1998 Chevrolet Corvette 1 of 15 in Aztec Gold Paint & Engine Sound - My Car Story with Lou Costabile

On "My Car Story" we're at Corvette Mike Midwest in Burr Ridge IL on 2-3-17.
We're looking at a 1998 Chevrolet Chevy Corvette in Aztec Gold Paint, # 6 of 15 in Aztec Gold Paint.
In 1998, 15 Corvettes were painted “Aztec Gold”. However the paint was considered not consistent in production. Chevrolet determined to not make any more 1998 Corvettes in Aztec Gold paint. They also determined not to sell the 15 cars to the public, but auction them off to the GM Executives. This rarely seen factory color makes this Corvette collectable.
We’re talking with Bill Kotzum, one of the Owners of Corvette Mike Midwest. He’s had the dealership since 2004. The company is located at 60 Shore Drive, Burr Ridge, IL 60527 who sells Corvettes.
If you’re interested in purchasing a Corvette, call Bill at the office # 1-630-230-0441. Or go to www.corvettemikemidwest.com
ENJOY!

Did He Say There Was A Problem With the Paint,As the Reason They Were Taken Out of Inventory ? Didn't See Any Problem With That One & Car Is Almost 19 Yrs.Old.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Ed, I think that was the reason discussed. You're right, it looks ok to me, Lou

I had a brown 86 Pontiac Pariseanne base sedan, 70, odd miles when I bought it from the original owners grandson 3 years ago or so I really like color the brown / gold.

Hi B-91-10, Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

I love this color, I've had two cars this color, but not in a Corvette. One was a Saturn sl2 with all options! This is in really nice condition, I bet it is low mileage! What a beautiful car. Someday I gotta get a vette. Great video as always!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Robert Smith, Glad you like the color on this one. Hope you get your Vette soon, Lou

[@MBailey1977]

Saw this in the background from the copper 55. Glad you did this one too.

[@loucostabile]

Hi MBailey1977, Glad you enjoy this one. Interesting paint story :-) Lou

[@MrGeeMan1980]

Just noticed the vehicle has an automatic. Would be so much nicer and more in character if it had the stick shift.

[@loucostabile]

That's an interesting comment, many Corvettes have the automatic, and I actually think based on the ride and comfort of the car, it's ok as an automatic (although my car has a stick :-) )

[@MrGeeMan1980]

That gold actually looks good. The bright silver wheels do not detract at all.

[@loucostabile]

I agree. Thank you MrGeeMan1980 for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@josephromano6825]
