Arctic blue '18 or a typo on year?

I love the Arctic Blue color but was dismayed when learning it was not an option for 2018... That said, just saw this 2018 online and it is in the color. Now I am not interested in this one, would need to be a 2SS but do you think they have them in that color, just not showing on Chevy's site, or is this a typo on the year by the dealer?

Under the 'Options' tab:

ARCTIC BLUE METALLIC (Built out for model year.) *No Longer Factory Orderable, See Dealer for Current Availability* (GGB)

Afaik all MY2017 have the Fifty Emblem on the steering wheel. So I guess the car is MY2018, but the dealer should be able to tell the build date of the car

From looking up the vin on the car you have listed, everything is correct with that description.

If I were you I would first try Auto Traders.com and see what they have or go down to your dealer and talk to them about finding one. They can swap out one of their vehicles for it.

Arctic Blue was discontinued early in the 2018 model year (not right at the end of the 2017 build) so there were some Arctic Blue 2018's built...

Ferman Chevy in Tampa has one. I suppose you want one with a manual. This has a auto.

I just did a search through my system, there are still quite a few out there. But you will have to travel to get it or have it shipped. I dont see any in Florida

To be exact, looks like 35 2SS 2018 Arctic Blues left that are brand new. But our locator system isnt live so it could be less. Let me know what options you want and ill give you the info who to contact

edit: Correction, FL has a few, check out BOB STEELE CHEVROLET, INC. and LOVE CHEVROLET, INC., FERMAN CHEVROLET. Shows they have 1 each

The ABM color was cancelled in December mid 2018 cycle. So it is possible to get a 2018 Arctic Blue Metallic car, but there are a few left.

I wanted this color with the SS 1LE option. I was too late so I placed my order on a White 2SS 1LE.

I wouldnt call it rarest, but most undesirable. Krypton Green would be the rarest.

For 2017, that would be a false statement...

There were 111 Krypton Green 1SS 1LE's, while there were only 22 Arctic Blue 1SS 1LE's...

In fact, there were several 1LE colors that were more rare:

Bright Yellow - 44
Garnet Red - 48
Mosaic Black - 62
Silver Ice - 68

But as for rarity, Krypton Green was a 1 year run, those other colors are still available. Being less desirable doesn't it make it rare. I can Guarantee that Krypton Green will be a more sought after color.
