Default C5 silver/red int combo?

Dumb question...

I know silver/red is a common color for the C6 but I was wondering if it was also offered in the C5 years. All I seem to find is the silver/black? If so was it the firethorn or torch red? Thanks for the info and pics would be great.

Yes. Although a combination that was quite rare, the red interior could be ordered with silver on the coupe/vert for any C5 model year. (Only the red/black seat combination, often referred to as modified red or modified torch red, was available on the Z06.) The red interior also could be ordered with Pewter or Spiral Gray. Which red, Torch or Firethorn, depended on which was available for that model year.

See following:

My 2000 vert is silver with torch red interior. They are uncommon as dealers tended to order silver/black. Most of the silver/red were probably ordered that way by the buyer.

I have a pewter car and changed the interior over to a mod red theme from all black. Really like the look. Here's a pic.



Since that pic was taken, I've also added the door pull handles in mod red.

IMO, red with silver goes very well.

I have an '00 which is pewter with torch red interior (I ordered it that way). I think the combo is great. From what I can put together only about 80 C-5's in '00 had this combo.
