Thumbs up Rarest color from factory?

Hello,

I know we've covered the rarest make/model of truck on this site, but does anyone know what the rarest factory color from the production line was? Solids or two-tones?

Thanks

No kidding. I mean, I like to poop, but I don't want my truck to look like it.

Probably the Explorer Special Colors.

Grabber Blue
Burnt Orange
Jade Green
The other green, that I forget the name of....

Along with the year specific pin striping...

Yeah, what might have been Explorer specific in 1973, could have been a standard color choice by 1979.

you forgot Medium Vasquero Poly (Metallic) it is the rarest of all those I believe. With the orange pin stripping

I stole this from your gallery 81-f150-explorer



Dennis I believe told me it is the rarest color option (with that pin stripping) there is
