Default Going for the Gold!!!

I have pictures! The first on the net that I have seen!









Thanks to Bill for the pics!!!

The National Corvette Museum is raffling a one-of-a-kind gold Corvette Coupe limited to 2003 tickets at $200 each. The Corvette was designed and created to work in conjunction with the JD Power Gold award, which is scheduled to be awarded to the best automotive assembly plant in North America. The gold Corvette Coupe has an automatic transmission and sports a black interior, and is autographed on the inside structure by the assembly plant team workers who helped to create the exclusive car.

The drawing for the "Going for the Gold" Corvette will take place on Sunday, June 29th, 2003 at the "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Corvette" Block Party scheduled as part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration activities at the Museum. “Chevrolet and the GM Corvette Plant are very proud to offer this one-of-a-kind car to the Museum as a fundraiser,” stated GM Corvette Assembly Plant Manager, Wil Cooksey. “We are excited about our goal of being the best plant in North America and this car is a great addition to the excitement.” A portion of the raffle proceeds will also be given as a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The winner of the Corvette raffle must be at least 18 years old with a valid drivers license. Winner need not be present to win. Available to participants worldwide, the raffle is void where prohibited by law. Winner is responsible for all taxes, fees and licenses.

My son & I were just there on Monday of this week (drove down from Mass).
The car in the pics looks an awful lot like the Plant Manager's car... :thumbs:

No offense but i think that car looks awful. The first thing i'd do is repaint it. Maybe it looks better in person who knows.

You would paint a one of a kind Corvette? This is the ONLY one made!

It would take some getting used to for sure but why paint it? You'd be better off selling it and buying a color you like better. It would not fetch the $400,600 the museum is getting for the fundraiser but by selling it you would get a premium price from a collector and could get something else.

Not crazy about the gold. When they raffle off a mint Grand Sport, I’ll have my $200.00 ready. :D
