Default Is this a rare color?
My dad just bought this NSX. It's a 2000. I'd never seen one in this color before. Is it rare?

Wrong. Since the car is a 2000 NSX, that color is Monaco Blue Pearl, which was available in 2000-2001, and not Long Beach Blue Pearl, which was available 2002-2005. Monaco Blue Pearl is a bright bluish purple, whereas Long Beach Blue Pearl is blue all the way.

44 of the 8,949 NSXs sold in the United States were Monaco Blue Pearl. You can see all the production numbers and breakdown by color, transmission, and body style here.

Close, very close. Good guess. It is in fact, Monaco Blue Pearl and fairly rare. In person, the color is almost translucent and in the sun, it seems to vary b/t a bluish purple and a medium shade of blue.

One of my fav colors. I think Imola and Lime Green are a little more striking though.

Would be nice to know how many of those 8,949 NSX's are still on the road.

So its an OEM color but definitely considered to be a rare one.

So what does your dad think so far? Tell him he may need to get a front lip spoiler - I think it's missing.

A recent thread over at NSXPrime ( within a year I think ) leads to believe that with salvaged and total loss NSXs, the number is under 7000, but to what extent is unknown.
