While the number of Mustangs built for 1986 alone is in the hundreds of thousands, this 5.0-powered, five-speed GT stands out thanks to its rare color combo.
Per the seller, this Mustang is one of just 73 to be finished in Dark Sage over a Sand Beige and Buckskin interior.
Sold new in California, the Mustang GT is accompanied by …
Gorgeous. The 85-86 is my favorite Fox Mustang.
I don't know that I have ever seen that color on a Mustang. Love it
yep, never seen one of those before

Same.
A great color though.
A 4-Eyed Bullitt! I like it.
{Ed McMahon} YES!
That's really cool. I'd drive the heck out of that.
Just here to add...never seen that color before. Absolutely cool.
WOW! New color for me--this was factory? Usually the car companies have a variety of colors at the time which are trending or even pre-trending the marketplace, but I didn't know this existed because I have never seen one in this color, ever, even when living in urban areas in CA. I had the opportunity to drive one (hard) years ago and I was impressed with the car back then--good fun 
Not sure about that color. It would definitely be fun to have something unusual.
Like a Bullitt before the Bullitt. er--after Bullitt. Between Bullitts. I don't know. 
Rare colors mean nothing to me, but that looks like a nice car.
I like the colour. Also my favourite Fox style. Not that I would pay much extra for 1 out of xx specs.
I like it. Sort of gives it a classy /European feel.
Even more rare are SVO's in Sage Green (color code 4E). There were 28 in 1985, 10 of which were built for Hertz rentals, and only 4 mid-year 85.5 examples. They are highly coveted by the SVO aficionados.
Since I'll probably never see one in real life, here's an AI Hot Wheels version. Sorry, can't get ai to render it with sweet 10-hole wheels.
I guess for me at 54, this is the quintessential Mustang. Older guys and gals like older Mustangs and younger guys and gals like newer Mustangs. But for me, the Fox has always defined what a Mustang is. This is true even though my father had a nice '65 notch 289 4-speed with Ralley Pack gauges. It probably doesn't help quench my desire either that in the summers of '86 and '87 while I sweated and slaved on the high-school football practice lot, our marching band "drum major" was cruising past back and forth to the Tastee-Freeze with 3 or 4 cheerleaders in a sleek '86 nearly identical to this one except bright red. The marching band was practicing too. I felt a bit of schadenfreude when he ran into a ditch and did quite a number on the front fascia. However, staying current with the car trends of the day, he simply added a "bra" to the front of it (remember those?) and it then looked none the worse for wear.
In reply to A 401 CJ :
I think cars from the '80s and '90s are a decent sweet spot for a lot of people: New enough that they are quick enough to enjoy driving, but old enough to have limited electronics.
