Default FRC Options?

I just started looking for a 2000-2001 car.

Was the FRC available with any interior other that black?

Was the FRC available with Automatic?

What are the production number for Coupe vs FRC? I assume the FRC was made in MUCH smaller numbers.

Thanks
Don n Houston

The FRC was only built in '99 and '00. It was only avalible with black interior. It was only avalible with a 6 speed manual. In '99 they only made around 4,000 and in '00 they made only around 2,000. It is a great car with the best looking body style in my opinion.

Isn't technically the Z06 a FRC also?

Yes, all Z06s are FRCs, but all FRCs(1999-2000), are not Z06s.

If you want an FRC which is rare amongst FRCs, get yourself one in Nassau Blue. No mistaking that for a Z06.

This is true, the Nassau Blue FRC is the best looking.

Then again, I could be biased, as I've got one (see avatar).

I was looking at 2 different ones today - 1 silver, 1 black. The silver not look pewter to me as it should. I know they didn't paint any silver ones in '00. Any insight ?

Pewter can look silver depending on the light. Here is a picture of my Pewter FRC.
