The true number for the 71 GTO 455cid Auto Vert that sold at Mecum looks to be 43 .
Their claimed number was 91
Apparently someone added the 455cid and 455HO together and came up with that 91 number
43 + 48 = 91

It was a beauty
Castle Bronze, Sienna interior , White Top
Sold for around $140,000

Castillian Bronze... Looked very sharp on the Mecum auction pages.
Typically in '71, Sienna interiors are paired with Canyon Copper exteriors

Back to the '71 455 Dport GTO convert which just sold @ Kissimee.
Most likely the most ever paid for ANY 1971 Pontiac factory painted this color.
In the big list, do not have any '71 Judges this color.

I changed the name years ago to Castle , it types reads and speaks quicker. haha

Seems like that car was featured somewhere before in past , online or in print.
Or maybe the previous owner was a member here.
Could also have been presented at an auction years ago and failed reserve.
But the visual and the back-story keeps sticking out as familiar.

One of the 71 Vert. Judges was that color (1 of 17). Also know of a HT Judge in that color.

Surprised that 4 different colors of the 71 Jverts had Sienna Interior.
Aztec, Black, Canyon, Castle
