Cameo Ivory with Turquoise Interior '67 GTO owners - Any out there?
 

Hello everyone. Back in '67 my parents went to the local Pontiac dealership and bought a Cameo Ivory with Turquoise interior GTO with 400 HO and automatic transmission. I have attended GTO/Pontiac shows all over the country,and haven't seen many with this color combo. Any out there?

Hello Axel, I own a 67 GTO with that color combination, 400 HO but with a 4 speed. Trim tag color C-C interior code 220.

Hey axle,
I have a strange past time of collecting Paint and trim codes for 1967 GTO's.
I've got data on about 1000 1967 GTO's.
Of the 1000 or so of what I've collected, 39 of them are Cameo Ivory cars.
Out of 39 of the Cameo Ivory cars, 3 of them had turquoise interiors.
Of the 3, one was a convertible with a black top. The other two were hardtops with "CC" code (no vinyl).

So, since I've got data on perhaps roughly 1 percent of 1967 GTO's made, I'd guesstimate that there were 300 Cameo Ivory cars with turquoise bucket interiors.

Neat.

By the way, the vast majority of Cameo Ivory cars had Black vinyl tops.

Axle,

What happened to your parents GTO?
One of my favorite GTO's is the 67 HO. I have had two and they are Fast! Great cars!

squidtone,

I'm impressed! Data on 1000 67 GTO's. WOW, I thought I was crazy, as I try to keep data on any 64 thru 67 Survivor GTO's. I love reasearching and learning these cars.

Nice Combo...
 

I recall seeing a '66 in this combo but can't say I've had the pleasure to see it on a '67.

Did a quick search and found this nice example,
not sure how I feel about the roof but a nice car;

My parents bought their car off of the showroom floor at Bill Page Pontiac in Falls Church, Virginia. It also came with factory a/c . They owned the car for a few years then traded it in for a station wagon (I know) then moved to California. I'll have to post pics when I can find them. On the streets, my dad raced everything ,and was only beat once,by a '67 427 Vette. We have tried and tried and tried to find the car over the past 30 years, but have ben unsuccessful. Coincidentally, my uncle bought a Cameo Ivory with red interior GTO from that same dealership, the year prior, and my other uncle bought a green on green 4 speed GTO from that same dealership the year after. By late '67/early '68 all three brothers were running around northern Virginia/DC/Maryland area in GTO's .

Time is ticking, but would I'd love to find a Cameo Ivory with turquoise interior '67 GTO,and surprise my dad with it!

Thank you very much for your post. Would you mind posting pictures of your car?

Just realized I added the wrong link, Here is the '67 I was looking at;

WOW! Thanks for posting this link. Although there's the minor issue of the vinyl top, the rest of the car is very good. I have contacted them, so we'll see what happens.

that's a good looking car!

A good friend of mine has a '67 GTO hardtop that was originally this combo. When he restored the car, he kept it Cameo Ivory, but installed a Parchment interior. Looked good before the change, looks good now.

This one
 

You just described my car. I bought it in 1968. Frame on do over in 2005.

Before, with turqoise interior, and after, with parchment......he's had the car since 1977 and it has zero rust.

Unfortunately I can't get through to this company. Have emailed them several times

That's a painted top. Code 'CK'. Good looking car. I'll bet your Dad would love it even with the top. That whole Czech Republic thing would be a little concerning...

Jeff,

Is that Bill's car? I always thought it had green interior.

this cameo over turquoise combo is very interesting, especially in an HO! makes me wonder if there are also starlight over turquoise '67s out there. i have to think that would be a striking combo!

Yes, Chris. Bill's car. Turqoise interior. Not aware of any green interiors available in '67 for a GTO. You are probably thinking of his '69 Skylark, which is white with a green interior....the GS clone.

WOW, I agree, could imagine how amazing that would look.

While slightly different, there was a '66 like that at the Nats in Saratoga Springs...with wheelcovers, no less.

i've done several searches and have not found one example of black over turquoise on a GTO. if my interior wasn't as complete as it is, i'd seriously consider a swap to turquoise. i think that combo would be so unique and cool looking.

I know it's late, but I wanted to thank you for your post. And out of 300 or so cameo ivory - turquoise interior 67's, I wonder how many had HO's.

My 67 is a Gulf Turquoise/ Turquoise interior car. Love the interior color! I am going to go either Silverglaze or Black or a custom gun metal when I get it painted.

Fellow I used to work for swung a deal for 5 new '67's for him & his buds the Spring they graduated Grad school. This was at Wilde Pontiac in Waukesha, WI.
Being a tight wad, he passed & bought a '68 LeMans when they came in. 350 2 bbl, I do not remember the color combo.
I told him that he coulda been so cool!

Dave, do you have these cars in a spreadsheet?

