Hello all,

Soon I will be taking my Chevelle to the paint and body shop. Once the body work is done, I have to decide if I want to keep the original color or not. This will be just a nice every day driver. Right now the car is Grenada Gold. What do you all think of the color when it is frsh and polished. It is hard to tell on my car as the paint is very faded. Do any of you sport the GG color. I know it is hard and more coslty to change the color, but what do you think?

If toyr car is mostly original,stick with it.My friend has one that color its nice because it stands out in the crowd. Everone paints them red black yellow ect. Yeah! my car is the right color how about yours you can tell them.

I have a 66' AND THOUGHT LONG AND HARD ABOUT COLORS i NARROWED IT DOWN TO SOMETHING AS WILD AS PURPLE (LOOKS REALLY NICE BUT BETTER HAVE POWER) TO A SKY BLUE, AND ENDED UP GOING WITH A PEARL RED, PERSONALY i AM NOT CRAZY ABOUT THAT GOLD COLOR BUT I'M SURE THERE ARE PLENT WHO ARE, DO THE BLUE

I have seen some sweet looking chevelles with the GG code. I think it looks better with the black vinyl top. Good contrast...

Floyd Garrett has a gold 67 post car with torque thrust D's and a 502 under the hood in his museum. That car is sweet! Grandma - sleeper looking kind of car!

Mine was GG originally and when I first saw the color (under the red it had been painted), I really didn't like it. A few months ago, I saw one driving by and it looked pretty nice though.

I've got a '66 which is white w/red interior. As much as I like it, I think the best color combo for this particular year is canary yellow w/ black interior or blk / blk. The others are nice but those two I really favor. Just my opinion.

Well since I live in FL, I definately won't go black. I'm glad to here that some of you like the combo. I think I'll stick with the GG. Thanks for the opinions.

Nathan, since you are asking for opinions I'll throw one in the hat. My personal favorite for a 67 would be the Turquoise color for that year, with a black vinyl top and a set of polished Torque Thrust. Tough Combination.
