Original color vs non original

[sprdv1]

Right Dave, if we only knew. I think I will put all the colors in a hat and draw one.

keep building up the herd right, then you can just remove the previously chosen color lol

decisions, decisions

If I were going to go for a solid green...I'd go Grabber Green. Throw a special decor black stripe on it for a that boss-ish look.

I do love that solid blue color though. The grabber Green I think is what Gumby's Bronco was on here. Herman something aruther was his name.

Was there a grabber green as original color on early Broncos?

A few years ago I would have said no, that Grabber colors were only for the hi-po cars. But apparently they did call it Grabber Green and 904Bronco here had a '71 recently in that color.
Color code "Z" on the '71 Truck color chart.

To my memory's eye, his was not as "eye popping" as the original Grabber Green Mustangs I remember, but it was still a cool color. And that's consistent with it being called "Grabber Green Poly" which in Ford-speak means metal flake. I could be wrong, but I thought the original Mustang Grabber colors were solid with no flake? And frankly more eye-popping too.
When I first heard he had a Grabber color I thought it was just one of those things where Ford used the same paint code, but for trucks called it something else.
Apparently not though!

Blue vs green. I really like both of these colors a lot. Have not checked the code on the green one, but pretty sure it is baytree green
