I just recieved my 66 mustang from california yesterday. I decoded the VIN and all the stuff, but as I was taking down the number, there is no color code!! it is left blank, i have no idea what this means, i think my dad does, but what matters is, we cannot figure out what the hell the color is. It is sort of a metallic green. as far as everything else, it seems to be numbers matching, i havent had a chance to pull open the rear end, but haha seems all good, that going away anyway. I will either paint the car this color, or a 2001 acura blue pearl that i saw a fastback painted in car craft, it looked pretty cool. This mustang we got has a lot of rare options that we weren't expecting, it's pretty cool and it will end up bein a great car.

 

im not 100% sure but i think its a special paint color. im probally wrong though. nice car by the way

 

thanx, i kno it is a special paint color, i just want to figure out what it is, i ean would the car still be numbers matching if i painted it a different color, since there was virtually no color, or what? i'm quite confused, I know it hasn't beeen tampered with, every single thing on the car is original, up to the distributor cap and battery, absolutely everything, it hasnt been run in 18 years. i looked at all the various color on the internet and stuff, and i couldnt find anything. Also, i know for a fact that it hasnt been repainted, on the way from the car shippers delivery point we took it to a paint shop to get evaluated, he said it has never been repainted, and also that it is an extremely straight car and will come out wonderfully, which we knew. I just want to solve this little mystery, see what the color looks like when newly painted, and then maybe make my decision between the acura nsx color or this.

 

it looks like timberland green(highcountry special) i couldnt find a color code for it and it looks alot like your car i hope this helps

 

Hhahaaaa, I have been on he phone with 8 different people,turns out, my new mustang is a one of a kind special order paintjob. I will have to take it to a ppg place to find out the exact color, i knew it was not timberland green. I am going t have it registered with the horse of a different color registrar. quite a lucky find...

 

I'm thinking it is a High country special too. If you strip the fender look for three little holes to mount the emblem.

it is not a high country special. i talked with the registry, the vin means that it is a one-off special ordrr, definately not a high country special, the paint is metallic.

 

It is not a High Country Special. Although the '66 High Country Specials had blank color codes like this car, they were all destined for the Denver DSO (51) and had a scheduled build date of 15G (July 15, 1966). This car has a 72 DSO followed by a sequence number (3085), so it was a special order for the San Jose DSO.

I checked the Lincoln and Mercury paints on colorlibrary.com, but didn't find a decent match. It looks like a '65 color called Dynasty Green. Without a source of the original color like a build sheet or the original invoice, you'll have to computer match a protected surface.

 

Dynasty Green

my one, I do not think it is dynasty green, to me, it is looking like a one-off color. I looked through all the ford truck books of the era too. I do have a protected area inside the car. Inside and around the trunk is absolutely pristine. I just want to know, I think my car is a 1 out of 1 paintjob, I have never seen anything like it.

 

here is the most accurate area of color, although the picture isn't very accurate, i took it in a dark garage. look at the pic and then think of the color as slightly darker, slightly more lime green, and quite metallic. the color obivously shifts a little in th lights, as it looks silver when it is directly in the flash.
