Unfortunately, GM did not keep totals for each color for corvette model years 1973 & 1974.

I've always wondered. Is there any retired GM employee that has some info from being on the line building these cars.

Not another "how rare is my 'vette" thread.


If it's a standard sb auto, this was over before it started.

...I've been into C3s since the late '80s and got my Orange '74 in '89. For the last two decades of my going to Corvettes@ Carlisle, Bloomington, tons of NCRS Shows, NCCC Shows and so on, I've probably only seen maybe five to six MAX 1974 Corvette Grey Metallic cars. That is probably in the top five "Rarest C3 Colors" in my book. I mainly look for these type of cars too anytime I attend Corvette shows. About 10yrs ago, there was a fairly older lady down the street from me that had for years a '74 Corvette Grey/Silver Leather L-48 automatic roadster. One day the car disappeared and have not seen it again. There is a '74 Coupe of this color that attends Corvettes@Carlisle in the past few years that I've seen many times(same one).

Thanks Paul. I've had mine for 4 years and I've never seen another one. That's why I thought you guys might know more.
