Good eye! Yeah it was changed at one point. It use to be gold and the best part is its a 4-speed. Not sure if its a true 4 speed as I have not ran the numbers yet. The car came with many parts including the motor and 4 speed. It does however have an auto an it now with a 360. The pedals and everything are still there, so it will be a 4 speed again:cheers:-Rich
