Default Anyone else with an Arctic White coupe and Firethorn Red Interior?

I have not seen another one here in Canada, but I am sure they exist in the states. Anyone else with that exact colour combo?

Default Close but no cigar

I'm not trying to crash the party but I do have a 2004 which is Arctic White with Torch Red interior. Those are rare, too. I still don't understand that, either. I honestly think white with red interior (bright or dark) makes for a striking color combination. I also have a Chevrolet Lumina which is white with dark red interior. It used to be so popular. What happened?

Not sure that its RARE, but like I stated earlier on, my documentation shows only 10 Arctic white coupes/firethorn red interior vettes for the 1999 model year in canada. I am sure there are many more down south. It is certainly not the most popular colour scheme.

I bought my 98 used (it's T-Red over Oak). The Corvette dealer in Chicago where I bought mine had one in the back when I was looking. It was an Arctic White coupe with Firethorn interior. I actually really liked it and wanted to get it. However, after going over it, it just didn't seem as if it was well cared for. I don't remember the year of thge car. This was in back in 2001. I do think it's sorta rare on C5s but maybe even considered common with White C4s. C4s had a lot of interior color options over the years it seemed like.

With the top out.......I leave it in place & jump right in.
Other than that I either slide right in nascar style or pull the quick disconnect pin


at the top and swivel the bar over to the door
Usually I do that for my Wife
