Fairway green C5
I know that aztec gold is the rarest color for the c5 corvette with having only like 10 ever produced. I also know that fairway green is very rare with just over 200 produced. Is the fairway green convertible a valuable car or is it just a different color that holds a similar value to red. I was just wondering because someone local is selling a 98 Fairway green vert with 50k miles and a six speed for only 17 grand. This seems to be a steal to me. What do you guys think? If anybody is interested i could pass on the information.

there were only 60 fairway green convertibles made in '98..
I think it's one of the nicest colors.
I say go for it!
here is a pic of my friends '98 fairway green vert...
he sold it over a year ago to buy a '63 vert.

WOW!! I love that color, I love my M.Y. and my opinion the best color. However I never seen that green, that is now my second favorite color. Chrome 00-04 thin 5 spokes would look so much better on that. Beautiful car, I love it.

you really need to see this color in person! in the sun!
the mag wheels match the car much better with the oak interior than chrome...

The Fairway Green color is very nice on the C5 - but obviously wasn't real popular. As to it's value - probably not worth any more than any other C5, but as always it depends on what someone is willing to pay for it. If the car is is good shape and you really like the color combo, then go for it.
