Default Please aid me in finding a GS

Hey guys new to the thread, currently own a 06 manual base in Monterey Red.
I would crime to find a manual GS in CRM or any of the other “darker” reds.
What I'm looking for: CRM, White, or Black GS with a large emphasis on CRM.
Must haves:
Manual Transmission
No Tan interior
Less than 50k miles.
Looking to boost an LS3 so I would be open to a good deal on a low mileage 08 + base
in the same colors.
Located in Florida but willing to travel a bit.
Is there a reason I can’t find any darker-red manual transmission Grand-sports? I have been looking for months and have only seen a few automatics.
Picture for reference.

CRM! I had to look that one up - Crystal Red Metallic. I think people assume that all will know what is meant when using abbreviations or acronyms - not me.
As far as finding a Grand Sport (I spelled it out) in the color you want, here are some numbers to consider: Chevrolet made about 28,000 Grand Sports from 2010 to 2013. 23% or 6310 of them, in my opinion, are the most desirable. That is; coupes with the 6 speed manual transmissions, that got you the LS3 with the dry sump. Add on NPP exhaust and 3LT or 4LT interior (my requirements) and the numbers get smaller. Looking for a certain color/interior with these options and with low mileage, the numbers get even smaller. Advertising as you are on this site will reach a limited audience but may be your best chance to get what you want... Al

Where are you looking? Have you tried AutoTempest? That’s where I found mine.
