I think you are going to have a hard time finding out the info you want. GM really didn't keep records of all possible combinations of options on the cars that I know of. You might try www.corvetteactioncenter.com and see if they have any better breakdown than the black book does.

NOXQSAZ 2KFRC5 likely used the link above ( http://www.idavette.net/facts/2000endpro.htm ). The chart shows 543 FRC's were produced in Torch Red Ext. and and that all (100%) of the FRC's had Black Interiors in 2000. That one was easy. Where the chart is lacking is when the color for the exterior, may have had several other interior color choices. Using the M.Y. for Exterior color we see that 1646 verts were produced in 2000 however Lt Oak tops were 3762 and Interiors were 4657 now we know the the Light Oak was used with other body colors in the convertible as well. We also know that many of the M.Y.'s had Black Interiors, as did about all of the other Exterior colors and the chart doesn't break that use down. Thus the chart is flawed for your purpose. I think we know that the MY/Oak/Oak is a fairly small number but this chart won't tell us exact numbers, in this case

I have a 2000 Vert. in Lt. Pewter Metallic, we know that there were 1810 of those (according to the chart) and that only 508 Pewter Interiors were produced, however we also know that that some of the Pewter Interiors, for sure went in the Black Exteriors as well as I think I've heard of some of the Dark Blues with the Pewter Interior, so the best I can claim is that I have is a 2000 Vert in Lt Pewter Metallic, and Pewter (Gray) Interior with Black top being 1 of "no more" than 508.

Use the Chart with caution, as you can see it lacks much of the information we need to be certain. ..."pear"
