I'm admittedly no expert on '67s, but I didn't think "Tiger Gold" was a SPEC paint option for '67 - I thought they renamed it to Coronado Gold and made it a RPO for that model year? 1965 Tiger Gold and 1967 Coronado Gold have the same PPG codes (22728)

1967 GTO Colors
Starlight Black A
Cameo Ivory C
Montero Blue D
Fathom Blue E
Tyrol Blue F
Signet Gold G
Linden Green H
Gulf Turquoise K
Mariner Turquoise L
Plum Mist M
Burgundy N
Silverglaze P
Regimental Red R
Champagne S
Montego Cream T
Any color other than these would be Special Order/Special Paint/Extra Charge - on
GTO.
Whether chosen to call it Tiger or Coronado - usually depends on what the subject or topic vehicle is.
On paintref.com charts its called both names.
Paint Code O is assigned to it on paintref.com
67 Tiger Gold (or if you rather - Coronado Gold) GTO's are known and documented.
None of them carry Paint Code O on the trim tags - afaik
Does anyone have record of a 67 GTO or 67 AnyPontiac with Code O on trim tag ?
Firebird or Fullsize may have used Code O for it - idunno
Coronado may have been labeled that way for Firebird introduction/release mid-year.
Verdoro Green was a 67 Firebird color for instance.
On a Bird it would carry Code Q - on a GTO it would carry Code 1 (on PHS).
Just because we may find listings here or there - does not make a color a free choice across the board - unless it was one of the base original introduction colors at beginning of model year.
To get THAT color Gold on a GTO in 67 - you paid extra.
And they all have Code 1 on PHS from my recall so far.
Any color not listed in the 15 colors above - was extra charge for Special Paint on a GTO.
Tiger or Coronado label would be a matter of choice - i suppose.
On FirstGenFirebird website they are also listing a few other colors than i listed - I am supposing "Spring Colors" .
Have seen PMD charts for 66 and 68 "Special Order" & "Spring Color"- but not for 67. Just listing these in case anyone wants to do further research for PMD Bulletins.
