Most popular were Black and Torch Red. Some years black outsold red, others red outsold black. Final numbers were very close.

Least popular color was 58U Aztec Gold, which I only see as 15 total being sold.

My favorite would have to be either Black or Red, but I also love the Mag Red and Nassau Blue.

Worst interior I saw was a Lemans Blue, with complete red interior. Hurt my eyes to look at it, but thinking about a MY with red interior made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.

Well, I'm partial to Arctic White with a light grey interior. Worst would have to be Dark Bowling Green Metallic and Firethorn Red, if someone were wacky enough to order such a combo.

I dislike red interiors. I don't like nassaw blue either. I think that it's an old school truck's color.

Pewter is my fave. Not that I'm partial or anything.
I've seen a couple pewters with torch red interior that looked pretty sweet. The red carpet was a bit much, should have used black carpet with the red seats.

Just a tiny correction - Lemans Blue was only available with Shale and black (Z16) interior. You must mean Electron Blue if it had red interior.

Also, the factory had problems with matching the Aztec Gold paint so it was discontinued very shortly. I could probably have been more popular if it had been offered throug the whole year.

And I have to agree with a few guys above - Yellow with Torch Red interior must be the worst combination I've ever seen..

Vert = Red/Blk/Blk or Yellow/Blk/Blk, but then again I might be a little partial for those colors.

I guess I'm partial also, I like my Pewter/Black, I think it's cool, plus I bought the Vette used and it had so many other "extras" I said, yep, that's it. I don't recall seeing any, but for the "brightness" of them, I think red/red, and yellow/yellow would be absolutely blinding.

NASSAU BLUE with black interior...by far... the BEST
I searched for ever to find a FRC NB, ended up with my second choice, Black/Black.

I have seen a MY convertible with a Lt. oak interior and a white top..... Actually - just about everything else I've seen looks pretty good - but just like everyone else - my combination is the best....Fairway Green with a Firethorn Red interior and a Lt. Oak top.
