The hardtop or FRC accounted for 4,031 cars in 1999 or 12% of the production. As far as rare, not really but it was the first year of the FRC and they were offered in smaller numbers than the other styles. Of the FRC's produced in 1999, 1,227 of them were black (30%). This was the second most commonly prodced FRC color. Second only to Torch Red for that year. All commercially available cars had black interiors.

Will be Rare
I have the '00 FRC. It is loaded from the factory. No Mods on the motor.
Has driving lites, 12 CD, dual air, heated mirrors, power steering cooler, Z19, Z51, HUD, High Polished thin spokes, 3:42 rearend, 6sp., lites under hood and trunk and is in perfect condition. Rare? With as little as a tad over 2000 made eight years ago and I've only been able to find in the United States as few as only 1100 registered today. Rare? Of course not. Production numbers mean nothing unless its paint color? They were base models that the Z06 evoloved from. Rare? Hell No! Go out and buy a Coupe or Convertable that has some real production numbers. I love the Coupe and Convertable but I prefer the cheap inexpensive lower production numbered loaded to the teeth FRC.

I didn't know that you could get the HUD from the factory on them. News to me. I have the active handling, lighting package, the twilight(thats on the rear view mirror right?). Who cares about the top end? and where are you going to use in the states? haha Guess im entry level right along with ya 
According to the '99 production numbers, 12% of '99 FRCs have HUD.
