Default Grabber orange color

Hi All,

I keep seeing this color on line and am loving it more and more. How many model years was this available beyond 2005-2007?

I love my vista blue but If I get a GT again someday I totally want this color! If not this I'd have to settle for vapor metallic or sterling grey.

I believe if was 07-09 only, someone correct me if I'm wrong. It is a fairly rare color to find at a dealership, I've only seen one other GO for sale on a lot. Legend Lime is the only color I know of that is even harder to find. You might have the best luck searching online.
It's a beautiful color. I get so many compliments everywhere I go. Of course since it's orange everytime I go to Hooters, the girls want to take pictures with it! Only time I have issues is when close to a school bus as GO is the exact same color. Here's a few pics to help you decide!

A buddy of mine has a grabber orange with black accents. It's a great looking mustang!

Hi Ricardo, thanks for the pics...especially the last one!

Yes I agree it is a rare color, I've only seen one on the road before and the guy added black GT500 stripes to the hood/roof/trunk. I saw one at a car show too that a guy supercharged the 4.6L. I think American Muscle has a 2005 in their stable...don't know if its original GO or not.

I think that would be a cool thread...all grabber orange pics *goes to start it*. Ricardo I'm expecting you to be the first poster ok?

Tom

I have a 2008 GO and I love the color!! It doesn't seem to show dirt or road grim as bad as other colors do which I really like as well. Only thing I don't like is that it's hard to find accent parts in this color,I'm currently looking for a shift **** and boot that's GO.

Awsome info & links steel pony! Great pic too!

Okay then if G.O. was only an '07-09' offering what was the other orange color offered earlier (2005-2007)...was that called competition orange by chance?

That's a great looking ride! You did a fantastic job on that and I'm proud to be in the brotherhood of GO!

The color offered in 2005 you're thinking of is Screaming Yellow.

Ford reintroduced GO in 2013, unfortunately they finally recognized what we GO owners have always known and renamed it "School Bus Yellow". I think it's hilarious and my wife about died laughing when she pointed this out to me!

And starting a GO thread sounds like a great idea!

Did not know Ford re-named the color to "School Bus Yellow," that is too funny! This color is a real stand-out though, I love it!
