Incorrect build sheet? Help!
Hello everyone, I just purchased a Grand Sport and after I got home I was looking at the build sheet and window sticker and the build sheet says it has RED interior, Y01 and the window sticker says BLK/RED interior.
THE CAR HAS BLACK INTERIOR!
The VIN is a grand sport and I have all the paperwork and everything so I don't believe it could be a fake or anything, that being said:
-could they have made an error on the build sheet?
-could they have ran out of RED and built the car with black?
-could someone have swapped interiors after it was built?
-anything you can suggest or help me with, PLEASE!
I am very confused but also very worried.
THANK YOU!

To previous owner said he knows nothing about it. I joined the registry and hoping the get previous information from them, it just confuses the hell outta me!
I am nervous something fishy may have gone on, I spent a lot on the car just want to make sure it is what it is.

Yep, the build sheet says 701, which I translated to RED.

It's possible that a previous owner could have swapped out the various interior pieces, but that would be a big job and expensive too.
Have you looked here? The GS Registry has this list of the 1000 cars and includes the interior color. Also look at this page for the RPO codes. I would expect that the GS Registry website will have accurate data.
Are both the build sheet and window sticker original to the car or are they from the National Corvette Museum? It's possible that there could be an error, but the data that the NCM uses to produce their documents comes directly from GM.

The GS Registry should be able to help with the correct information regarding the interior color. I don't think that there was a possibility of the Assembly Plant running out of material.
It's possible that a previous owner could have swapped out the various interior pieces, but that would be a big job and expensive too.

I contacted the person from this forum who sold it to me and he said he has no idea why it has black instead of red.

Would drive and enjoy the car. You knew it had black interior when you bought it.
