The 370z came out in 2009 and at that time nissan
offered a special paint option for $500. C Yellow was
the option for that year. I know, I had one and paid the extra
$500 to get it. I don't remember the special color for 2010,
but the 2011 color was Black Cherry Metallic. After 2011
they discontinued the option and the black Cherry stuck around for around for several years. I loved my C Yellow Z. I used get
comments from people weekly. One time a guy in the crosswalk
was so busy looking at the car that he tripped and fell
flat on his face. His buddies were laughing so hard.
Unfortunately my yellow Z had the catastrophic engine oil
leak problem and the engine had to be replaced. Three
times, at the dealers expense. Then I lemon lawed it in 2011
and got all my money back less $5,000. I used the
refund to get a 2012 Monterey Blue Pearl that I still own.
The Blue Z has been flawless but I still miss the Yellow one,
I have never had a car the drew so much positive attention.
The reason I got the blue one is that sadly there was no
Yellow available in 2012. Interesting fact, there are no blue
Nismo's. I don't know if that has changed since 2013 but
originally Nismo's only came in red, white, and black.
So my blue Z is even rarer than the yellow.
That is the story of Chicane Yellow. I think they brought it back a few years later for a while?
Cheers!
Cheers!
