Sapphire is a good name for your girl .
Sapphire Blue is very like this & was a 1966 350GT colour .

Great pick up, the guy I purchased the car off actually called the colour sapphire blue. He always loved the Shelby Sapphire Blue colour and when he painted the car that's what he was going for but he didn't get it quite right, but it is close.

Sapphire Blue (medium blue metallic) was a standard 66 Ford Thunderbird colour (paint code G) used by Shelby.  The colour was also a special order colour for 66 Mustangs.

That's a sweet ride charliekay , you must have a couple of bags of concrete in the trunk to get it that low. I have 2in reverse eye leaf springs with a 1in lowering blocks kit and its not even close to that. Wish I lived in Sydney to go to all your meets. Not much near Ulladulla.

Been a while since I posted here. Car has had some wheel and suspension changes recently. Took her out on the weekend and got some pics of her finished.

17x7 Rev Wheels all around. 235/45 rear and 225/45 front.

Needed to roll the guards at the rear, very minor rubbing on compression. Fronts rub but only at full hook at a decent speed, so don't need to roll them.
