Help needed Factory paint code U855 ??????
My friend just bought a 2001 vert with a Factory paint code U8555 . G.M. does not list this color even as an option. The color is Onyx Black. Is this a rare color or did G.M. use this as a Test Mule.
Any info on this would be a great help.
Thanks, C5-JIM

The Corvette Black Book lists the color as "Black". They made 2702 verts in this color, second only to the 2781 Torch Red verts.
Since 1985, Black on Corvettes shows a code of 41, however U8555 appears to be synonymous with the 41 code on everything from Camaros to Chevy trucks.

I tried the VIN on a number of different sites and the numeric 0 as the checksum does show a valid VIN with the car being a 2001 Corvette convertible.
