Default My 1997 Blue 4.6L V8 Coupe

So about 6 months ago the transmission in my Beretta stopped staying in gear and it was time to get a new car. I picked this up at auction with 117,000 miles on it. It's been repainted (badly), but it's in pretty decent shape otherwise. I haven't done much to it other than maintenance (tires, etc.) and changing the taillights, but I plan to change the headlights and side mirrors soon and maybe pick at a few other things like exhaust when money is available. Anyways, here she is:

It's an automatic. I'm thinking about putting a hammer/ratchet shifter on it. I've seen the B&amp;M one installed into my car in pictures and it can be made to fit really well.

My car is what I'd call a good 5' car. When you start getting close you can see the flaws in the paint, which I think are questionable prep work more than anything. I've got drip marks under the spoiler, some weird lines in the passenger side door, and around some of the seam areas, the paint is peeling off. I've also got a few small dents which I'm pretty sure I can have bumped out easily that I want to get fixed sometime as well.

I love the color, I wish I actually knew what color it is. I'm pretty sure it's not a Ford color, but without knowing where it was painted, I have little idea how to figure it out.
