Question how rare is my vert?
I have a 99 z28 arctic white with factory white leather interior. Its as a4 with a black top. I found a vin decoder online and found out it was built in canada but don't know how rare this combo is especially seeing that it was built in canada. Any info would help guys, thanks in advance.

All 4th gens were built in St Therese, Quebec.

And your white interior is rare, generally only about 1% of production. But I'm not sure exactly how rare.

Yes, all built in Quebec. The last white interior I saw was years ago and it was a 'triple white' Firebird! Quite different but I imagine tough to keep clean. Tan tops are tough enough. White must be a bear! Be glad you have a black top.

Yeah I have to wash my white top 2-3s a week to keep it decent looking since I have to park out side, but its cool having something different then everyone else.

This link gives you #s by RPO:

Total '99 Z28 A4 'verts built: 1811
w/ Artic White (10U): 426
w/ 10U & black top (41T): 112
w/ 10U, 41T & white leather (102): 6

With my vin how do I find out what number sequence my car is?
Z28's didn't get any special "sequence number" like SS, WS6 & Firehawks. The last 6 digits of your vin is the sequence your car rolled down the assembly line at St. Therese. Not very meaningful.

My Trans Am is triple white. Very, very hard to keep the top clean but I love the look so I'm happy with it.

A local guy around here has a 97 lt1 white with orange stripes, white wheels, and white interior. I love the all white look on these cars.
