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. Chris

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; http://thefirstgensite.com/library/6...O67S6P7_42.pdf

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! |

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. |

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. |

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).

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 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...

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.
