AB is a very nice color, but as you saw also pretty rare

This one on CF looks nice http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...e-29000-a.html (for some reason I couldn't get the link posted before to work)

If AB is THE color for you, then save and wait. When I began my search I really wanted a Steel Blue 90. Well, I waited a while, but I couldn't wait forever I'm happy with my red one.

Good luck on the search

Like Jay in the OP, I also drive a '94 AB LT1 (mine an A4 w/ 3.07) and I also really want a blue Z someday. I've wanted that since I was a kid in the early 90's.

The production numbers are slim. Even when you combine Quasar and Admiral, you still only have 172 Z's between 90-95. Throw in Aqua and its still just 226. That's a 6 year production run and three shades of blue... and only 226 originally made.

In comparison, Competition Yellow itself had 192 ZR-1's, and nobody would accuse that color of being common!

With that said, I don't think I'd be able to hold out if I was on the market. I like a lot of the colors - including the common reds and blacks. Especially red. Only a matter of time before I'm a regular over on this forum. Haha.

I've been fortunate to have owned an Aqua/Gray 92, and now a 92 Black Rose.
Both fairly rare colors.

When look at interior colors with the above some get very uncommon.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm a pretty young guy no wife no kids lol so I can definitely save but I don't think C4s and ZR1s will stay at bottomed out low prices for more than 2-4 more years.

So if I'd be paying at least 25-30 k right now for an AB then it means prob paying 30-35k maybe 40k if I take too long to save.

Guess I'll just have to stay wife and kid free
