If GM installed the Hope diamond in your dash, and it was on the options list, somebody on here would say it was not rare.



Main Entry: 1rare
Pronunciation: 'rar, 'rer
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): rar·er; rar·est
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin rarus
Date: 14th century
1 : marked by wide separation of component particles : THIN <rare air>
2 a : marked by unusual quality, merit, or appeal : DISTINCTIVE b : superlative or extreme of its kind
3 : seldom occurring or found : UNCOMMON
synonym see CHOICE, INFREQUENT
- rare·ness noun

If you look at definition # 3 you will see that several of those options are indeed RARE...
Caption Grammar strikes again.

Actually Tom's right and I did not mean to imply your options were not of value (see definition 2b ). It's a cool truck and if possible should be restored to it's original grandeur.

Oh and I did hve the Hope Diamond as OE equipment on my dash, unfortunatly some Bozo cut the dash and removed it
