I just bought my first Vette and I am excited but I have a question. This Vette is an 85 C4 but it has some very unique options and I am wondering what it is. First it is black with a teal and silver hand painted pinstripe down the side with 2 additional teal and silver stripes down the hood with a "swirl" and the glass end of the stripe. Now on the rear of the car to the right side is the hand painted picture of a sailboat with a teal circle around it. The interior is solid silver leather interior as well. It has spinners installed on wheels, not sure if factory.

If anyone knows anything about a special order or limited run car please let me know.

Sounds like a blowboater had his car custom pinstriped with the mural added. Paint job time !!!!!

Yeah, I don't think that is a factory option, done after the fact for whatever reason. I also don't think they offered a silver interior in 85.

There were a few color options in '85... might be misconstrued as 'silver'

Exterior:
13 Silver metallic
13-18 Silver/gray
18 medium gray metallic

Interior:
122 Graphite (leather)
12C Graphite (cloth)
12V Graphite (Sport seat, cloth)

152 Medium gray (leather)
15C Medium gray (cloth)
15V Medium gray (Sport seat, cloth)

None of that is OEM; congrats on your new '85 Vette...
