Depends on what year mustang you have. My 67s is blue. I think 66s were blue and 65s were orange, not 100% on that though.

Call it orange if you want, but it Ford red.

BTW, that V8 is incorrect. The 65's had semi gloss black block and heads and gold valve covers and air cleaner base, the air cleaner snorkel it gloss black.
