Default Question for you 93 Ruby guys??

I noticed a vette on a dealers lot, and at first look, took it to be a 93 Ruby. When I stopped to look closer, I found the color to be a deep purple. Almost, what I think is Black Rose. It had the 93 anniversary badges on the fenders and on the seats which were a light tan. Am I wrong, I was under the impression that only the Ruby option had the badges on the fenders? :withstupid:

Sounds like someone added the badges on. Were the emblems on the nose and gas door chrome?

And yes, only Ruby's came with the side emblems

:iagree: Only the rubies had the emblems on the fenders as well as the chrome emblems on the hood and gas door. Also had ruby emblems on the wheels.

I forgot to look at the other emblems. Thanks, I know the RPO Z25 was the Ruby option for about $1455 and 6,749 were sold. I love the Ruby, I would love to get rid of mine for a good clean Ruby. :party:

I love mine, was lucky as hell to find it, and by pure coincidence, dad has one too.

nope, no white stuff, but plenty of sand from across the street. Closest we got to the white stuff here was it dipped down to 30 one night, and rained 2 months later :D

GS's and CE's had emblems.

Ruby ZR1's had a special one too, basically the 40th, but with ZR1 added to it
