Is Nassau Blue a standard C5 color? There's Electron Blue and LeMans Blue, I know, but I'm not familiar with Nassau Blue --- thought that was a 60's color.

It was made again in '98, '99 and '00 I believe. It is a lighter blue than the other C5 blue colors and may even be a tribute to the 60's color. It was available on the coupe, vert , and FRC. If you go to the second page in C5 general...i had a post there asking people to post pics...check it out. It's a sweet color!!

Good luck, they are not easy to find if they are clean and low milage. I hunted for months before I found mine, and I had to PAY FOR IT. I am not sure why, but most people who have them, know they are high in demand and jack up the price. Mine is Nassau Blue with light gray interrior, which is even harder to find. most of them come with black interrior...Good luck

had a 98 but sold her to buy a house in florida. after missing her so much, i got a chance to grab my 2000 that i currently own.

my 98 had gray interior but my 2000 has black interior.

in my own personal opinion, i like the black interior a little bit better than the gray. with the dash being black and 70% of the doors, it just seemed to flow better. IMO!

good luck on finding one!

Duh, I sure forgot about NBM, and I used to drive one ---- a '99 Camaro SS. A friend of mine had a Vette same color & we used to park them side by side at the track.

I am choking here a bit but I am considering putting mine up for sale. I can't pull the trigger just yet, but it is going to happen in the next few months.



I have not decided on a price yet, still researching a bit, but am smart enough not to be insulted with a low ball offer, so save your IM's.
It is an automatic.
I have 80K of mainly highway miles(it is actually less because I was running 295/35's on the rear and would rack up an extra .1/10th of a mile for every mile I drove.) They were on the car from 30K to 74K. I now have Ntto 555's on it and put 295/45's on the rear(now I have the opposite problem). It still has the original brake pads, so you know I have been easy on the car. I will change these so the new owner gets a fresh stop.
This was not a daily driver, just a lot of trips to the Sierra.
It has the light gray interior, but I need to replace the driver's side leather. I have also upgraded the sound system, replaced both the speakers with JL-XR's and added an 8" sub in the rear right cubby, powered by an Alpine amp, and retained the stock HU.
Slight mods:
Fikse FM10's
Euro Taillights
Vortech Intake
Corsa Touring
The original Wagon Wheels will come with it
Due to non Run Flats a full tool kit for field fixing a flat is also part of the deal.
It does have it's fare share of front end road rash. I am getting it fixed once the C6 comes out of the body shop.
I am reasonably active in the Nor Cal section, so the folks over there know the car.
Feel free to post a question over there

There is a Mallett Nassau Blue convert on E --- that is closing on Saturday AM. about $33200 At 8:30 Eastern time. . 396 CI 475 crank HP. Really nice car. Mallett is very comparable to the LPE that you have. Both top notch builders. lol, No I am not associated with Mallett. Matter of fact I own an LPE built C5. lol.
