My Third C-5
Just purchased an 03 Anniversary ruby red auto coupe with 515 miles Its headed my way from Florida.In my search most of the ones I've seen are Verts & coupes with 6 speeds. I wanted a low mileage auto but there wasn't a whole lot to choose from. I orginally set out to get a C-6 but for some reason they just don't appeal to me as much. I would be interested to know how many of the 03 Ruby red/oak anniversary cars were produced?

No Ruby Red cars were produced in 2003. Ruby Red (RP0 68) was the color of the 40th Anniversary car for model year 1993:
1993 Corvette Center
For model year 2003 there were two reds made, Anniversary Red Metallic (RPO 94U) and Torch Red (RPO 70U). Only the Anniversary Edition cars (RPO 1SC) that year could be had in Anniversary Red Metallic and all came with a two tone Shale and Oyster interior. Torch Red cars could be ordered with a Light Oak (RPO 67I) interior. You can view production numbers for 2003 at the following link:

Congrats and enjoy the new car!
