Rare Colors

[ScreaminV8]

Hello! I am a new member and this is my first post. I sadly do not have a gt350.... yet. I do have a BMW E90 M3 6spd (V8 revving to 8400rpm), so naturally I loved the 350 and everything it stood for. I believe any color looks good on the 350, stripes or no stripes. However, I love brighter colors and more unique factory specs. My favorite I have seen on the internet is Race Red with blue stripes. Granted this seems to be a controversial color combo, but type in this spec for a gt350 and see how many show up... maybe 1 or 2. I also think orange with Kona stripes would look great. So if anyone has a unique color they would like to share or have pictures or a place to find the red and orange 350s with blue stripes that would be great! Thanks everyone!

I've seen Kona blue with red stripes.



Not sure I've seen it the other way around.

You will have a hard time finding a race red GT350 with blue stripes that came from the factory. If you do an internet search for production numbers of GT350s with that color combination from MY 2015 to 2018 you will see they made around 15 of them.

I believe the 2018 thru 2020 MY cars with that color combo is even less probably around 5.

Many times people spec that kind of combo is to try to get a 1 of 1 car.

Whatever makes you happy, but off the wall color combos should be because that is what you like, not to pursue some kind of rarity.

I can speak for the 2019's since I have the "2019 GT350 Total Production" print out... The Race Red was only produced with either black stripes or white stripes based on the Post-Production data.
Ford's "Stripe Offerings" sheet dated 10/17/18 indicates that Race Red was available with Kona Blue stripes. Apparently nobody ordered that combo for the 2019 model!
For the non-R's, the Kona Blue stripe was available on all colors except the three blue colors.
If you want a rare combo, they only made 2 Orange w/Blue stripes, and only 1 Ruby Red w/Blue stripes.
The R's had the Kona Blue stripe available on only three colors: Black, Magnetic & White.
The most common color/stripe combo is displayed in my avatar for the 2019's... they made 279 units.



TECHNICAL EDIT
I did some research, mine is a 1 of 1. I have the only known K2503 Chassis number... I'm adding a few zeros if I ever sell it...!

I found this page which shows most of the 350s

I agree, however I am not after rarity for value but more to have something unique that I can be happy with. it just so happens that some of the colors and combos I like are on the rare side.

Good to know! Thanks!

Find the base color your after and add the stripe color you want. There are several companies that make quality stripes(oem spec) for the 350 that can make them in any color you like. Most can match the color of stripes from the factory.

I owned a Race Red/Blue stripe base model and sold it to get my R. I would have duplicated that car but you cant get red pins on a red car. My good friend owns my 16 Base

That's awesome! Do you happen to have any pics from when you owned it?

I’ve seen a RR w/ blue stripes and our prior member @PP0001 had it. IIRC, it was a 2015 MY. His family would refer to it as the Spider-Man Mustang.

Funny story… when PP0001 and I talked about ordering our cars back in 2015, he asked me what color I would get if I ordered a Track Pack, and that was one of the two color combos I would’ve ordered, with AG and blue stripes being the other.

I got slotted a 16R, so that changed my ordering color.

I've always been a huge fan of Porsche/Audi's chalk (milky grey). When I saw my 18 for sale in that similar color with white stripes I jumped on it. Come to find out, only 43 made with white stripes on a 1 year color. Love not seeing another one around.

^^^Beat me to it.^^^
I thought magnetic grey, black roof and blue stripes was rare. Apparently not. I didn’t order it that way, just stumbled upon a ‘19 holdover in the summer of 2020.

That’s sweet! There was a solid Orange one, no stripes, at my local dealer years back and thought it was the sweetest spec. I wouldn’t mind having that color at all. I just love the contrast of blue stripes on other colors.
