Engine color
I am restoring a 1968 Olds cutlass S, and while the motor is out, I want to paint it. What color is the motor painted, some say a gold and some say red, please respond with correct color.

If you paint it red and put a "455" air cleaner tin on it, 99% of the populace will believe it to be a 455.

The correct color is Gold.
