Yes, that's what the Corvette Black Book says. They've got a pretty good record for accuracy.

Order one when you go to that website link that I posted.

AFAIK, that's the only place you can buy them.

You're welcome. Although I don't have one right now, I've had 7 different Corvettes and 4 different issues of the Corvette Black Book. It has 2 pages for each model year, listing colors, options, prices, and really helpful info. about that model year. Also has pics in the back of the book. Also tells you how many of each model were built each year.

This color will prompt two things. GM execs wondering why its not popular, and owners of said color spending all their time bragging how its a rare 1 of xxx in that color.
