You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

The rarest color for 1965 was 1964 Corvette Satin Silver. This color was used to paint the first 1965 Corvette built, and then Satin Silver Cadillac paint code ZZ was retired forever. In 1965 Glen Green was the one-year-only color; it was used to paint 3,782 1965 Corvette coupes and convertibles. In addition, 7,787 Corvette convertibles were optioned with body-color removeable hard tops.

If Corvettes were made in England, where keeping production facts and records are important, it would be easy to trace any of the 27,720 Corvette coupes and convertibles made in 1966 to learn a specific Corvette's heritage. Unfortunately, all the records say for 1966 is that 11 Corvettes were painted non-standard colors, and some left St. Louis in primer. The one-year-only color was Mosport Green, named after a racetrack in Ontario, Canada.

In 1967 only 10 Sting Rays left St. Louis in unrecorded special-order colors. At 815 units, Tuxedo Black was the rarest production color. The one-year-only color for 1967 was Marina Blue, replacing 1965/1966 Nassau Blue, a two-year-only color with the same exact mixing formula as Marina Blue. In 1967, only Goodwood Green, at 4,293 produced, outpaced Marina Blue (3,840). No two-tone colors were reported for C07 optional removable hard tops, meaning 6,880 1967 Corvette convertibles left with matching hard tops or vinyl tops.
