If I had my druthers, I wish our two Machs were white and yellow, two of the rarest colours in the Mach spectrum (and I hate white cars, but the black stripes are a nice contrast). I like orange too as vehicle colour, but the CO Ford offered is bland. No where near in comparision to the orange offered on today's Challengers.

Go yellow!

Re: Why is Yellow Hated soo bad?

The first time I bought a yellow car was in 1977. I had my 73 Red Mach 1 at the time and was driving by a Pontiac dealer. Out in front was a 78 Firebird Formula in yellow. It wasn't just the yellow that caught my attention, but the sharp style, very noticeable black tape accents along the lower side, and the dual hood scoops ( a preference of mine back then even if they weren't functional). I wasn't looking to buy a yellow car, but that car was an absolute stand-out.

The ZY Mach 1 was the only car I've seen since then that captivated that same combination of style, black accents, and color. It was 77 all over again, but a Mach 1 this time replacing an F-Body (96 Z28).

Yellow will never be a mainstream color, but when done right and with black accents, is stunning. Let the masses drive their popular colors. I like my yellow just fine.

lol, i'm sure though the price your mach would sell for over there would be way more than the states, lets just say a good investment for you
