Default I just found one 2 weeks ago.

I just found a 2002 at a dealer in North Jersey a couple of weeks ago. Its Electron Blue with an all black interior. I have to say I wasn't super picky about the color C5 Z I wanted, but all of my Vettes prior have been either black or red so I am glad I got something "different". It really is a stunning color when cleaned up. I am pretty sure that Electron Blue and its predecessor, Speedway White, are the rarest Z06 colors. Not sure how many were all black interiors versus black/mod red. I like the all black better myself, but we all have our preferences.





These were from the dealer. We've had pretty constant rain so I haven't had a chance to snap some new pics. I have seen a couple for sale on here from time to time so if you really like that color, be patient and one will turn up.

Good luck,

Charlie

Didn't judge anyone,just threw me off a little.But anyway,there are a thousand people that have done color conversions on their interiors. It's one more fun thing to do to the car. You're always going to have something you don't like and want to change about the car.

But, if you don't like either one of those, you can always get a custom interior done by places like Vette Essentials, Mid-America, etc.

How many large are you into for a full interior swap?

There were 1,272 EB Z06s made in 03. Quicksilver was the lowest at 1,089.

That sounds sharp. I saw one posted here with grey/black that looked good, too.


Lancejoker, I was just biting back. No hard feelings, huh?

None at all. There are a ton of options for changing the interior on these cars. Vette Essentials being the most expensive. They say you get what you pay for....I'll never be getting anything from them.
