Nope - and I hope I never do! Doesn’t sound like it came that way from the factory…….

I've heard there's a few green on red C2's that were built. Several yellow on red C5's. They're called Ronald McDonald cars. Saw one on display at the Corvette Museum.

True. The car was white when I put in a new interior with red C3 seats, for some color. An accident required new front clip and right rear fender replacement.

Shop said they would shoot the whole car. Hmmmm. Maybe change the exterior color. Like the Sunfire color. Red C3 seats I have are new.

Sounds like it would be ugly enough to make a freight train take a dirt road.

You've got to add a red racing stripe to complete the ensemble and add 10 mi/hr to the top end.
