<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Material_Boy</div><div class="ubbcode-body">...why didn't the General use a flashier color with the debut of this car? 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 "Gold" as a quick means of identification.

I assume he was talking about the 1967 camaro when he said this?...I know of other years chevrolet protoypes that were not gold.
