2000 FRC Nassau Blue (low miles)
NEW LOWER PRICE!!! $16,000...or most reasonable offer....PICTURES IN LOWER POST NOW!
Hello!
I've not posted on here much, I know, but I'm looking at selling my 2000 FRC (Fixed Roof Coupe) in Nassau Blue that currently has 46,010 miles.
I'm the second owner of this car. I bought back in 2006 when I live in Kansas City, traded in my '87 convertible for it.
Anyway, as long as I've owned it, it has always been in the garage. It's never been on a drag strip, but I did take it to Topeka a few years ago and took some laps around the road course at Heartland Park with some of the KC Area guys, other than that it's been no more than a daily driver except for the last 8 years.
For those who don't know, here's a little history on the Nassau Blue FRC. Needless to say, it's extremely rare. In the 2000 production run they only made a total of 2058 FRC's, and of the 2058 made, only 189 were in Nassau Blue! That's saying all 189 are still on the road, which doing some minor research on here, I found one that had been totaled. So, at minimum there are only 188 left.
So, enough about history, I'm sure you want to see the car.
As you can see, I've upgraded the rims to the C6 chrome ZR1 option, but they are OEM in size on Goodyears with at least 90% tread life.
In case you're wondering, yes I still have the OEM rims. They are on some older Kuhmo runflats that still have at least 50% of the tread left, but they are probably 8 years old. With that said, they have the 2000 OEM tire pressure sensors in them, and the ones on the car now, I bought from my Dad when he sold his 2002. So, the tire pressure sensor doesn't like the '02 sensors and will show an monitor error because of that. So, you might need to swap them, if you choose to keep the ZR1 rims on.
Interior picture
You might have noticed the LOC on the OEM CD/radio. I just recently put a new battery in the car, and as you know that happens sometimes. That's an easy fix, and I can have that cleared before you pic it up. The CD player still works, and the Bose radio still pumps music just fine!
The only minor issue with this Corvette is that the OEM digital screen on the climate control system has faded. I've thought about pulling it and soldering the wires back up to fix it, but I just haven't had the time to do it.
Engine...
You might have noticed the upgraded intake? You're right, it is! That's a Halltech Stinger Ram Air induction system, with the Halltech Tric Systems Magic Box! This sucks SO much air in that when you have the windows down, and the music off, you'll think you have a small turbo because of the small whistle it creates!
The VIN #
The only thing that I've ever had to do to this car was back on my birthday, probably 8 year ago. I was coming out of a steep exit at a gas station and trying to take it at and angle so as not to hit the lower nose. When I did I caught a rock I didn't see at the edge of the exit and I scratched up the lower rocker panel below the passenger side door. I had it professional fixed and they did a PERFECT job, so you can't even tell anything was ever done to it.
Also of note. I have installed the Bypass system on this car, so no worries there about wheel lock happening.
If you have any other questions, please let me know. If you want more pictures I can do that, but if it requires pulling it outside of the garage, I won't be able to do that today as it's raining right now, but I can!
THANK YOU for checking her out!

Thanks for looking, and the reply. Though, I feel that I'm at least in the ballpark. I did some research before posting and only found two nationwide that were for sale, both had few miles (only by about 15,000) and both were priced $2000 to $4000 higher than mine.
I'm willing to listen to reasonable offers, if you're interested.

Love the Nassau Blue FRC's! That halltech system, was the best true CAI system ever made. I had the same system before going to a blower. Goodluck with your sale!

Thank you for checking out my add NV. Yes, the Halltech system is very good, I agree. By the way, your FRC looks amazing! Very well done!

Always loved this color! Just be patient with selling the car and lowering your asking price. Unfortunately, your buying pool will most likely be limited to a buyer looking for an original Nassau Blue FRC Corvette. There were only 391 FRC's painted that color between 1999 and 2000.
It's the same thing I went through when I sold my 2004 Z06/Z16; there were cheaper 04' Z06's available at the time but none of them were an all original low mileage Z06/Z16. I was able to get pretty close to my asking price; I was very happy that I was patient with selling the car.

If any of you know someone looking for a great Corvette with low miles, and you can help me sell it, I'll give you $100 cash for hooking them up with me when the transaction is done. I appreciate it! DM me if you'd like my cell #.

I took her out of a spin with a friend who's never had a chance to ride in a Corvette over the weekend. She runs great! Still looking for a good new home. Miles are now 46,016 though.
Thanks for looking!

You get a bump because I'm sitting here fuming wishing this was for sale a few years back and I don't think people understand how good of a deal a sub-$17K NB FRC is with this mileage
