2010 Grabber Blue Shelby Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I got GB with white on order. I wanted something different and that would pop. I think that the grey is nice, but it is a safe blend-in color. No offence, just my opinion. Go with something bold and "in your face"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked torch red w/silver,but GB with red was my favorite.I keep my car 5/6 years,and red will be easier to sell--but I agree GB/Red is bolder,and is Carroll Shelbys fav,after Richard Pettys Nascar Dodge.Oll attach a rendering of that color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Gorilla Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 That hurts my eyes. Stick with gray/silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning Blue Star IV Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Given the choice between the Blue/Red or the Grey/Silver - I'd take the Grey/Silver. I love the grabber blue color in itself..but with that red...it just ruins it for me - sorry to say. How about just getting a Grabber Blue with no stripes?

But it is 2 much Blue without something to cut it. IMHO :happy feet: Cobra010 I am with you on the Blue Red afraid I would tire of it. I ordered Blue/White.

Burning Blue Star IV Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hi Cobra010 - Yeah, I wouldn't personally get Grabber Blue with no stripes but I thought maybe tdusseau would prefer it. Definitely GB with white stripes is for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burning Blue Star IV Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Thanks, hope to see mine next week :happy feet: Cobra010 Very happy for you Cobra010. I hope you plan on posting lots of pics since we've got the same car ordered! I need to see photos to keep me going through the waiting process for mine. Me and the fellow board member "Alaska" ordered our cars on the same day - his is supposed to be built near the end of the month. I'm hoping mine is around that time. He got in touch with his dealer...I haven't for a couple weeks. I will definitely be working the phone on Monday however. I just want a little good news!

I'm expecting delivery of a grabber blue and red next week and i can't wait. I had a '70 grabber blue mach 1 - and as someone said, it's an in your face color so reminiscent of the muscle car years .

I had a '70 grabber blue mach 1 - and as someone said, it's an in your face color so reminiscent of the muscle car years . I am sure you will post some pics for us. I like the GB but it is much w/o stripes. I just want to see this combo under natural lighting and not the PR pictures you see all the time. Well the order has yet to be picked up by Ford so I might have some time yet. 3rd choice would be Black w/ Red. Guess I will wait until a "real owner" pic showes up and make my choice then....if I still have a choice by then ..lol ps. How long does it take for Ford to "pick up" a waiting order? This is my first special order so I have no idea about the timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVTpower Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 stick with your grey/silver. Seen the blue locally on a GT and I wouldn't order it.........it's too much blue.........looks like a large pastel crayon going down the road. My opinion of course.

Hey Thanks very nice of you :happy feet: If I can figure out the photobucket or whatever it is I will be glad to post some. Pretty neat to see 2 fellow SVT soon to be owners from Alaska :happy feet: Best of Luck hope you receive yours soon. Cobra010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my first special order so I have no idea about the timeline. I think the Blue with Red is pretty cool, but I think I would tire of it. I ordered Grabber Blue with white stripes. I think there are sevral color combos which would be different but nice. Kona and Silver, Red and Black, Red and Silver, Black and Red just to name a few. I like Bright colors for hot Cars, have a Zinc Yellow Mach 1 now. Again as always just my Humble Opinion. :happy feet: Cobra010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
