Default Z06 Interior question

I'm considering buying an '03 Z06 and want to know what are the interior options for electron blue? I haven't found many for sale in blue and the ones I have found have red/black interior, which I'm not crazy about.

ANy help is appreciated. And if anyone is selling an '03 convertible Z, please holler.

Also, any thoughts on future value because it's the 50th? Who has a crystal ball?

Unless you do it yourself, or buy one that someone else has converted, there are no Z06 convertibles.

The 50th Ann. Z06 is nothing different at all and prob will hold no different value. The only diff is the emblem on the front and year lol. Now the 04 Comm edition would be worth more down the road.

Really? No wonder I can't find one. Maybe I should try to buy this one: http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_de...D=BG0608-71507

All Z06 interiors are either black or like the one you saw, black with the red mods. 99% will be all black.

Thanks!

Any link to the number produced in various color combos? I'm thinking my preference may be a hard find. EB with black interior.

If this is the only thing holding you back from buying an EB Z, I'd say buy it and do an interior swap. There's quite a few people out there (with different color exteriors) that would GLADLY trade you interiors. I just did a swap a few months back from all black to the mod red. I kept my black interior pieces though... It's an option Good luck with your search!

That's a great idea. If I find a good deal on an EB with red/black interior, I'll definitely remember your advice. I'll bet I could post the interior for sale or trade here and it'd be gone in no time. Good call.

Take a look at the CORVETTE BLACK BOOK. It tells all about each year Corvette, how many produced of each color, the options, etc. Corvette Central or other mail order houses sell it.

I understand what "holler" means but seriously? It's funny how people judge you from your location when they know nothing about you.

For real... my brother will be moving to Delaware soon from New Orleans. I like Delaware, when I went there for his wedding I took the vette and the gas was really cheap!

It's funny how people will judge you based on your regional vernacular used on an Internet forum, when they know nothing about you.

An EB Z06 with black interior shouldn't be to hard to find. Most of them came with the black interior.

I have an 04 LeMans Blue Z06, which is close to the color of Electron Blue and did the above mentioned interior change. I added blue leather to most of the interior to match what a Mod Blue interior would have looked like, if GM had offered it.

Good Luck with the search, that's half the fun!

Either a Z with the roof removed (most likely) or a drop-top with Z hardware. Either way, a conversion.
