Dumb I know but just curious?

Hi guys, like many of you I have been into first gens since Nov of 92 when my dad bought his and brother ordered his 3 months later. Ever since like all of you I have noticed all that I have seen. As they get older and rarer I was thinking to myself.
WHATS THE RAREST COLOR/ COLOR COMBO I HAVE SEEN? So that is my question to all of you. Whats the rarest color or colors that you guys have ever seen. To me I have to say I have seen alot. But I have only seen 1 two toned Light Blue/gold/Light Blue (93) "not dark spectrum blue" and 1 Black/silver/Black (92). Both were club cabs. Please note that I am only referring to factory paints. I have to also say that being a huge WVU fan the b/g/b truck looked awesome! It was on a used car lot in Harrisburg PA. It had a motor/hydraulic pump for a snow plow and was an auto. I cant recal if it was an LE but I do remember it being a little rusty. I know, way off topic. Just wondering what you guys thought? Thanks, Robert

^ agreed Crossy. I have never seen that either. The dark green is very common around here. I had one and dad has one.

G1625S, its going to work out perfect. His B-day isnt until aug. The cab we just swapped onto his 93 has red interior! Thanks again, Robert

Just seeing a first gen is pretty rare for me. I've seen a few cool ones from out of state passing through with campers.

All I know is my trucks paint scheme is one of the more common ones. I have the white/grey/white with red stripe. There's an EC first gen like it here, theres a 2nd gen duallie that has it, a guy that lives in Riverton (he's on another board) has the same paint scheme... see where I'm going with this?

Its funny, first gens are not that rare here. I see them on a daily basis. Sometimes its people just passing through but more often than not its locals. The two tone white and silver is one of the more common here. But I still believe the copper/sand/copper is the most common. Atleast here anyways.

Around my way the most common is the burgundy/gold two tone job. A close second is the hunter green single tone. Mine's two tone white and grey and I've seen a few others around. They usually all wave at me.
