Its gold... 57 paint code is a deep gold/brown. One shade off Autumn Gold which is 58. Shading or an abundence of light can change these gold shades big time!

another nice car but with him fiddling around with them and painting stuff you cant believe the miles anymore...

I dunno..the docs supporting the mileage look fairly solid to me.

It only showed 236 miles in September of '76. Doesn't look like Amelia strayed too far off of Wilshire. Neat ol' Chevelle for sure...even if there has been some fluffing. That's the closest I'll ever get to 1972.

should have worded it a little different just my personal thing..would like to see a motor left unpainted in low mile cars..the old it is what it is thing, dont get me started on photo shoots of nice cars and the drivers side floor mat is crooked and loaded with debri....lol

"This Chevelle has been a one owner, lady owned car for most of it's life."

If most of it's life meant till 1975..That pink is dated 76,and it's signed off in the SECOND owners name with an addy in Hartford CT..

"It was sold new at Hanson Chevrolet in Los Angeles, California to Amelia Zeiser who stored the car in a climate controlled warehouse on Wilshire Blvd since new"

LOL,That "climate controlled warehouse" is actually an apartment building with a humid subterranean parking garage.

Bandini meter pegged in the red

this guy will never cull interest with that L65,it would be worth 10k more If Amelia had popped for an LS5

Too bad they lie about the milage, cause its a "nice" car..weird color, but different as such.
look at the pic of the e brake handle..sun bleached,but the rest of the dash is mint?
411 miles = perfect showroom inside out un re-touched. Which this is not.

I can recall in the mid 70's seeing a Plymouth on the show room floor with Factory dual stripes and where it met up in the front of the car the top stripe on the left met up with the bottom stripe on the right!

Also remember that when these cars were at the factory and being delivered they had some accidents. The repairs were done before delivery to the dealer. So some panels off color could also have resulted from that.
