Rootbeer brown corvette? so in my last few posts ive been talking about buyting my first vette.I found a guy at a local dealership that said he has a carvette he can get me directly from a wholesaler.Its a 2001 c5 glass targa 6 speed heads up display active handling etc 40,000 miles.He can get it to me for about $17000 out the door!thats a pretty good price i havnt found anything close to that around here.Anyways-he says to me "the only down side is that its rootbeer brown".Ive never seen this color and i dont really care cause my uncle has a body shop so ill just have it painted but im still curious-what does it look like?any one have any pics?Its a factry corvette color but ive never seen it

No such color. I highly recomend running a vehicle history report before going any further. Maybe GM made a prototype rootbeer brown Carvette in 2001 for some high up executives.

Ive never heard of that color before and maybe the guy that owned had it painted it the rootbeer color 
Thats a great deal, if its legit i would pass it up. Good Luck!

i was thinking maybee its pewter cause that could be a far off brown.Or maybee it was repainted and the guy didnt know that burt it was one owner with a clean dmv and carfax record.I really didnt think they made a rootbeer brown or what if they did and its like really ultra rare!no probabky not but thatd be cool.It couldve been black and he could have been confused.I havnt seen a brown car at all from gm in a while so it doesnt make sense for them to paint their flagship car such a weird color.Ill just have to see the car tomarrow and let you guys know

go check it out, it might look cool and then you would have 1 of a kind vette. Though make sure other people think its cool too, cuz when you got to re-sell it you dont wanna have a car that only yourself thinks is great, and everyone else thinks is ugly.
