Yellow with red interior?
I found a nicely priced Z06. The car is yellow with red interior. Seams like a strange combination. Kind of Ronald McDonald. Has anybody seen this for real? What do you guys think?

A local dealer had a C-7 with that combination lf colors.
It looked like crap.

I don't like it. I don't like it at all.
Good news is it would be easy to sell the red stuff for black if it's that good of a price.

I'm lovin' it.
Mod red is extremely popular. You'll have no problem trading it for black and will get a few bucks on top of the deal too.

Wasn't a real popular color combo, but yes, I have seen others like that. I do not think it is all that bad, but it's not for everyone.

The only way I would buy a yellow corvette is if it had black interior. Red interior on a yellow corvette is GARISHLY UGLY.

Mod red has lost its appeal over the last year or so. When I bought my 03 MY C5Z in 04, I really wanted the mod red but couldn't find it. I'm happy now that I settled on black.

I like it but most don't. Buy it anyway. If you don't like you'll
have no trouble doing an interior swap-out for black as stated.

Mine has that combo - and I'm loving it, lol
It was a fairly rare color combo, like others say it seems to be a love it or hate it combo. I think it looks much better in person than it does in pictures, I think it looks amazing. As mentioned it would be easy to swap interiors with a black car, many people are looking to switch to mod red and GM doesn't sell replacement covers any more in this color.

If the interior is in good shape, you could easily sell the Mod-Red components for a nice price and then install stock black components. Depending on the miles and condition of the rest of the car, perhaps a set of black Vette Essential seat covers/trim with yellow stitching to break it up a little.

If you have never been to a corvette show then you wouldn't know.
Try this, how about alligator skin door panels for the doors for starters.
Yup, you read that right! So the colors above ain't so bad!
Thanks, Matt

That was a dealer option, I believe it was called the #4 with cheese.
