Why do you think this car is missing the stripe from the side of the car (rocker panel)

My choice of those listed is white with red strips.

My top choice is the white with blue strips that serrotta mentioned.

The side stripe is an option as far as I know. The white one in the vid has a side stripe.

I think the silver one with just the over the top stripes is the best. Looks mean.

That should be a crime.

White with red stripes out of those you posted....but the grey black is sweet!

I dont know about the Shelbys but Ford was going to bring back Sterling Grey on the 2012's after not originally offering it. They ran short on some colors like Lava Red due the the Japan earthquake and needed a replacement.

This one is starting to grow on me, I would opt for a glass top no matter what color I choose. Choose 3 colors and put them in the order of what you would choose first to last.

Silver w/ Black stripes
Red w/ no stripes
Silver w/ Red stripes

I really don't like the 5 spoke wheel on that Sterling Silver pic either, I prefer the other wheel that the ones in the video and most of the pictures here have.

I was thinking the same thing but now I'm having second guesses.

If you were to look at it from a collectibility standpoint, I'd say the Grabber Blue would be pretty rare. I've seen exactly 1 and it was a V6.

What is the plan with the car? Drive it on occasion and maybe sell it 40 years down the road? All the old Mustangs that have any of the Grabber colors are very popular now.

No major plans maybe just a Sunday driver or here n there that's all. I was in love with the Grabber Blue at first but now I'm leaning more and more towards the White with no stripes but my probably with that is I believe a Shelby should have stripes and with that said the Ignot Silver with the black stripes that Harley Dude is talking about is sexy

I'm usually a fan of the "vintage" colors (I own a Grabber Orange GT) but have to say that Grabber Blue has never done much for me. The Kona Blue with white stripes that was posted looks awesome, or for a slightly more traditional take I'd do that same car inverse (Performance White car with Kona Blue stripes).....

Me personally....I kinda like the grabber blue but I dont think I would ever buy it. I feel after about 6 months I would walk out to look at it and think 'why did i get this color'??? I think I would quickly get tired of it. Its just like canary yellow...I like it but I think I would get tired of it fast.

Not sure if the GT500 comes in gray with silver stripes or not but I think that would be pretty sharp. Saw a new Camaro SS in that scheme and it looked really sharp!

The Kona blue with silver or white stripes would be pretty sexy too IMO.
