Default Picking up the Pewter

Just got this 2002 with 44K miles on it. My mom's cousin was the original owner. He was going to sell it...had to keep it in the family.

2001 Vette Coupe. Was my dad’s for 10 years before he tossed me the keys as a gift for Father’s Day 2023.

Here’s how it started…

I originally set out in search for a pewter Z06, but eventually "settled" for electron blue. ; (
All Corvettes are supposed to be red, but pewter kicked that old wives tale right square in the nads!

would have been a VERY long search! GM never offered it on the Z06…… a few FRC’s around though!

Yeah, they didn't offer Anniversary Red on the Z06, either. And, Quicksilver just didn't trip my trigger.

Sooo many nice cars in this thread. Glad I haven't seen anything that looks like mine. Baldwin/Motion treatment.

About eight years ago I responded to this thread and indicated this was my favorite color but all the cars I found had black interior which does not work on a vert in Florida. I ended up with a white car but lost it in Hurricane Ian in a flood. It took 18 months for me to locate a pewter vert with light interior just a few miles from my home.

This was my dads '98 with Corvette salesman extraordinaire Mike Furman in the passenger seat. They lived across the street from us when I was growing up. I can thank them both for getting me hooked on Vettes. I love my torch red FRC, but I'd probably take a pewter over it.

I think Pewter Metallic is a color you never picture in your head when you think of a Vette, But when you see one in person, you just go Damn!

Just got back from the Tail of The Dragon. Had an awesome trip and got some GREAT shots! This was from my driveway the day before we left…


Here is a shot of our entire group that went (Left to right: mine, dad, brother, broth-in-law, father-in-law, brother-in-law)…


And finally, a couple photos from our run on The Tail…
