows........Maybe White. Only time can tell! I feel that you should purchase your Boss the color that you like and not even think which one will be the rarest and let that impact your color choice. Pick the color that you will enjoy driving. And drive it proud!!
The fact that a color is rare only means nobody wanted it. I think the use of the word "rare" is being used wrong. If something is rare because nobody wanted it, the value doesn't go up, it goes down.

The problem with this logic is a color that might not be popular now could become so in the future. It's like who would have ever thought of someone wanting an AMC Pacer.

Yeah, but are you going to pick out a color today that nobody wanted in hopes that they WILL 30 years from now?

I don't think it's a case of people not wanting YB. Many have expressed interest in the color. I just think many people are uncertain of the color. It's doesn't photograph well so people aren't really sure of what to expect. And with so few YB cars on dealer lots they can't get an up close look at it, so they opt for safer colors.

YB also doesn't look very good in dull, cloudy weather. It takes a nice sunny day to bring out the color.

It is more of a case of limited choice.

Having two colors rather than three makes it more appealing than the other Boss colors. Ford emphasis on choosing the two tone combo was based on those of its track heritage as opposed to the actual one color production with black accents.

Ford missed the boat in choosing to have the roofs painted a different color. That should have been limited to the LS.

Maybe the extra $495 deterred some potential YB buyers.

Good to see competition orange is still offered. That is the only color I would consider for a Boss. When I think of a Boss 302 Mustang, I think competition orange.

I think Vista would be a better color... and I personally think Vista > Kona > Sonic. Vista + white accents would be amazing. However, I might be a little biased.
