The funny thing about the color is that it was picking up some strange coloring from the sun. It's actually a little lighter in good light, more yellow shows instead of the "golden" hue. I was not well versed in the paint codes, so I looked it up after finding the invoice and looking up old photos. It's actually "War Bonnet Yellow". Maybe I can take some pictures in a better light to show it.
As far as tires, it has Radial T/A's right now, but a set of "Period-correct" rubber from Cocker Tire is a possibility. I don't think that there will be many miles put on the '71.
Thanks for the comments guys, like I said, it's been 20 years since I've driven 'Vettes, they sure are not "finesse machines" by any means.
