I just loved the looks of a B2 so much more than the B9...I've always loved the Hockey Stick stripes over the hood. ...and YELLOW actually became my favorite color on the 69-70 Bosses & Mach 1's. My first love of Mustangs actually was of a 70 B9, Grabber Blue with white interior and so when I began searching for my first car at 16, THOSE B9's, B2's & Mach's were my high-hopes. I ended up getting the 67 GTA I am restoring today instead...Good starter car for a 16 year old. I did a basic restore on it within the first year I had it. My 2nd Mustang restore at 18 years old was a '67 fastback (junkyard find in '79) that was painted this same yellow with black '68 GT stripes louver black-outs & flat '67 hood. I bought it wrecked & stripped bown,(no engine & all remaining good front sheet metal was unbolted or cut off, towers forwards) I began the "restore" by installing a 302 J-code, toploader 4 speed conversion & using a Mach 1 hood scoop I did a hood black-out on raised area of the hood and also use '68 fenders (I removed the front side lights from them) and then installed a perfect woodgrain dash from the '68 XR7 donor parts car I had gotten the J-code out of...It looked ALMOST as sweet as your yellow B2 looks! (I'm still LOVE the B2's & 9's) TOTAL OUT OF POCKET COST TO BUILD WHAT IS PICTURED BELOW in 1979...about $830 US! (now my dad & I had bought the salvage yard this Mustang body is pictured in front of & the "stripped" body was I guess "not free" but I paid nothing extra to "aquire" it.)
... That is when I fell in love with this color of YELLOW... LOOKING GREAT!!
btw, I SOLD this yellow '67 for something like $2,200 in 1981...Still kicking myself
