2011 9C3 with paint code 719U?

Post by Rewiredllc »

Hey,

So I just bought a 2011 9C3 today. When I saw the car I thought it was strange a gold color I hadn’t seen before. It’s got 57k miles and totally mint. I was thinking about the paint color being weird so I checked the code 719U. I searched about 9C3 production numbers and saw the thread about 94ish 9C3 cars made 2011. Did anybody filter that 94 by color? I’m wondering how rare it may be?

WOuld guess you got the mirage glow gold metallic. Some discussion of the code here but seems our spid labels are not always correct:

Here is the brochure for 11:

Color was dropped in 13

I’ll check the label and see what I find. Did anybody ever figure out the numbers by color? I’m guessing the gold color was low? Never seen one that color before.

94ish 9C3 cars made 2011?


WHERE is that info from? I've only seen some statements about total 2011 production as being around 1000 total cars and that all were V8, nothing about the split on 9c3/1

Looks like it was based off of a 9c1 recall and the total production numbers.

I assume that vin matches your vehicle vin correct? Seems another one where the color does not match. You should have a silver car. Clearly it's gold. Guess it was robots choice on what color to put on them in the factory.

But it does say GST in the list I guess that is the indicator.

I read that thread again and it says nothing about only 94 9c3 production anywhere that i can find, only the total amount of 9c1 recalled for 2011-13 which they are deducing produces whatever amount leftover as 9c3. There is nothing officially year by year shown by GM just the total caprice production which isn't the same info?
