Default Does your Stang still wear its factory color?

I have three '68 Mustangs, but only one has a color change. How about your cars?

'68 Fastback - Was originally Sunlit Gold, but painted Wimbledon White in '86 before my purchase.

'68 Coupe - Originally Lime Green with a black vinyl top and it currently remains the same.

'68 Coupe - Originally Highland Green with a black vinyl top and is currently being painted the same color, but the vinyl top will not return.

I have one, and I did have a parts car too.

68 coupe, originally Acapulco Blue and still is Acapulco Blue with one repaint long before I bought it in '98.

68 coupe parts car, originally Lime Gold and still was Lime Gold (badly oxidized, faded) when I pulled it from a field.

My '67 was originally Vintage Burgundy and was painted BMW's version of Candyapple Red, in 1993, a few months before I bought it.

My 66 came from the factory in Wimbledon White with a red pinstripe around the c-curve. Courtesy of the previous owning family and some vandals my car is now wearing 3 different shades of Wimbledon White, but the pinstripe is no where to be seen, until I get it repainted, but I think I may have it repainted in Silver Frost.

My '70 sportsroof was grabber orange...previous owner painted it red and put the boss stripes on it. Would like to go back original, but will just leave it as it is for now.
My '66 coupe was originally Vintage Burgundy, but along the way, someone painted it white...am working on it right now with plans of going back with the "X" color

Every Mustang I have owned has either been it's original color or I returned it to it's original color while I owned it. I just have this thing about originality for some reason. Some of the more memorable ones were the 77 fastback in Bright Orange, 64.5 coupe in Rangoon Red, 64.5 conv in Pagoda Green and my 66 coupe in Sauterne Gold.

Mine is the original color Silverblue. The new name for this color in 2009 is PPG Iceblue Mettalic. I considered changing the color, but it was in great shape and goes well with my blue & white pony interior.

Mine was Wimbledon White but with the restomod it will be Calypso Coral with the Mach 1 paint scheme. Realy looking forward to that day because the primer green and grey is slowly killin me.
