Drums were painted red on all cars with rally I wheels. Exactly what color red, I couldn't tell you. I've never even noticed it in the GTO restoration guide come to think of it.

Chris & Big Pop are both correct and I believe (I'm not going to even say that I'm correct) that the aluminum drums only came with the sintered metallic linings. They could be ordered as an option or came standard if you gott the close ratio four speed and the 3.90, 4.11 or 4.55 rear end.

Sorry, I stand corrected. Looked in book again, only aluminum drum cars with rally I's in 1966 were painted red. (pg 217 photo on bottom of page)
