I've been looking for one for over a year. They make tan or gry interiors, but no triple blk. I'd love it if someone knows something I don't. I'll be all

Since you have a 2000 ,I'd suggest getting the UT #21007 as it has the correct wheels and has Red interior which could be swapped with one of the other UT's that has Black interior without too much work.The UT's are getting hard to find but they are out there.I got mine from Corvette Central about 6 mo. ago...don't know if they have any more in stock but you could check with them. The Yellow convertable has Black interior and are easy to find for the guts.
Do a search on google for UT 21007 and you'll find some places that have them. I found one on this site for $27.95 http://www.godsilperformance.com/cor...s/allprods.php
But you may find more. Better get one soon as these are getting real scarce.

For a few lucky people, Franklin Mint produced around 300 in 1:24 scale around 1998, coupes. These are considered to be a prize and VERY rare. They are triple black. Seems Franklin Mint wanted Red, but for some reason the first bunch were black and sent to customers.
I am one of the lucky ones and got this prize.

Ertl/RC2 made one in early 2003. I have one in my collection as my last Vette was a triple black coupe.
The item number you are looking for is 33172 and I think diecastmuscle is showing them in stock.
Oops, I see in your profile you have a vert. Good Luck

I appreciate everyone's responses but unfortunately I have a vert. Mine is especially unusual because it has a white top but I figured it would be easy to paint the top white if I could find the triple black vert. I have what I believe is one of the Franklin Mint triple black coupes that my wife bought me before I got the vert. I think I'm going to have to buy one with a different color interior and salvage the interior from a different color.
Again, thanks for the response!

The black interior is the easy part.
Once you get the car apart, spray the interior parts with Testor's Model Master Flat Black (available at any decent hobby shop). Then after it dries for a day or so, rub it lightly with a cloth to "burnish" the surface of the seats and door panels. I think you'll be satisfied with the results.
Good luck - GT
