Is my Corvette a 40th?

**SHines-IT** · 11-20-2009, 07:19 AM

I thought all 40th was Burgany? But I do have 40th in the head rest and some 40th leather case and some little shit like a 40th. But I also noticed, browsing pics, others have the same stuff. I can snap pics latter, just wondering.

After the production of the 1,000,000th Corvette late in 1992, there was more reason to party. 1993 marked the 40th year of Corvette production and the occasion was observed with the introduction of a 40th Anniversary Package (RPO Z25; $1,455.00). 1993 40th Anniversary Corvette emblemZ25 cars featured a special "Ruby Red" paint, Ruby Red leather power sport seats with headrest embroidery and emblems. The leather interior on non-Z25 Corvettes also featured 40th anniversary embroidery on the seat headrests.

Every 03 has 50th emblems but only the real anniversary cars were the dark red

**67CamaroRSSS** · 11-20-2009, 08:43 AM

Kinda like 2002 Camaros: All of them have a "35th Anniversary" badge on the dash but only 35th Anniversary cars have the special paint scheme.

Ahhh, I see. Well I just took the center consol apart, herd rattling. Underneath it found a few $1 bills and a bunch of quaters. Just over $5, well she's paying me back slowly.

I've found weirder things inside in the Camaros'

**cammed goat** · 11-20-2009, 10:51 AM

My high school teacher's Vette had 40th on the headrests. Black exterior, automatic. Nice car.

Well I forgot to include the sticky hair, but that was nasty... I find nasty stuff in used cars, allot.

This is the list of stuff I've found in the car (Under dash, center console, carpet, spaces/gaps in the body, etc):

-Few bucks worth of change
-Fries/cheerios/gummy bears
-1989 Catalog about pregnancy products
-empty 200ml bottle of Jack Daniels
-A rather large section of wiring harness that wasn't connected to anything, and wasn't even from a Camaro
-Lots of water (

)
-A shell casing
-A couple wasp nests (yes inside)
-Lots of miscellaneous screws/bolts/nuts/washers
-A broken wrench
-And the most interesting thing was this little guy:

**Transamws6** · 11-20-2009, 11:37 AM

^^^^ You didn't know that was in there? It had to have smelt like shit!

**Thrilla** · 11-20-2009, 11:40 AM

Of the Vette, what can you tell me? I know it's not a ruby red 40th. I thought they only came in Ruby Red, and I was right. I saw a blue one with the 40th badging and that confused me. But what else could you tell me?

It was under the carpet in a recess in the subframe, and oddly, it didn't smell at all.

Yes, but that happened years after we found the mouse, and anyway, after the window was shattered the car was moved immediately into the garage and promptly fixed.
