Default Torch Red vert w/ White top?

My grandfather and I have been talking about this for the past year or so since he bought his '99, and I just figured I'd ask here where I'm sure you guys are more knowledgeable than us. How many Torch Red convertibles were sold with a white top? I've only seen one other car in that color combo other than his. Was it a factory option?

Surprisingly I only have one picture of it... Well once spring comes we'll pull it out and take more pics!

I bought mine new in 01 torch red with a white top. It was an option. I have not seen many of them because the tops are hard to keep clean. Mine is still original and now needs to be replaced. Only lasted 13 years.

The top on his needs to be replaced as well. It's never been driven in the rain and the car's barely driven so I don't know why it's already so crappy looking. Oh well.
