Oh shit yeah. Lots of cruising I'm sure. It's that shade of blue now, but it needs a paint job pretty bad. She wants to go with dark blue metallic, so we'll see how it looks.

I agree.  With the age of these cars and the status as collectables...stay original color.

BTW,  Ford never made an ALL-blue GT.  The original color of that car was 2-tone...with the titanium lower ground effects.  Just an FYI

Really Mike? That's strange. I'm gonna have to look for evidence now, lol. And at the worst PJ, it'll be up and running by Ed Day. Hopefully by early April at least though, so she can break in the clutch and engine, and get some practice in.

And if it were my car, I'd probably keep it that color, or go two tone, but it's her car, so what she says is what it gets. Although I must say, it should look really nice in dark blue.
