No, neither firebird was gold. You can look back at the pictures on his site. #1 is a red convertible and #2 is supposed to be a silver 326 H.O. With black top, but actually gray primer and red w/ no front clip. They show a shot of them in their season preview and I also have seen a picture or two on their Facebook page.
They do belong in a museum. Hopefully the new owner will display them somewhere now that they're restored.
