That is correct, but they also made 4 in 1986. It has the same RPO description, but I'm not sure if it is the same paint mix code as the 94 version or not. Both the 86 and 94 even had the same RPO code of 66, but the 94 had a U after it. Maybe that means a slightly different mix.

I love our "Yellowbird!", First of the LT1 (1992), White leather!
(rare? Only 1892 of ALL Vettes with White leather in '92? If it's original?)
I'll have to check my RPO to make sure it's all original, where can i find it again?

I love our "Yellowbird!" but how do i know if it's "Comp?"
First Year of the LT1 (1992), and still pretty rare according to
http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/...92/92prod.html
one of only 678 Yellows made in 1992!
Automatic!
Coupe W/Glass Top!
but this is the kicker...
White leather interior!
(Only 1892 of ALL Vettes with White leather in '92)
So it's probably 1 of ??

Competition yellow was made in 1990 and 1993 - 1996 (code 53 / 53U). 1986 - 1989 and 1991 - 1992 was actually just yellow (code 35 / 35U). I would guess that there definetely were not many yellow with white interior. That one is definitely rare. The rpo codes are under the rear storage compartment door.
Just for reference, here is a picture of my comp yellow. You can see that it is a little different color.

I'd bet that your car is extremely rare in color combination. I did some checking and 92 was the only year that had yellow with white interior. I'd say less than a few dozen exist, but cannot find anything to substantiate that.

your rpo sticker should be under your console door if that was not changed. because your console should be black and not white.

Doesn't look to be tampered with... but i can't make out what any of these numbers mean???
Where does it say Yellow?
Looks all original?
the Numbers match the title, engine, dash, and RPO!
But was Yellow the original color?
I'll have to check the RPO thread. Thanks for helping me locate it!

I just noticed that also. This does indicate DRM. I'll have to look tonight at the interior trim codes. I'm not sure what 191 and 199 are (I think these are the trim codes).
Oh, and you are right, under the arm rest. Don't know what I was thinking. Sorry about that.

Yes the dash vin, the title, etc... numbers match!
I checked before we bought it, and I just went and checked again and took that pic (before we figured out it was red color code).
And they all matched the rpo (So much for the "RARE PAINT"
)
i wonder what else they didn't tell me? (seller/autofax/carfax)
Someone probably recovered the center compartment with white leather.
Oh well! Since she's our First Vette... She'll always be rare in our eyes!
Thanks, God Bless!

We have a triple white convertable. From the research I have done this was very rare. It is not a ZR1, but is a 1993 convertable. I have not seen another one like it. Most had either red or black interior.
