Gold Metallic Gallery

Sigmania · Apr 19, 2022

Hoping to document some of the gold metallic (GM) Springys & Goldstars out there.

This was a "special" color in 1982, so the price should be 5,000 yen higher than similar model in standard colors.

What looks like possibly a 1981 ST75 GM (?) from the Spring 1982 catalog. Color seems different in the photo.

I've seen 50-stickered block logos with what would nominally be a 5k-extra custom colour before (there is one in the block logo gallery thread, for instance), and they seem to be generally more common in custom finishes than earlier and later STs/TSTs. Could indicate that these export models were offered in a wider range of standard finishes than what was on offer in Japan and other markets?
