Bright Lime 1972 Ford Mustang Convertible Stands Out From the Crowd - Mustang 360
When Dale Wicks drives his dad’s Bright Lime Mustang convertible he gets more looks and thumbs-up from other drivers than anything he has ever driven, leading his dad Jim to describe his car as “the ultimate Pop. Jim is the founder and event coordinator of the Mid-America Ford & Shelby Nationals, held each June for the past 41 years in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and got this 1972 Mustang convertible on a trade-in for a 1966 Shelby G. T. 350H a couple years ago. ” In 1969, Ford introduced their “Grabber” colors, including Grabber Blue, Grabber Orange, and Grabber Green, adding Grabber Lime in 1971. At first, we thought this 1972 might be a Grabber color but not so, as Grabber colors ended in 1971. So, we... “More yellow” in Grabber Lime, Jim explained, adding, “This Bright Lime in bright sun looks very yellow, a lot like the Curious Yellow Mopar color. According to an Elite Marti Report, this 1972 model was an Order Type of Company Lease Plan for Ford Motor Company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The address is listed simply as Box 11600. Wicks guesses the 1972 was a Ford executive’s car, and we have to wonder if anybody remembers this showy Mustang from that area. Those old pictures will not show sides stripes or a ram air hood, however, as seen here, since a past owner added the ram air, which was actually available on the 351-2V that is stock on this car.
