Have a friend who has his heart set on a Nassua Blue/white interior for his wife's 60th birthday (a few months off). He's a cash buyer - any leads appreciated.

I have seen a car in those colors too recently. I use hanks helper so may have seen it on there. Give it a try. good luck
I actually thought there was a CF member that had a car like this for sale recently (a PG car converted to 4 spd??), but maybe I'm not remembering correctly - wouldn't be the first time.
The buyer is pretty set on the Nassau blue/white ('65,'66) or Marina ('67). Note he originally was looking for a '66 but is expanding...maybe the color is negotiable, but I don't think so.
nassau blue/bright blue 1966 roadster 300hp. a/c, p/g,ps,pb,pw,teakwheel,ht
car is in shop now for paint going from white back to its original color. Real ladies car...don't know if MY wife will sell...she might
I've actually been shopping and while this advice holds true regardless of colors, here is what I have found. There must be something about Nassau/Marina Blue with Blue and White interior, as I have found 3 (all Powerglides, which is good because that's what I need) that all had trim tag issues, either reproduction trim tags without ECL codes on a St. Louis body, or possibly real ones from other cars with ECL codes that excluded powerglides.
I have not limited myself to particular colors, but if authenticity is important to you, and if my experience lately is typical, Blue on Blue and White is ripe for bogus trim tags.
I did, however, find an honest to goodness 65 with powerglide, #'s matching block, trans, and diff, and blue and white leather that appears genuine based on NCRS' senior judges who viewed VIN and trim tags for the car. I was beginning to think I should ignore all Nassau/Marina Blue cars after finding 3 in a row where someone in the past changed trim tags.
Now why anyone would gimick trim plates on 327/300 powerglide cars, is just mind boggling. And we are talking about patently obvious trim tag discrepencies that anyone can spot just by checking online trim tag decoders, not trying to figure out if a trim tag is a real one or the real one for that car.
I don't mind people restoring Corvettes the way they like them, just leave the trim and vin tags and engine stamps alone, if you do decide that you want it with a different color scheme or options.
