bought a 1998 convertable, pewter, with maroon interior, just wondering if there is any way of knowing how many of these were built this way. thank you.

I think you can get #s like how many Pewter 98s were made, and how many C5s were made with maroon (must be firethorn) interior, but I dont think you can get specific #s on how many Pewter C5s WITH firethorn interior.

You can check it out here:

If you want to upgrade it to another color you could search Ebay and the For Sale section for interior pieces - you'll be suprised at how you can turn it to any color you like :thumb:

Got any pics of the new ride/Vette?

Thanks,Matt

I can't offer any additional resources than what have already been provided, however please post pics of your car. I don't think I've ever seen that color combination before.

It's a good resource, but it still won't give him the breakdown he is looking for. I've never seen where GM kept stats on all the various color combos that were made.

This link was posted here on the forum a while back - not sure just how accurate it is though.
