Pic request

Does anyone have pics of Meadowlark/Springtime yellow 67-68 Coupes?
I thought I was going to paint my 68 Coupe Grabber Blue, but now I'm torn between it and Meadowlark Yellow (my cars original color, that's hidden under about 4 layers of repaints).

Thanks!

Edit: I'll start first. This is a pair of Springtime 67's that I took pics of at the Mustangs Across America cruise.

In my opinion grabber blue is more suitable for 69-70 cars. It would look good that color, but I think a more classic color would look better. I'm not sure I would choose the yellow. However, It is a nice looking color. I guess its just not for me.

Here are some yellow ones.

I like the ivy green metallic or highland green or lime gold. I think there is also medium ivy green.

Acapulco and Brittany blue are good colors too.

Thanks for confusing me even more guys!

I over the idea of driving a Bullitt styled Highland Green coupe.
I also like Acapulco a lot.
Blues are my favorite colors. I also considered Sonic Blue like my 04 GT.

I would definitely like the Bullitt idea. Then paint it highland green and throw a set of torque thrusts on it. It might be kinda cool to keep the grille though. What color is your interior?

Blues are some of my favorite colors too. My car is caspian blue. I wanted a dark metallic blue so I looked at the 65 paint colors. It was originally twilight turquoise.

Sometimes I think it would have been cool to paint my car the original color, but I love it the way it is and wouldn't change it.

My interior is black, and I have 17 inch Bullitt wheels off my 04.

Here is what I'm working with:

I think that would look bad ass with highland green paint! You already have the right style of wheel.

I'm in central texas near Austin. Where is Savoy?

A little to the east of Lake Texoma, close to the Red River.

Yeah, I've thought about Highland Green before too, I thought a Bullitt styled coupe would be sweet. Also on every other forum/game my name is LtBullitt or Bullitt, and I don't even have one.
