I haven't seen a Fairway Green C5 in several years. There used to be a couple here in Houston.

It is a rare color for sure. It was only available in 97 & 98 and a total of 378 were produced. In 2000 they went to Dark Bowling Green Matalic for that year and the 01 and the remainder of the C5 run did not offer any shade of green.

That is a very rare car. Do you have any idea how many came with the Light Oak top and Interior. In 98 I know they only produces a total of 223. That is the perfect combination. Very nice car.
Although Torch Red is the best color for a Corvette, as John Heinricy once said "All Corvette's are Red the rest are mistakes"

There were only 60 convertibles made in FG. If you factor in the Light Oak interior and top, maybe around 20. Throw in the 6-speed and there's probably a handful or two.

wow,looks great......I have the oak top as well, unbeliable the comments I get about the oak top versus the black. Your car looks great with the green/oak top combo. There are are plenty with my colour (BLACK) but not too many in my area with the oak top.

No, unfortunately not. I understand that there was a FG/grey/white convertible there. It was also featured in a magazine article a little while ago. There was only one of that combo made, according to the owner.

When you throw in the fact that you've got the super rare export wheels on the car, I wouldn't be surprised if you've got the only one of it's kind in existence! That car looks awesome! Fairway Green has always been one of my favorite C5 colors, and those wheels are one of my favorites too.

I love it. That looks great. I have seen a few in the past with the wagon wheel, but that particular color combo really pops with the magnesium rims.

This car is owned by the woman who lead the 15th Anniversary Caravan to the Corvette Museum this passed Labor Day weekend. To the best of my knowledge this car resides in Punta Gorda, Florida.
