Oooooo, that’s pretty.

I am a fan of aztec gold myself, though the rarity makes it hard to find (only 8 were made?)

I feel like there is a reason that color is so rare...

Yeah, consistent color was nearly impossible to get. The flakes were the wrong type or size so panels and bumpers were hard to match.

But is inferior to Night Race Blue.

That’s cool. Goodwood green is cooler, though.

Cooler car, worse green.

 Cooler name for the color. I wish Chevy would go back to naming colors after races/tracks.

I think the C7 pulled it off well with Lime Rock Green.

Sebring Orange and Watkins Glen Grey are current colors

That's actually a nice color. Shame it wasn't available on the ZO6.

Yeah. Because Corvette owners only drive  to golf courses.

It is the best C5 color, IMO, and it’s too bad it was only a tiny portion of production used it. These are often given a premium price in the used marketplace as a result.

Only on the 1997 and 1998 models, for a grand total of (155 +223 =) 378 cars, as I understand it.

In 1998 31,084 Corvettes were produced, 223 were Fairway Green, so less than 1%. ( https://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/specs/c5/1998/98prod.html )

I wish there was a green Z06, but at least yellow has pedigree....

Considering the rarity of the color, I am 100% sure that one is the second car I pictured.

The lines on the door look different. The second one you pictured has an extra line, and the reflector looks to have chrome around it.

It could have just been de-boomered. That line is just a trim strip, and I’m pretty sure it’s just glued on.
