Yucatan Yellow Correct Craft??

Steve,

I just spoke with the guy at the FG repair shop. He is interested in finding more paint, so if you have any luck, let me know.

What the can reads:

Nason Full-Thane
2K urathane
6282IB
Car/National/Fleet
Red

No paint code.

Ok here it is then.

62, my friend with the Wildcat called last night to tell me that the paint can is at a boat shop that is doing fiberglass work to the wildcat. I'm trying to contact the shop to get the brand/code. Hopefully, it's on the can.

Sometimes the depth and breadth of knowledge on this site is simply beyond comprehension

"So what's the difference between a Creamsicle and a Dreamsicle?

The sherbet-like shell of the Creamsicle is identical to that of the Dreamsicle, but the payoff inside is ice cream in the former, ice milk in the latter. The difference in price, last time I checked, was about a nickel."

Yeah Larry,
I kinda like all one color hull with the white interior...

With a white deck ,I think I would want more orange in the interior,with white piping / accents. Could be hard to match "oranges"?

Pete, Whats a dreamsikle?

You mean something like this. I really like this one.

Either way a paint sample is a good way to start. GO ORANGE!!!!     (i think)

It does have the white deck. It is I believe a 69 or 70 and is not the SS. I don't remember ever seeing any SS's sold by our dealer up there, Watercraft Sales. The interior is that real light beige with the same color piping. I'll see if I can get into their boathouse when I'm up north next which won't be until Christmas. I don't think the style of the interior will be exactly the same as the 66. I think the 66 would of had just the padded upholstered side panels (hardboard inside) without the fake trapizoid side pockets that may have been added in 68. The floor and the base (as in shoe) would have been the same. The actual seats in the 66 were plain white I beleive.

Hey Gary...when that lite gets closer...hop on the train. I am riding on the retirement train and sure do enjoy the ride so far.

Which color Freeport are you referring to? Theres none in the '66 brochure and no turquoise Freeports that I could find in any of them.

Im not a huge fan of the turquoise either, especially on an SS. Something bright would look good on one of those boats- Id say tangerine is a good choice.

Paul,
You gotta get some pics and tell us the story behind the 67!

Riley,
If you get a chance, could you see what the Wildcat used for paint, and the code?

Thanks!

62 wood ...... There is a 67 Mustang, Yucatan yellow, here in NC. It is on Lake Tillery, near me. ALL ORIGINAL, perfect condition, hanging in a boathouse and still driven by the man that took delivery at the plant in 1967. It still has the protective clear plastic covering on the interior parts of the boat.....the storage on the sides. I am going to try to help the owner get it in the diaries section before November. He has a neat story behind his ordering the boat and taking delivery!
