No, if anything, Tungsten is worth the least of all colors right now. Tungsten was the highest produced color in 2006, by a wide margin. I think 175k is exactly right. Any premium over that should be paid because the car has no miles, not because of the color.

It was the highest produced because it was the most popular. More people wanted it then and more people want it now.
LESS MADE DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN MORE VALUABLE !!!
I sold my 400 mile Tungsten car to Marv Rose of FGT for sale for 17300.00 6 months ago.
The market is MUCH better now than then.
Find me a new Tungsten car with stripes and options for 175k and consider it sold.

Less doesn't mean more valuable, but when you're talking 500 potential cars vs. 200, a pool that much smaller you're less likely to run across what you want and sellers know this. Yellow was the least produced color. A friend had to pay 205k to get the last remaining new one. Tungsten was the highest produced because a) Ford marketed it as a limited edition in honor of the Le Mans anniversary and dealers used their allocations on it without ever asking a customer and b) it's the color most likely to be bought by people who bought it as an alternative to a Ferrari or Lambo. People constantly request that I find them cars, and in two years I've never once been asked to find Tungsten.

175k is about right, or marginally more.
ok
you win
so, I guess it was a fluke that one of the largest FGT dealers gave me 173k for my 400 mile car 6 months ago when the market was not near as good now.
Again, if you find cars for people, I'll take a new Tungsten for 175k today, tomorrow or whenever you find me one. Cash waiting.

Dave , I am under the assumption that options on these cars do make
them worth more or less.... ??
Some prefer the fully optioned cars and some without...
The one's with more bring more money ?? No ??

I'm not trying to "win". The market isn't that much better. There are just a select few people carrying massive inventories now that are artificially inflating prices. They know this, and I congratulate them on their business. When there are only 10 cars on eBay and there are 3 guys with 30 cars in inventory, that's called market power.
Again, a no mile car is worth money, regardless of the color. Whether it's Tungsten or yellow or white is irrelevant. The only color that specifically makes a car worth more in any condition or state is Heritage.

The only time options make a big difference is when people are looking for extreme oddity cars. Like a no stripe, no option blue car or something. If it's just a car that has one set of wheels over the other or red calipers vs. grey, it doesn't really matter much. But if you've got a fully optioned car, the original value of the additional options generally holds up pretty well.