Yes.
I have data mined '67 GTO "trim" combos from the internet for some years now. It's probably 95 percent from auctions.
I only record vehicles that have published VINs and then record their "trim" combo. If a trim tag or PHS card is shown, I note this and for calculating stats, I only use these confirmed data points. Obviously this avoids including bogus or mistaken data.
I've collected I think about 1% of 67 GTO production. I'm no statistician so I'm not sure how accurate it is to predict overall color combo stats based on having a 1% sample rate of GTO's. And, by the way, I've not included any LeMans, Tempests, or wagons.

Sometimes I wish I'd tracked other years, but nah, since 67's are simply the best GTO's, I'm content. :)

I'm curious as to how you collect the data, do you somehow identify each car record as "unique"?

I only make an entry on my list when there is a VIN shown in the ad or auction. Each vehicle on my list has a VIN associated with it. About half of those on my list also had pictures of the trim tag or PHS. Only the cars in my list with both VIN and trim tag or PHS is used as real data in my "stats". And as an aside regarding other option details, trim tags are shown often enough in ads or auctions, but are only useful, primarily, for trim codes. Other trim tag option codes differ depending on factory as discussed elsewhere on these forums and I'm not aware of general consensus on that stuff (for example, is there a clue something on the trim tag indicates it's an HO car).

I think the photos were pulled from the listing but were linked here:

Dave, are you able to list the colors in order of popularity? It would be interesting to see which colors were more popular than others, even though your list may not be statistically significant.

And what about two-tone combinations? You have records on that?

The cameo ivory over turquoise is a great combo, which pulled me into the thread. The stats and painted top caught my attention.

Dave-
Not meaning to hijack but I have seldom seen GTO's with a painted top. My 67 is originally one of them. Due to its uniqueness maybe I should have you add it? Its originally Silverglaze with Starlight Black top, parchment interior, 4 speed BENCH with 8 track and some other options. Currently trying to complete the frame off and I chose to paint it one color, Atomic Silver. Happy to speak offline..

I've got a Two-Tone Musclecars page on FB:

I hope axle doesn't mind that this thread is starting to veer off into the broader subject of paint colors. But I'll add more info if that's okay.

I just checked and I have verified "data" on 667 cars. Just GTO's.
That is 0.8% of production for 1967.
Yes, I've captured two tone (paint) cars. Not that many. Also a couple vinyl top colors other than black or white (cream, turquoise).

I spent some time crunching numbers but I'm waaay out of practice with working with spreadsheets. I think I'll have to come back

KGTO I always welcome more data.
Just quick though: Most popular color was Signet Gold, followed by Regimental Red. Some surprises: Fathom Blue and Starlight black quite rare. I included Tiger Gold which had no code but was a special color. Those were typically a "dash" or "1" on the trim tag. Chart attached. I don't know how I'd really present the data with top colors and interior colors. I need a statistician.

I may also update the thread on 67 GTO colors I started some years ago.

Thanks for the file--I'll check it out!

I have a list of Chevrolet colors that we can compare with yours. There's prob 90+% overlap with the same colors, I'll guess.

In regards to black, it was not considered a performance color like we think today. It was a color commonly associated with formality, so it's more likely to be seen on a Cadillac or Buick Electra from that era. I have production numbers for a lot of muscle cars that prove that, at best, black was middle-of-the-road in popularity.

Here's the list of 1967 Chevelle colors from the GM Heritage Center:

A black 1.76%
C white 12.01%
D med blue 9.36%
E dark blue 2.82%
F bright blue 13,84%
G gold 12.21%
H med green 5.5%
K med turquoise 7.30%
L dark turquoise 3.77%
M plum 2.06%
N maroon 5.59%
R red 7.10%
S fawn 3.73%
T cream 5.16%
Y yellow 7.79%
TOTAL: 387,874

Those are monotones or ragtops. Here are the two-tones:

CD 10.08%
DC 29.13%
DE 3.86%
ED 2.16%
GT 29.76%
LC 12.65%
ST 12.36%
TOTAL: 13,901

Interesting that my favorite color for 66-67 GTO’s is gold, and my favorite color on 66-67 Chevelle’s is bright blue.

Perhaps I like them because they fit the car and that’s why people bought them, or perhaps I like them because that’s what was produced and seen?

Hi guys, I found pics of my parents old GTO, but can't figure out how to post them on here. Help! ;-)

Are those color factory to that car?

Hi, my parents purchased their Cameo Ivory / Turquoise interior HO off of the showroom floor at Bill Page Pontiac in Falls Church , Virginia back in 1967. In late '68 they regrettably traded it in for a Chevy Wagon . This also occurred in the Northern Virginia area. The family still wonders if the car is around today.

Is it a paper photo or do you have it on a computer somewhere?

I have it on my computer

That should be easy. When you go to post your reply, look down for the 'Manage Attachments' button. Click, find your photo wherever it's stored and double click. Submit the post.

Hello Axle, here's a picture of my 67 GTO, cameo ivory with turquoise interior.

Worth noting the position of the stripe on the Wide Ovals. If
they bothered swapping em over (they didn't last long) those
chrome reverse wheels were added fairly early in it's life.

Looks really nice with the redlines and Rally IIs
