Nah, seller's hype. I've got an '05 Precision Red Coupe. The color comes in at 1,304 (1,274 Coupes and 30 Convertibles) so right off the bat I've got him beat.

Red Jewel or Monterey Red was the rarest color for 2005 vettes. Only 717 of them were made. However, there were 5052 of them made for the 2006 MY.

Velocity Yellow was the second rarest in 2005, but there were 4122 of them made in 2006.

The rarest overall for the 2 model years combined, 2005 & 2006 is Precision Red. Only 1304 of them made, all in model year 2005.

Right now, Atomic Orange is the rarest as so far, they have built less than a 1,000.

Probably wouldn't bother you if that's all they make, would it?

I didnt even like atomic orange when i 1st saw it, but the color kinda seems to grow on you.Its weird i actually really like the color now, even more so than dsom. Dsom was 1 of my favorite colors.Atomic orange i would say in my opinion is 1 of the nicest colors out.It would be nice if they can keep the production on this color low,but i doubt it.

For a full season color, it's usually white that is the least popular. Has been that way for a while. Not sure why, it's a nice color on the C6.
