Could someone help me identify this color ?

I assumed it was gold, but the owner refers to it as "it's silver with a kind of rose tint. it's almost like a mother of pearl effect. it's a factory corvette color"
What do you think ?

Definitely Pewter. I've seen Pewter cars with the Lt. Oak interior before, and it makes the pewter take on a "goldish" cast.

. As well, that Ebay car does look like the headlight is out of alignment, could be a problem.
Wow, never seen that color before! VERY

I agree with the others. Any kind of silver will reflect the colors around it better than other colors. Case in point. Check my sig pic. It looks goldish, too. And mine isn't even Pewter. It's Quicksilver.

Thanks guys I really appreciate the help. The top helped steer me in the direction of a light gold as well. I have a set of '98 gold anodized wheels that I thought I would install on this car should I win the auction. Sure wish it didn't have that many miles on it though. Think it's worth it if I can get it for 18-19k ?

dont let the miles alone scare ya. many people on here have high miles w/no problems. i have 91k on mine and its just as reliable and burns no oil etc, just like a newer one. i'd be more concerned w/the "drivers seat shows some wear" part of it, must be pretty bad to cover them up with those crappy fitting seat covers...
