I had a 2004 MY/MR. That and $3.41 got me a medium latte at Starbucks.

Now I have a 2001 SW/MR thats rare. I can get a latte for 3.40.

Remember you could get that combo for 4 years.

I think your coffee had some LSD or GHB in it.

MY with mod red is somewhat-rare... But that's only because more folks than not didn't like the combo.

Me, I liked the look of the mod red with yellow, but didn't think it would "wear" well on me over time. I think it DOES add some spice to the interior.

I'd say your combo is "uncommon," but I don't know that I'd call it "rare" (or that I'd spend too much time thinking that it would bring more money when sold or something)...

Enjoy!

The more Rare one's are the Speedway White with Mod Red interior- only 137 ever built out of 352 in White.

I have one if the 137...I have yet to see another one (in person anyway) I get A LOT of compliments on the car at our local events.

I think the Mode Red makes most of the Z's more interesting...I will admit, I have never seen a yellow one with it...I have seen electron blue and I have mixed emotions on that combo...

I don't know how rare MY with mod red interior is but thats what I have also. I think it is a great look. I am not too concerned about rarity at this point though, as we have to wait about 20 years and have 3/4 of the produced cars get crushed before we can start thinking about consigning our "rare MY Mod Red 50th aniversary Z06" to Barrett-Jackson.

Here's some #'s,
79U Millenium Yellow WA-423G $750 1,708 20%

70I Black w/ Torch Red seat inserts, lower dash and lower doors (opt). 1,435 17%

Not sure about how many yellow with the black/red interior but it's probably about 500 or so.

No, no, no... Yellow moons, green clovers, blue diamonds, and purple horse shoes.

This thread is pointless...



Everybody knows that all Corvettes are red. What is this yellow of which you speak?
