Found this pic on a Mustang site... they were talking about the Performance Blue color availability on 2019 GT350/500.

That looks great. The pics are deceiving. When I left the Texas State Fair, I was sold on PB after seeing it on the Edge. Recent pics have made me a little nervous. Hopefully it will ship soon. My sticker still says 11/02 and it still hasn’t moved to “Awaiting Shipping”. Hopefully the Ford connection will give good news soon.492ba689ef326a156c66134813c89c9e.jpg

I think by Friday/Monday it should be shipped. If they build 220 a day. 2 weeks is 2000. So that means yesterday would be 2000 raptors they have mad roughly. Give it 4 days room. I think Monday ish

I hope so. I would love to pick it up next Friday. The new pic of PB has gotten me excited again.

So reading all the posts here and on Blue Oval, they need to build 2,000, get NHSSA certification (whatever that is), and go 5 days without issues.....if all of this is true and there are no bigger issues. I am glad for all of the info, but it may have been easier just waiting until the 18th, lol.

My dealer said it would be ready the week after the 18th (the 18th is what the Ford site says). FP says it will be delivered between the 12th-18th.

Regardless, it would be great if everything moved forward this week. I hope you are right.

Regarding PB... the recent pics had me go into my dealer to change the color. He talked me out of it. This "in the wild" pic is what I thought it would/should look like. Hopefully this is the real deal. Im sure in some light, it will be a bit lighter, bit baby'er than I want, but this looks awesome.

Now that's exactly what I'm expecting PB to look like. The photos that have been shown are a little deceiving (no one's fault), since JPG images tend to be brightened during compression. And also the design of the color is also meant to shift hues based on light/angle, though not nearly as much as liquid blue (GT).

I'm still going off the paint samples I was given from the dealer when I placed my order. Here's a photo of VB and PB samples side by side. (Please excuse the vice grips holding down the card, since I had to fold it to line up the two blues) My garage has the brightest lights in the house, but still a touch dark. However, I consider it to be closer to BIG TIME BALLER's photo than the other PB pics posted.

Wow it looks nothing like the actual performance blue. Sometimes it’s good to just wait but oh well.. I know I couldn’t
