For the last several years I have been researching yellow/green Corvettes. I have a yellow/green '71 LS-5 convertible that I found with the help of a CF member. Pictures of it are on the LS-5 site here on the CF. I have yet to see or hear of another yellow/green convertible. I saw a '69 y/g 427 coupe on ebay and a '71 coupe here on CF. I am starting to think I may own the only yellow/green Corvette convertible out there. I am curious if anyone knows of any documented y/g convertibles? It was never a popular combination, but everyone that sees mine remarks, "wow, I never thought I would like it, but it is very pretty."

Thanks for help guys. The CF members truly help and look out for each other!

Stuart really is a great looking color combo and yours is the only one I have seen and a LS5 also. Be sure to get some pics on the LS5 thread.

I know of a '70 L46/4 speed Daytona Yellow speed in Florida, but that's the only one I've ever seen. Certainly not a very common combination.

Its a fully loaded 4 speed with hardtop. I'm thinking it might end up in Bowling Green at the NCM so others can see it when I can no longer give it the care it deserves. Wish I was 21 again. Robert Louis Stevenson’s mournful plaint: “If youth only knew and age only could.”

Check the LS-5 thread, there are pictures of the car, VIN stamp, and trim tag.

Ah yes, youth is certainly wasted on the wrong people.

Good looking car Stuart, have you seen many others with that color combination?

We need some updated pics to keep thread going strong

I have been in contact with the current owner, and sent him the original sales contract, window sticker, POP, and some other items, on the condition I get first crack at purchasing it, when he is ready to sell.

Thanks for sharing. The green interior appears black at first glance, especially from a distance. Code 423 is a darker shade of green which matches up nice with the yellow. I noticed a '66 yellow/green 427 Convertible for sale in my latest Hemmings. These are very rare, as it was not a suggested color combination, it took a special order override to have one built. I am going to call the owner and see if its an original yellow/green. Many were green/green originally and repainted yellow.

Definitely an unusual color combination. I think that combo was made available especially for the Jolly Green Giant (Ho, Ho, Ho..).

Early to mid-70's was a time for "Earth" colors: Peace and Love, ya' know.

HTH. Yes, it's a very dark shade of green.

If that '66 is documented, I would think it would be a very rare bird indeed.
