Starting in 1969 with the Shelby Mustang and then becoming available on the regular Mustang lineup in 1970, Grabber Blue paint was a popular sport model color. In 1974, the only Grabber paint option offered was a Light Grabber Blue, but this time on the new Mustang II body style. Grabber Blue came back in 2010-2014.
The first Blue Glow was offered in 1973, one year after other glow paint were offered as an option for extra charge. Silver Blue Glow was made available as the only glow color in 1975 and joined Tan Glow in 1976. The final blue glow color was offered in 1979, as Medium Blue Glow. Early glow paints faded easily in the sun due to the lack of good paint protectants. See our special Glow Paint page for more information on all glow Mustang paints available.
