In 01, Quicksilver and Pewter were available with light oak interior, but Sebring silver was not. I like the look, looks clean and light.

Your link doesn't work.
According to the Corvette Black Book, LO was not an option for any of the silver (or pewter) C-5s. Lght Grey was an option. If you have found one with Lo, check the options in the glove comparment to see if it came from the factory tha way.

Link worked this time.

That appears to be light oak in a 2001. Black book does not that as an option.
It looks good.

I have a 2002 vert that is pewter/black. I like it but would have rather have had the light oak interior and top. I think the oak looks better with pewter than black. Bought it used so I didn't have the choice. But I do like the pewter. Only color I'd have preferred was the darker spiral gray.

The Corvette Black Book shows the recommended color combinations. You could order pretty much whatever you wanted.
Cases in point:
Millenium Yellow is listed only with a black interior, yet we've seen several with a Torch Red interior.
Electron Blue doesn't show Torch Red as an option, yet there were a handful made.

As informative as the CBB is, it isn't always "complete".

The information I gave you was from the C5 registry. There were very few 2001 colors that were not available with Lt Oak. Yellow, Sebring Silver and White being three.

Look on your RPO codes on the glove box door for the numbers 673. If they're there, it came in light oak.

I own a 2000 Coupe - Sebring Silver with Light Oak Interior. You can't see any of the LTO interior but the lower door panels and part of the console base and some of the carpet. All has been replaced with silver or black!

And yet I've seen more than one example of each of these colors with Light Oak interiors. Recommended combinations and reality are two different things.

I'm another that doesn't care for it, have seen other pewter verts with LO. I like the pewter/black but would also consider pewter/red.

I have a 99 coupe, in pewter/ light oak, and although I may be slightly biased, I think it's a great combination. Timeless and dignified.

I'm sure there were not many made yet I really like the combination. I may be partial because I have light oak in my Mil. Yellow.
