Looks good.....BUT......I would go for lime green insets and stripes(which was a color option) OR Bright yellow. Black and yellow with wide exhaust pipes driving down the road like a angry hornet
Hmmm...black with bright yellow decal kit could be a sinister combination. International sign for danger, stay awayLooks good.....BUT......I would go for lime green insets and stripes(which was a color option) OR Bright yellow.

Yeah, it's strange how every other generation but 71-73 sported this combo. I'm conflicted about a repaint that is neither factory option or correct for my build sheet (Dark Green), but it's such a mean lookcigarguy, hope this is enough push to go from considering to committed. Like David posted, black was a standard color choice in 71 and a special order for 72-73 with black and argent as the only stripe color choices. The black exterior color fits our 71-73's like a glove and I wish had been a standard option for all model years. The black and gold combo should look great on your car. GM sure sold a ton a Trans Am's when everyone had "Bandit" fever.
I'm sure you have noticed since being here that everyone is good with recognizing that's it's your car, do what ever it takes to "Scratch your Itch"!
Ford has had several black and gold cars over the years that sold well. The black and gold Mustang II Cobra's, Black Magic Capri's, and of course the GT 350 Shelby's to name a few.
And Fabrice was kind enough to offer his 429 Mustang as inspiration. As he posted, just ignore the dents, rust, dirt and lack of shine!
Wow! Fascinating information. I have a Tuxedo Black 2008 Lincoln MKZ with no metalflake, the the 2010 Expo with the fire you describe. I agree the metalflake is a much cooler eye candy.kcmash, almost forgot about that black. Tuxedo Black Metallic (code UH) was a color that really sparkled in the sunlight with the multi colored metal flake. I had a 2010 Flex that color and wasn't really sure at first about my color choice. But once cleaned up and detailed, it shined like it was wet and sparkled like it had diamonds in the paint. And as you stated it was more forgiving of imperfections.
When the tsunami struck Japan in March of 2011, it destroyed the plant that manufactured a large portion of Ford's metal flakes including a patented substance called Xirallic. That material was responsible for giving a lot of Ford's red colors and Tuxedo Black the "Fire" that made them sparkle. After a year of restricting color orders and working on alternative colors, Ford began phasing Tuxedo Black out.
