Bill, Here is a 70 Grabber Green GT 500 that we finished last summer. If you would like I can get you additional pictures from a variety of angles that show the color. The current pictures on my site are prior to the restoration.I will be updating the site soon to show the last three Shelby's that we restored. I hope this helps.

How Smokes David, there you go putting an early end to my mind exercising a/o numbing tirade. So now folks can assess for themselves a number of questions before the group: 1) Do they like the color? 2) Could they put up with the color on their car? 3) Would it be easier to love if it was the only color their Shelby could or rather should be? I'll go first: 1) Fresh Grabber green looks good, it's not a pastel or grassy green, it's a grab ya by the jewels and kick your hiney kindda green. Old, aged grabber green resembles a novice sailer in a gale. 2) Grabber Green isn't my favorite color, but not many greens please me. 3) If my car was originally Grabber Green I could live with it, if it didn't grow on me I'd look into trading for a like car in the color I like with cash to boot. Now saying that, my car was originally Ivy Green, and the only way to get a darker car is go with black. Just too dark for me. I'm going with a Ford Green Teal they used on another model that same year, including one of the GT-40s. Purity be damned. Maybe I'm just rebelling against pulling in and having several other cars just like mine. My car will never be a museum piece. Some cars led a ginger enough life to become one, or find themselves into the hands of someone willing to invest in making it so. My car and I aren't there. We can look at any one of our cars and find a unique history. I'm willing to have mine subtlely show that at a hundred feet instead of just in the 32 point script used on a display board resting on it's bumper. If it's an "investment" more so than a "personal" belonging, then originality of color is as important as the other physical aspects of your car. Folks will say, "It's your car, damn it; do what you want to do." Paint's easier to change than torched sheet metal and with escalating values, paints jobs even as costly as they can be are becoming an ever smaller percentage of the total cost/investment. You need to do with the car what makes you feel good about owning it. After all, isn't that what drove you to buy one?
