Hi ,I am brand new to the forum and a recent, yesterday, first time corvette owner. Will pick it up next week in Kansas City.
It's a 91 Coupe listed as Dark Red Metalic. Is that the same as Ruby Red? The pic look close.
Thanks

while the dark red metallic is a rare and unique color in itself, it is not the same as the sade "Ruby" and does not have the matching ruby leather seats / carpet - on 'vert, ruby cloth top as well.
Nice color for sure, but two shades off and more mettalic in most lighting

For more on this story, read here: Ruby Callaway Story
There was also one Ruby coupe done as a SuperNatural 400 car when new, and a while back, a ruby Convertible surfaced as a crate motor Callaway - It had a SuperNatural 400 engine as well.
So 3 done new, one, after the fact by mail order
I hope this helps
