Default Might have found me a WS6, is it silver or pewter?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PONTI...QQcmdZViewItem

The dealer said its gold in the main description , i emailed them and they put that its pewter metallic, i asked for a pic of the rpo code sheet to verify. It hard to tell with the lack of sun.

After starring at it it does look like pewter wish they would of took pics in the sun.

Either way its what i am looking for, hopefully it wont go over 20k because thats all i can loan out.

This is the best one yet!

I see what you're saying, sure looks silver in the pic, but listing it as gold initially makes me think pewter. Both are great colors - I like my NBM - when it's clean.

It looks pewter to me and if it's listed as gold then it probably is pewter.

Looks silver to me. My check engine light comes on when I have the key in the ignition without the engine running also. I think it's a glitch.

They are listing the exterior as Gold though. I'm probably wrong.. but mine's silver and looks exactly that shade. Bad lighting

Yeah, in my search I've seen a lot of Pewter cars listed as gold. Probably because real Pewter is MUCH darker than the Pewter paint, but I still love it

I dont know did anyone notice this. But the listing says its a 01 and its a WS6 so shouldnt it have the newer/thicker spoke WS6 wheels since its a 01, instead of the older/thinner spoke style WS6 wheels that can be found on 96-00 WS6's. But still a nice car and a nice find, hope you get it.

Default Light Pewter Metallic

well actually that car is not pewter, well when my friends got his car it wasent labeled "pewter" his actually said "light pewter metallic" in his window sticker, Chevy does sell a regular "pewter" color it is that dark gray color almost looks black but not yet, I have only seen Silverados and Tahoes in that other pewter color though back in 2000 when my dad bought his truck and there were a few there labeled that color...

well any ways I just thought I would point it out, and very nice car looks just like mine on the inside... and the outside i guess but mine is black, but yeah hopefully youll get that car cause it looks very very nice

yeah i am getting lost on the color, either way its around what i am looking for. i asked them for a pic of the rpo code sheet but nothing yet form them.

pewter, silver its all good. They could of gave a good description in hte auction but the pics speak for them selves, mostly

i havent even bid yet, but i plan to give it a 10 minute last bid of what i can get from the bank and well will see.

It looks pewter to me, I would just ask them to take some better pictures of the car out in the sun to clarrify, it does look silverish, but still looks pewter to me.
