C-5 color combo
I'm having trouble finding out what year did the C-5 come with black exterior/torch red interior. I know it was only offer'd 1 year.
Thank you,

The Torch Red interior (RPO 703) was available for the 2000 model year. There were 1,164 Torch Red interiors produced but there is no information available (at least not publicly) on what percentage of them were black with red.

Thank you everyone. Currently I have a 01 NBM Coupe w/Tan interior - I love this car. But with 71k miles on it, I'm considering selling it for a Black w/Torch Red. I have a picture of one, but they seem to be so hard to find.
Thank you again.

Torch Red was introduced as an interior color in the 2000 model year, and was available through the remainder of the C5 run. It replaced the somewhat more subdued (darker) "Firethorn" red that was available from '97 to '99.
