Default C5 Rare Color Combinations?

I factory ordered my 1998 6 Speed built in Black with Light Oak Interior and A Light Oak Top

Every Option ...and Side Strip Delete

Sold it in 99 to Buy my 67...

I Never saw another in that color combination.

I know it’s a pretty Rare combination. ...Wonder how many were actually built?

What other Combinations are Rare?

and this would be an interesting thread with pictures!

I would think yellow exterior with red interior is pretty rare.

Yellow with Red interior throughout is indeed a rare combination. There’s one in North Georgia, come see it in the Corvette Corral at this years Petit Le Mans. They call it the Ronald McDonald car and it’s a sight to see.

I have a 2002 yellow/mod-red Z06. I have been told there were about 400 built in that combination in 2002. I do not know how true that is.

My friend had a yellow 02 Z06 with mod red interior. My father in law owned two 01 yellow convertibles with red interior and black top not at one time.
