Yellow C4's
I seem to have narrowed my search for my first vette to a yellow one with a manual transmission. I think yellow is relatively rare. Can someone tell me or get me a link on production years and quantities of the yellow? Thanks!

I don't know where you obtained your breakdown ratio of coupes/convertibles per year, but my Black Book lists corvettes by color per year, and states there were 678 yellow Covettes built in 1992. 2,338 ???

I am glad there are more yellow cars on the road nowadays. Yellow has taken the lead as the most ticketed color so remember you have a target painted on you!
While a yellow C4 may have low production numbers dont let anyone sell you a bill of goods that the 17+ year old car is worth more than any other just cuz its yellow. With the high overall production numbers of C4s, color has no real bearing on pricing.

1996 Yellow LT4:

This is Brandt Kessler's 96 LT4 vert. According to his web site it is 1 of 11 that were made:
Here is one that was for sale at Bloomington Gold 2009:
The sticker on this one said it was one of 17. If my memory serves me correctly it went through the Mecum Auction as a "no sale" at around $22,000. I also recall that it was a rather low-option car.

A friend of mine just sold this car to one of his friends instead of trading it in. The car is very nice.
I know he just put a new shifter plate and radio bezel in it, wheels are fairly new paint is amazing. Car could pass for half the mileage.

Just keep it in the garage.
All of the yellow ones I see are really sun faded with the end caps taking most of the damage. I'm in S. FL so we have pretty intense sunlight though approaching laser beam intensity in the summer.
Love the color on a vette.

2021 C4 of the Year - Unmodified Finalist
mellow yellow
We had a yellow 95 coupe that we bought off the forum from Allentown PA. Had it shipped to Victoria BC. It was and still is the BEST looking Corvette I have ever seen. My wife sold it while I was on the road.
We also had a 93 yellow convertible that we bought in Wenatchee WA and drove it home ( the a raging friggin' snow storm over Snoqualmie Pass). Nice car, but I didn't care for the sound of the LT exhaust when the top was down.. I eventually sold that one too.
Now we a 1987 DRM coupe and 91 ruby vert.
