I struggle with the weight some place on color and the build number of each being used almost solely to determine future worth. In full disclosure I do have a no stripe red car. I have been to numerous car shows and meets and as someone who likes all colors, I am always surprised how many people come up and say how much more they love the GT without the stripes. I understand the arguments that have been put forth by many regarding the number of each color built and the rarity of some colors but in the long term, I do not believe that is going to be the major factor in how the car holds it's value. Ford didn't make any pea green or doo doo brown GTs. I'm sure when they were all new sitting on the showroom floors, no stripe blacks commanded more money as they were harder to find. I think as time passes you're going to find pristine examples of any color are going to retain their value better than beat on examples of the fewer made colors. I didn't buy a GT as an investment nor do I think in 20 years I'm going to sell it for a million dollars. I doubt anyone with any color will be doing that. I do think that every color the GTs were made in have their own unique pop and that if you roll a clean example of any color(except pea green) up on the block 20 years from now, it is going to fetch more than just about any other car of it's era. Buy the color you like but I would not expect the premium you will pay today for some colors(Heritage excluded) to be a guarantee of future value.
