Not sure on the production #'s. Sounds like a rare combo. I've got an 02 EB Z06. Mod red interior would look awesome in an EB vette i think. Good luck!

GM doesn't publish final production numbers for combinations of colors and options like you are wanting. They only publish the numbers of each option by type of car - coupe, vert and Hardtop/Z06. Here's the final production numbers for 2003:

2003 Corvette Production

967 EB Coupes were built in 2003 and 231 or 2% of the coupes built had the red interior. Using these figures and extrapolation, you can come up with an estimate of EB Coupes with red interior. However again this would only be an estimate at best.

Nice option. We have the Z51 Performance Handling Package in our car and it is my favorite of the C5 suspensions.

Hey Jessem who's got that cpe? Private or dealer. 40K sounds high even with headers. I would love to own an 03 Z with those color combinations.
Good luck and hope it goes in your favor.

In 2003 there were 967 Electron Blue coupes produced. 231, or 2% of all the coupes produced in 2003 were red. IF the 2% was the same for every exterior color, then about 20 Electron Blue coupes had red interior.

http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/.../2003prod.html

My information shows two different reds ... firethorn red, that was not available with electron blue and red/black that was.

Hope this helps ...

If you plan on taking a big loss on your trade you might as well go for a C6. 40k is way off for a 03.That dealer is prolly into it for under 30k.
