Default C2 Colors

If you could have any color C2 Corvette you want what COLOR would you have or do you like the best.
I guess I am different, I like the odd stuff like Sunfire yellow on a 67.

Nassau blue with blue interior. Parent's bought a new 66 in that color, in 65, and it's the first of our vettes that I actually remember.

That having been said, I do like the pearl silver/silver 65 I have now.

That is a good one, but I think I like the white interior better.

My first choice would be Nassau Blue with a Blue/White interior.
Second choice (assuming it's a '66) would be any factory color other than Laguna or Trophy Blue, black, white, green, maroon, silver, red, or yellow.

Second of course to yellow/black. I was painting mine in 78 and was going to go with the Sunfire yellow then saw the yellow for that year vette and was hooked!

Sunfire Yellow, black interior....like my '67. It's a stunning color! Plus, the ladies like it, too.

Tuxedo Black Coupe with Saddle interior is hands down the best combo ever offered, but I like my Laguna Blue Coupe with Dark Blue insides, and you don't see them often.

"All Corvettes are red, the rest are mistakes."

also a good read if you ever get a chance to read the book..

i myself own one corvette and 2 mistakes

my humble collection will one day include one example from each generation and each shall be a different color (shades of otherwise basically same color doesn't count either.. )

my '64 is red, my '94 is black, my '01 is yellow. white will be reserved for the '54 if i can ever afford it! haven't decided what color C3 or C6 yet, but if i had to guess my C6Z when i find and can afford it will be daytona sunset orange (or just orange by my "rules").. i promised my wife the C3 could be hers, so who knows what color she'll pick. luckily they never made pink ones
