Congrats. I would have taken the green one first also! Then the white one. Black is way down my color choice list. Shows dirt fast, dust, dimples and scratches. But that's just me.

I'm old school and like cars with color. I am not a fan of the current trends that favor white and black, and the colors they do have are not very interesting. Currently Subaru has a silver with a slight blue tint to it, which isn't bad.

Other experts in restorations have identified the base grey.....some Fleet color. I went and had that mixed, then bought some stock colors to try and match my particular cars undercarriage.
Those FS vehicles are a "Fleet" color.Pirating – Corporate Takeover without the paperwork -

Back in the late 80s I worked with a guy who had one of those. But not as cool of a paint job as that one.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

A short update. Been learning the Subaru way bit by bit, so far i like it. Was gonna shut off all the warning stuff, but decided to let it chirp at me until i figure out what it all means. I'm finding it chirps less and less the better i drive. Method to their madness? Favorite feature so far - adaptive cruise control (after I figured out how to set following distance, works fabulously). Second favorite feature - that 3.6 engine is the bomb! One gripe - on center steering is a lot looser than my GMC. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but for now I have to be real attentive.

We liked the Subaru, but will probably be getting the Toyota Highlander. Didn't like the Honda or Hundai versions

Interesting on the wheel covers on that photo. I'm into Shelby's. Those wheel covers look like 1968 Shelby factory wheel covers, but with 1966 Mustang "Spinners" on them.....
The stuff car geeks notice......
I was thinking about trading/selling my 08 Mustang GT Vert, for a Subaru. But my 21 year old diesel truck is in ROUGH shape (paint, interior.....questionable how much longer the weak-link, the transmission, will last......200,000 on it now). SO....with a looming inheritance......2020 F250 Super Duty is starting to look possible!....and I could keep the GT.

MOST Shelby's were probably delivered with standard wheels and covers. The 1965 GT350 standard wheel was a steel wheel off a station wagon. 1966, started having mag style options. But a lot of muscle cars were delivered with the cheap wheels. People would option out for higher horsepower. Wheels and tires were considered "factory junk" to be replaced as soon as you boil off the tires....maybe before. Our not-muscle 1969 Mustang still has painted steel wheels with dog dish "hub" caps (only covers the lug nuts). Lots of Boss Mustangs came like that. Our 1970 Cobra Jet Mach 1, came with black steel wheels and "fake mag" style no-cost wheel covers. They actually look decent. But they are in storage for some radials and mags.Pirating – Corporate Takeover without the paperwork -

when i said no to all the extras, the finance manager at subaru actually told me i was taking the food out of his children's mouths. since he'd already told me about the great bar he frequents after work i jokingly suggested that might be the reason his children are starving. he laughed, but i think he was wondering if i was kidding or not. anyway, i heard nothing more about extras.

Last Subaru we bought, we went for the most basic package we could get. The add ons in the higher packages are mostly decoration and technology crap. My wife does insist on leather seats, however. They just feel nicer to her. So we bought the base car, immediatly took it to an aftermarket car upholstery shop to get the seats covered in leather that looks identical to the factory leather. The only other add on she wanted was the rear bumper 'luggage protector' that I bought for a few bucks and put on myself. Saved thousands this way and did not end up with a bunch of unnecessary crap.“Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
the saddest are these, 'It might have been.”

When I bought my Subaru I actually had them remove some options I didn't want and they lowered the price accordingly.
But I did have them install a trailer hitch and a dog barrier behind the rear seat. My wife thought the dog barrier was mean to the dog until I told her that in the even of an accident the dog was less likely to get injured if it wasn't flying around in the car. And the trailer hitch was for mounting a bicycle rack. -

My wife gets the new cars, for myself I buy old ugly cars to save money and then run them into the grave. I'm actually tooling around in my daughters 1994 Volvo 850 today getting it ready to pass another years inspection.
I( don't know what I am going to do when it is time for my wife's next new car. I don't want any of that 'driver assist' technology. I don't think it is possible to get a Subaru anymore without it. I have no desire to drive a car that thinks it is smarter than I am.“Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
