I was thinking about getting my son this for his 17th birthday, is this color too girly for a guy to have?

Sorry i got to say these are all very girly cars. And any mustang newer than 1970 and with a engine smaller than a 351ci ( VERY GIRLY) no matter the color. I'll take any BIG BLOCK car of the 60's to early 70's even if its pink. My manly car 1979 Nova 454ci BBC 500hp, 550fbtq,3300lb,8mpg ,T-350 tranny w/308 gears, 0-60 4.9sec,1/4mile 13.1sec @110mph in second gear at 4,943 ft above sea level, top speed 140 give or take. 2 seats no ac,no heater 2 years to build on spear time totel cost of build $7k. Been driving for 3 years with out one issue ( rear tires seem to not last very long). PS buy a beater and build your car ( cheaper and way more FUN than any thing you can buy theese days)

Your son is very lucky.
I personally have a 2007 black Mustang as my first car (I am 21, bought it 6 months ago). I actually insisted on four things: V6 engine, automatic transmission, black exterior, and leather seats. (a V8 would be an insurance nightmare). My car, however, is not a convertible.
My second favorite choice is the dark red - there are two shades of red available for mustangs.
Sky blue is very good, especially for a convertible, but my preference is for black. It really depends on whether or not your son likes that color on that car. My reaction when I saw those pictures was "yes, that is a good car, I'd be happy to own it". Still, your son would know best.

as long as it doesn't have anything girly on it or in it then no its not, so no pink or purple and no flowers and things like that, but i do suggest to not get a convertible, i'd get a hardtop because if he gets in a wreck (rather its his fault or not) and the car flips its NO protection, at least a hardtop takes the weight better and gives protection, also tops can just be cut and broken into easy and of course convertibles can easily leak
?
well, I'm a girl and my honest opinion is yes to the car and the color being too girly o: may just be me but a guy into imports is the way to go
