Default Got my 1st Vette!!!!!!

Hey guys, I just bought my 1st vette. It is a 1998 Nassau Blue Convertible with a white convertible top light gray interior with 58,000 miles. All stock. Does anyone know how rare this color and white top is??

Congrats!


As far as how rare it is, I dont know. I can tell you this, there were 1,098 Nassau Blue Corvettes made, thats including the coupes, and out of all the convertibles made there were 843 with white tops. Its hard to tell exactlly how many cars with your color combination were made. The Corvette Museum is working on a database for stuff like that though but its going to take some time.
