Not all Beta test cars are white.
First C5 - 1G1YY22G1V5100001 was torch red w/black interior.
First C6 - 1G1YY24U855100001 was (anyone guess what color?)

The AW is such a cool color, but I just don't see that many of them (C5s) on the road out my way.....

You could very well be right but I thought it was Kerbeck Chevrolet. Interesting thread for us white Corvette guys. I also think the 500,000 and 1,000,000 were also white.

Where are the "old school" Corvette pundits when we need them? Seems to be some conflicting stories here!

I am even more intrigued now then I was when I started this thread

Well, at least according to the book All Corvettes Are Red which is supposed to be well researched. But I got the last one not the first one

so I can't swear to it.
