As far as I know, the Rubies came with a Ruby Red interior only.

The car looks like a DRM rather than a ruby.

Agreed. It's possible for someone to swap out an interior, of course -- but more likely that car is DRM.

Default 40th anniversary
Am I mistaken or don't all 93 corvettes have 40th anniversary on the seats. They are all 40th anniversary but not the 40th anniversary edition.

That car is just a "red metallic" code 75 - vert with a black interior!!

There's nothing "special" except that it's his! It's 'very special" to him!

Ruby's were code 68 with ruby interiors and a vert would have a ruby top!

What would DRM have to do with a car that's a basic vert, A4 with a 2.73 rear gear?

Wow. He must have taken that spiel right out of the "Used Car Salesman Handbook". Quite a pitch from someone who says he may keep it after all. Nice looking car though.

DRM = Dark Red Metallic, not Doug Rippie Motorsports.

Thats not Ruby Red. It's a DRM unless it is the Z25DRM without 40th badges.

I think its been well established that it is NOT a Ruby Red 93.

I love Dark Red Metallic its a great color.

Jon glad to see the ultra rare Black 40th could make an appearance.
