Verde Ithaca C7 looks awesome. I'm not a fan of vinyl wraps but the Transformer one is alright, minus the spoiler. The car is very "Hollywood" but I guess that's the intended use.

Let me assure the OP that this IS NOT a special order from the factory. The dealer is asking for a VIN so they can get the paint code to give to their own body shop.
I'm not sure if the dealer didn't explain it properly or they are just lying to you, but a Corvette can only be ordered (and painted) from the factory in one of the 10 available color. Actually, 9 and soon to be 8.
I'm not saying not to do it, I just don't want you to think the factory is painting the car. It will be your dealer repainting the car which will also void any paint warranty on the car from the factory.

Back in the sixties, I don't know which year or years you could order a Corvette in primer only. Not many were ordered this way and are a very rare find today.

In 2003, during the 50th Anniversary Year, GM painted 1 car a color called 50th Anniversary Gold which we now have in our collection. The car was originally Torch Red (we have the window sticker) buy GM repainted in a body shop for this color. If they couldn't do it for the 1 and only 50th Anniversary Car, they wouldn't do it for a special order.
Also, on a side note, I made a call to someone very high up in GM and asked if there was any way to pull this off as a factory order and the exact answer was, "Uh, no".

The last special only painted Corvettes were in 1986 The Malcolm Konner Editions which were built for Malcolm Konner Chevrolet from Paramus NJ who was the largest new Corvette dealer in the country at the time. The plant built 50 cars they were Silver Beige and Black. They were all coupes and were picked up at the plant by the buyers. Since the plant already did two tone colors and both colors were stock it was no big deal for them to do this color combo.
