I would like to know where this guys gets his information on what combinations are rare. Maybe he can get me a copy of the book that tells this. I WISH SUCH INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE!

Man...if it's as rare as he says it is why did he let it get to be in such bad shape? |headscratch|

It may be rare but I would trash that green interior in a heart beat!


No way I would even restor that car becasue who wants yellow with green interior?

You are looking a a very rare color combination. No one in their right mind would order a new car with a gold exterior and a green interior. It might be the only car ever ordered with that combo.

I had a seafoam green GMC Jimmy once that was so rare that I never saw another one like it. Some 5 years later and 3 states away I saw one and when I went to check it out wouldn't you know it was the same truck.

I only ordered it because it was a company car and the dealer told me that this was a new color and it looked real cool. Thank God I only had to keep it 1 year.

I agree...that yellow over green is bad news. Maybe the first owner bought in the dark, with his eyes shut.. |toungecool|

That color combo is pretty nasty... there were 2 bids on it and someone is now the next owner of this beauty! |eek| I would bet that rare color combo is going to change real soon.

Rare alone doesn't make something desireable. In this case it just means that no one else was drunk enough to order a car this way. It must have been heavily discounted when sold new to get someone to buy it!
