Love that color.

The color is Autumn Gold.

Well, speaking of gold, here's a picture of my code 53, light gold metallic '74 Z28 when it was about 1 month old. It was winter of 1973, December sometime. I had tracked down the original owner shortly after I bought it (I'm the 3rd owner). We got together a few times and he had a few pictures that he let me make copies of. Yes, that is snow in the picture, it's in Rochester, NY. He also had 2 of the original wheels and a still in the box, NOS stripe kit which I quickly made a deal on. Unfortunately no paperwork. That got lost with the 2nd owner. It's got just over 35,000 miles on it now.

Mark, Any more recent pics of your 74 Z? Would love to see how it looks now.
Maybe post some up in the Member's Ride section or sneak one in here.
I really like the 74-only stripes, and wish they did those for a couple more years.

Of course I do have current pics of it! Maybe I'll put something together and post it in the members section as you suggested. No more stripes though. The stripes had been removed by the original owner back in the late 70's.

Took a long time to decide not to restore this one.

My uncle in 1970 with his brand new (with day-two stuff already added) LS6, M40. Passed away in 2013. He and his brother were body builders back in the day when such a thing was barely a hobby. Most of the pictures are more about him than the car. Notice the upside down SS grille emblem, and lack of "Chevelle" and Stainless grille trim. We think he must have had an early accident, but he didn't remember. This car was unofficially known in the Framingham, Marlboro, MA. area as "The Wild Mouse". Would love to find it.
