Default Maybe a rare color combination?

I was looking on usedcorvettesforsale.com and came across this
http://www.usedcorvettesforsale.com/...tte-27670.html

I have never seen a Nassau Blue C5 coupe with red interior like this. Was this a rare option on them?

It was unusual.

More unusual is the Vert with the red interior and white top - just a handful made.

Maybe rare, definitely a bad choice.

Wait, now I need to know, are you goign to go buy this car? If so, we need to talk - it doesn't matter how much the car might be worth some day... look at how ugly that is!

Don't buy it because it's an "option freak" and hope someday with 20,000 on the clock you can turn a buck on it... it's so gross!

Black book doesn't show that combo available, but may have been available as a special order, or someone may have just swapped the interior out...it's easy to do. A swap is probably more likely if someone is calling it 'rare' and trying to make some money on it.

C'mon...$25K for a '98?

I just have never seen a nassau blue with that color interior before (i know interiors can be switched out, i was just wondering if there was a possibility of it coming out of the factory like that)


Thank you AC54ME for the simple polite response!

I won't comment on the color, but whether you like it or not, it's way over priced.

That's the same thing I was thinking!

Either that, or a Chicago Cubs logo on the hood.

I love the pewter/red combo. I am upgrading my all black interior to my 2004 Spiral Gray verte to a Vette Essentials Black/Red trim combo. Can't wait.

I cannot believe anyone would do this to a perfectly good C5 with such a great exterior color.
Wayyyy over priced.
