Arrow 1971 Mach 1 Mustang, I need opinions about this color!

Hmm... which one is that? Ford had Grabber Lime, Medium Green Metallic, Grabber Green Metallic, these were 1971. It looks good, I'm just wondering which that is.

That's Grabber Lime and a great color I think, similar to what Chrysler offered around the same time. With the black out Mach trim and the black striping that car should look sharp and not blend in with others.

I will have to tell you I am partial to green though as it's one of my favorite colors along with blue.

Here's a link with pics of the other colors for 1971, 1971 Mustang Colors

Grabber Lime is great. I put Medium Ivy Green on my '73. If you go with a light color stripe it black. If you go with a dark color stripe it silver (argent).

I've seen too many stripe jobs that don't have the "POP" because the owner matches them wrong.

The color you posted will definitely stand out.

i mean i love blue, that's my favorite color, but i want the car to stand out. Since it is one of the original colors it's one of my choices.

That'd be a showstopper for sure. I like to Dark Green, as well, but I like green so go figure.

I have a grabber lime Boss 351. It looks soooo good with the black stripes. Definitely stands out. I vote for the grabber lime! I have also see the grabber blue, and it looks nice too.

No offense to you Grabber Lime owners, but I used to have one back in the '70's and I didn't care for it at all.

My favorite by far is the grabber yellow with the black stripes. One of my sisters boyfriends had one like that when I was youngster. That one has always struck me as my favorite in those years
