Just curious, what exterior color is that? Nassau Blue? Every other picture of Nassau Blue makes the color seem very light.
Great color.

Nassau Blue was only on C5's from 1997 - 2000. I think thats LeMans Blue... but I could be mistaken. No matter, great car and great color!

Yes, it's LeMans Blue which I think was only available on the 04 C/E cars. I had my heart set on spiral gray or anniversary red but this grew on my pretty fast. Thanks for all the thumbs up folks! It's great to be a part of the Forum.

Congrats on your new purchase! I have a twin to yours. I love it! Did yours come with the painted top also? Mine came with a painted top, then I hunted down a really nice clear top. Yes the color is Lemans Blue, they still use that color on the new C6's. My story is a little different. I took my mother in law to a Ford dealer to purchase a new Taurus. They had a used 04' CE coupe sitting on the new car showroom, it had seven hundred miles on it. After talking to my wife about it and waiting a few weeks we decided to see if they still had it. Yup it was still there, so.......... we bought it. What a wonderful car. David

Congratulations man! My story is much the same, had a Firebird, had a Z28, but I've wanted a Vette from the day I got my license 30 some years ago. I finally fulfilled my dream a few weeks ago. Enjoy it, I've been falling asleep with a smile on my face every night since I brought it home.

Exactly how I felt just a couple of years ago. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I would ever own a C5 Corvette!
