One of the Continental Mkllls I have is in this color. At first I found it rather shocking, but over time I sort of appreciate the way the light flops the color. That said, if it was 1971 and I was looking to buy a 1:1, I don't think I'd be driving this one home. Any of you have a similar reaction?

A gorgeous color. I have to disagree; this is one I would really want in a 1:1, the color is distinctive.

GORGEOUS! They had a Medium Green and Bright Aqua in '71. That looks closer, to my eye, to the Bright Aqua and reminiscent of Miami Dolphin colors, less the orange.

Rich, IMO the color is great...those wheels tracks, however, are not so great (a bit wide!)

I like it too. I just sold a 1979 Mark V in turquoise.

I wouldn't have this car, I would have gotten a '70 Monte Carlo... oh yeah, I  did! 

It had a 300 hp 350 with  AC and am fm stero with the strato bucket seat and center console interior.

@jcarnutz I agree with you John.  For me anything that is different than all the rest is what I would want.
