Back in 2001 or 2002, I was able to order a Silver WS6 Trans Am with Taupe interior. It was a color combo that, for most of the year wasn't available and it was never published that you could order that combo. I was just playing around with orders and the system let me order that combo one day so I let it ride.

When the car came in, it was not attractive at all and our GM did not approve of my decision. The car sold within 2 days of hitting the lot and my ordering was never questioned again after that. lol


That car had to have been a one of less than 5 ever made. It was a 6 speed too. I still have a copy of the invoice somewhere.

You sir, are a winner. It's posts like this that keep me coming back here. You actually made history, that is bad ass.

I went to trade school with a guy that ordered a 69 Chevelle SS 396 in Yellow with a red painted top. It also had bright red interior god it was awful.

Summer of 1968, parked at the local hang-out lot. A guy rolls in with a spanking new Coronet R/T. Bright blue with bright red interior. He explains that he ordered it with black int, came red by mistake and he didn't want to wait for a re-order. Ouch!

Back in the day I had a Blue Gremlin to store the ta away for the winter, not really a bad Combo, but the Levi Jean interior was strange, I wanted the Le I interior in mine. Lol

They had one just like this in the Henry Ford Museum. I figured the museum must have purposefully chosen the ugliest Corvette ever conceived for their display.

Since then - I'm pretty sure I've seen another (or perhaps the same car) on display in the Gilmore Museum.

AMC used the Levis interior on many cars. Always blue interior of course, even if the car was orange or green. That yellow interior, black Camaro is wild. I haven't seen such a bright interior until recently on customized ricers.

A friend of mine had a Levi's Gremlin back in the day. I remember the red Levi's tag on the seats.
