Does anyone have this car?
As some of you may remember, I will not actually purchase my first vette until after the first of the year. However, that does not keep me from continuously searching for the vette I would like to buy next year.
When I am ready to purchase, I will be looking for a used vette, 2001-2003, white with oak interior, coupe, 6-speed. For the life of me, I haven't been able to find a car that matches that description yet. My question is... does anyone own a vette that matches that description? I am just wondering if I am looking for something that does not exist?

Not sure how many were made white with an oak interior. To me, that would be a different color combo than what would be expected (probably more white with black or red). If it was an available color combo, then there is probably someone out there that has one. Whether it would be for sale is another story. Good luck in your search.

I think the car you're looking for does exist, but in rather small numbers.
For example, there were 1066 Speedway White coupes made in '01 - and 20% of ALL cars made had the Light Oak interior. So assuming 20% of the 1066 - that's only 213 cars. This is an assumption, but probably a fair one.
Here's where I got those numbers.......

Here's another place to look at production numbers.....

I don't have what you're looking for, in fact I only know one person that owns a white Vette. It's not the most popular Vette color by a long shot.
My advice is be patient, keep up your search, make sure you exhaust all of the resources (Auto Trader, Vette Finders, The Vette Net, Corvette Hound, our own CF C5's For Sale - maybe a WTB post?).
This is your dream car, don't compromise! Good luck!

According to Idaho Corvette website and Corvette Action Center your search for a white with Light oak will be near to impossible unless it is a special order and a one of colour combo. Speedway white for 2001 - 2003 according to these website only came with Black, Firethorn Red and light gray interiors.
