'95 Corvette Promo Resto--And a Mystery!

[Snake45]

Bought this '95 "LAST ZR1" Vette promo for something like $2, maybe $3, at the local toy show. Already have several C4 Corvettes on the shelf, but I loved the color (even though it was filthy) and couldn't resist the price. 

 

The plan was to polish the plastic and lay the usual Snake-Fu on it, but when I took it apart, I discovered it's not molded in this color, it's PAINTED, and very cleanly, too. It's molded in regular red, but the paint is sort of a brick red or burnt orange color. 

Here's the mystery: The interior was painted the same color as the body, and obviously (from what wasn't painted), it was slipped into the body shell at painting time and painted WITH the body.  Then it was taken back apart, the glass added to the body, the interior installed, and the usual mounting stubs heat-sealed in typical promo fashion. It was obviously a "factory" job. 

I checked the Corvette Promo website, which talks about some of the '95 promos being painted, but none in this color.  When I realized it might be some kind of ultra-rarity, I just put it all back together and didn't do anything else to it. Gonna contact that website and see if it might have any particular special value. 

So this one is a true "restoration," meaning, I returned it to original condition with no mods or improvements. As always, comments or ideas welcome.

Question is: Was the color available on 1:1 Corvettes? 

It suits the car, for sure.
