Default Electron Blue with Red Interior Question

I had 3 C5 cars and sold the last one four years ago. At that time I bought a 75 convertible because I wanted to play with an old car. I got the itch for another C5 car and bought one today. I like off the wall cars and I found a 02 convertible electron blue with a white top and torch red interior. This was a car on my want list and I found it by dumb luck. I am picking it up on Tuesday. The car is a six speed loaded and 19K miles.

My question is how many electron blue with red interior cars were built in 02? Where can I find this information?

Thanks

Going to be hard to find the exact numbers with exterior/interior combos. Haven't seen a source for that info. I do know that the combination you have is very nice.

Thanks. It is a car you either like or hate. I had a 1996 Corvette Grand Sport convertible with the red interior. Everywhere I would go people would say that car looks cool with the red interior.

Congrats on the new C5. I remember a thread awhile back about this color combo, many people are not a fan of it. I think it looks good, but if it was me I would want it with a black top.

Either way you will have a rare color combo and it will set your vette apart from many others. I would imagine if Superman drove a C5 the one your getting would be the he would pick.

I hope you are planning on posting some pictures when you get it.

I would have still bought it even if it had a black top.

You see it a lot in a ZO6 but not in a coupe or convertible.

How much more American can you get than a Corvette with the trio of red, white and blue.
I've seen the C5 vert in that combo a couple of times. It looks great.
It is also very refreshing to have and see the less common color combos.

Congratulations on your find. Enjoy.
