Nice!

 

Just picked her up this week.

 

Congrats Mick. What color is that int?

 

Ford calls it Dark Saddle. I liked the Guard / Dark Saddle combination.

 

Just picked up my custom order yesterday. Also went with the dark saddle interior.

Sales guys said Guard is being replaced for 2017.

I hope it isn't true.

 

Its good when Ford only does a color for a year or 2.... especially if you have one of those colors.

 

Well, I think including mine and not counting pictures, I've seen 3 Guard GT Mustangs. I have seen a number of ecoboosts and V6s.

 

Gaurd is like My Ruby Red. It looks fantastic when the Sun is out and it is clean. When the Sun is not out and the car is Dirty Not so Much.

 

I plan on ordering a 2016 in Jan/Feb and I was really leaning towards Guard.

My ...
1994 was Bright Blue
1998 was Chrome Yellow
2004 was Comp Orange
2011 is Kona Blue
and my
1969 is Calypso Coral (real close to Comp Orange)

I had not really seen Guard up close in person until I saw a 2015 Fusion in Guard at my local Ford dealer and was not all that impressed. We were there to look at this Fusion and a 2014 in Sunset Metallic & the dealer had them sitting side-by-side for us. Both were base model SE's with no other factory options. The Sunset 2014 had Dealer added Remote Start and 11.5k miles on it and the Guard 2015 had only 2.5k miles. We ended up buying the Sunset one and saving $1900 ... my wife liked this color so much better that if the '15 had been the one in Sunset, we would have paid the extra for it !!

I was glad she picked the Sunset as I did not want to have 2 Guard colored Fords in my garage next spring ... but we then went into the dealer to do all the fun paperwork stuff and there is a 051A V6 in the showroom in COMP ORANGE, which I'd also not seen up close / in person yet. The '15/16 body looks sooooo much better in Comp Orange than the new edge SN-95 body did that I'm real tempted to go back to that now. My 3rd choice was DIB which is quite different than my current Kona, but it would still be 12 years straight of driving dark blue Mustangs.

Last green car I had was a '96 Windstar and it was a nice shade (though popular on Windstar's at the time) which we got rid of in 2003.

Really want to like Guard, so I'm going to have to find a Mustang to see up close in person before I make that final decision in Jan/Feb !!

So far from what I've seen from my own photos is that they don't do it justice. It never captures the green in the paint that well.

Seeing it in person would be your best bet.

 

Sweet Car!
