Tiger Gold was definitely a special order color for 65-66 but in '67 I believe is was a standard color, Signet Gold or something like that.
The data plate and PHS only designate it as special order color, nothing can verify what the color is other than original paint. in this case the car has a long and almost famous local history with the older guys who remember it and it's owner who owned it for 55 years at the Friday night street races. so while I'd feel guilty changing it the thought has definitely crossed my mind.
I bought the base color in Pontiac Sport Gold but I think I'm going to change it to Pontiac Solor gold and waste a gallon and a half of paint. I'm just afraid anything too off is going to look corny even if it looks better.
