I have one from a 1972 Avanti and the color looks like it is Chevy orange, same as the engine.

the guy I got this from wanted an auto trans in his '72 Avanti.   this transmission and bell housing are now in France going into another Avanti II that had an auto transmission.   I was going to use this in my '63 Avanti, but went with a Tremec TKO500

Both the engine and T-10 trans in my 74 Avanti are original to the car.  The engine is Chevrolet orange.  Both the bell housing and trans are unpainted aluminum. 

I also have five (1962-1995) Chevys with their original V8s and standard (3, 4, 5, and 6-speed) transmissions.  They all have painted bell housings and unpainted transmissions.  I don't think GM painted their standard transmissions.
