I have seen a few gold firebirds and camaros, only one in person. I like them. BTW your sig pic is too big, the mods will remove it if they see it. The max is 500x150

Yea, my dad almost bought a 1le 1998 SGM * sport gold metalic *, like 1 of three, and one of them was on the forums totaled out, so now its 1 of 2 existing, but he passed b/c hes a old fart and wanted options. SGM is a great color, theres a sweet sgm ss on the forums as well.

I see one gold z28 around my house every so often very nice color especially when the sun hits it. Not a fan of gold but its one of those colors you need to see it in person to appreciate it. Its an older mans and the first time I saw it I did a real hard double take despite going around a turn.

A buddy I used to work with had a gold V6 Camaro, I thought it looked like poo, but definetly something Goldmember would pimp in. Color looks like something that should be on a 71 Coupe Deville, not a Camaro.

Yeah, I've seen the color before on an f-body, just all v-6 models though, never a Z28 or SS.

36 SS cars--29 coupes, 7 verts
301 Z's
1399 overall for Camaro's in 1998

5 Z's produced in 1999 for a sweepstake though.

I like the color Congrats on the pick up! I looked for 3 years for an SS. It's a love it or hate it color (kind of like my gfx, I know).

I've seen a gold Z, SS vert and base V6 all in person. I wanted to buy the V6 as it was at a lot near me for sale. Unfortunately I wasn't in a position to buy it. I've never seen a Firebird in person in that color.
