Very Nice,Except The Mud Flaps,Was Really No Reason To Add Them Since The Mileage Averages Out To It Being Driven About 314 Miles A Year.

Sweet. It's really close to the 1992 poster car, if you ignore the hood blisters and fog light grill anyway...
I think I'd have a lot of trouble accepting the red interior. In a hardtop I could see it growing on me, but in a convertible the interior is such a large part of the 'presentation' that I think it'd really bug me.
Theoretically, the "Z28" mudflaps most likely were a GM licensed accessory. They could have been sold by a GM dealer, in GM packaging. Or they could have been picked up at a Schuck's Auto. No way to know really, since the same mudflaps were sold both places in different packaging.

Awesome car....watching to see what it goes for. Now that I live in FL, convertibles are more appealing than ever

As nice as the car is, I like the red and black Z03 cars but the red interiors GM put in these cars ruin the look in my opinion, I would be with drew on this, I couldn't accept it either. Just hideous. Black,grey,Beachwood even the LS contour interiors colors except for red look better.

I certainly would not have ordered a red interior back in the day, but now I love them when I see them. Especially if they are actually still red and not the more common faded pink.

Fantastic car and I like the red interior but it is too much red for me, especially the wheels.

Beautiful car! Just like two tone GFX Z28s or multi-colored IROC-Z pinstripes were emblematic of the 80s, this monochrome look (to include red wheels) was very popular in the 90s.
A warning to whoever buys it - if you use it, that 24 year old red interior will fade to pink fast!

Red interiors in these things kill me. I passed over many a third gen over the years over a red interior
I'm sure it found a good home.
