Yes. That is RPO 73B, Red Accent Cloth. Last year for availability was 1999, and it could only be had on cars with the following exterior colors:

Black
Silver
Pewter ('99)
Red
White

It was a pretty rare option, I've only see a couple myself (on white and black cars). There were 1,495 cars ordered with this for '98 and 643 cars in '99.

Two tone cloth. I like it!! I test drove a '96 Camaro Z28 (before I bought my '96 Formula 16 years ago) that had a cloth red plaid-type interior. It was really different.

if it was leather, maybe, but that color red doesn't quite do it for me. I've seen it only on a handful of cars

I like it a lot, and I would probably have ordered it in '99 if I hadn't bought a car already on the lot instead.

Stock F-body leather is junk, so I always try to get the cloth whenever I can. Not to mention how much easier cloth is to deal with in very cold or very hot temps.

Even with my light colored leather seats I always wish I could have had cloth seats when the top is down. When you come back to the car after awhile away, that sun makes the leather HOT and I hear it from my wife

That is pretty rare if you think about how many ls car were made in 1999.
