The gold is beautiful but it just doesn't jump out like a red or yellow ETC. I also wonder why they didn't use a 327 rather than the 6 and an automatic transmission rather 3 on the tree? </div></div>
These are pilot builds - they build a mix of powertrains and options.

JohnZ has said this about the color:
All Chevrolet prototype vehicles were painted &quot;Gold&quot; as a quick means of identification.
