Default C5 Color combo question

I'm wondering if there is such a thing as a Black C5 Z06 with tan interior. Ive never seen one. Are they even rare or am I missing something???

I would imagine that any color combo was available if you ordered it new but I'm not sure...

I've seen a fair number of Black / Oak / Oak verts. Very nice color combination.

26 here and still working on some school loans. Couldn't be happier paying them back while driving my vette. Well.... I guess I could be happier if I didn't have to pay them back but you get the point.
