Reference Chart:


I figure some people will get a kick out of the production number for some of the rare 240sx colors. I was able to view the VIN database file with a text editor and searched how many instances of each paint code showed up for the 240sx. It might not be 100% accurate, but I'm confident these numbers are 99% accurate.

S13 Rare Colors:
Purple Gray Pearl (#LK0): 47 (31 fastbacks, 16 coupes)
Lavender Frost Metallic (#LG1): 234
Creamy Yellow Two-Tone (#5G8): 686
Silver Green Pearl (#FG0): 784
Aspen White Pearl (#WK0): 1193
Sapphire Blue (#TK3): 1319
Silver Green Two-Tone (#5G7): 2286

S13 Convertible Colors:
Cherry Red Pearl (#AH3): 482
Super Black (#KH3): 2376
Super White (#326): 2590
Aztec Red (#AG2): 2617

S14 Rare Colors:

Starfire Blue (#BN6): 202
Mediterranean Blue (#BP3): 482
Silver Moss (#KR5): 549
Cobalt Green Pearl (#DN1): 1270
Concord Gray (#LN1): 2326

S15 Rare Colors:
Super White (#326): 123
Aqua Silver Metallic (#BN5): 198
Sonic Silver (#KR4): 254
Signal Red (#AR2): 574

S15 (Non-Rare) Colors:
Brilliant Blue (#TV3): 5574
Pewter (#WV2): 9505

For all of the other colors I have not listed, they have greater than 3000 units and I would not deem them rare.

Only ones I've seen were a creamy yellow two-tone and a starfire blue s14. Starfire is by far one of the greatest colors I've ever seen on an schassis. The owner didn't even know what he had but I made sure to let him know to leave the paint alone. lol

I love silver moss!

I have a BN6 kouki... Its not an original though haha. That and silvermoss are both awesome colors.

I see Deep Fushia S14s all over the place. Maybe that number is the amount of cars without that paint code.

I have been working on buying one for my buddy who is deployed and I have gone to look at 3 that are that color. I doubt they are original but it seems to be a popular repaint, bet it was done for wives and gfs and such.

Damn, I knew Starfire was rare but not 202 rare. Lol. Glad I chose to paint my S14 that color. Starfire Zenki... haahhaaha

Unfortunately, yours isn't original. Originals are worth more than the typical repaint. Just like if I repainted my silver coupe to sea-foam green two tone, it ain't worth more than an original.

^i was thinking the exact thing... made like 5 dumb threads in a week.

zerodameaon

Please take your hate elsewhere. These threads are a prime example of usefulness, something a lot of threads do not have these days. Maybe someone has a silver moss s14 and they want to repaint it blue or something, maybe they see what Killer has posted and decide to keep it original. Neither of you have room to speak as all you have started are for sale threads.

Forgot I also cut up a lavender frost car about 4 years ago that was a total rot box. I may still have a quarter panel off it lol.

Are these numbers including Canada aswell?

Bambi

Never even knew or heard of that color before. First time seeing it was in this thread. Wish there was more examples!

No, USA numbers only.

edit:

Canadian database is showing 144 Lavender Frosts and 739 Midnight Blue Pearls.... 16 Deep Fuschias!!!

I know where at TH1 is at. This one has the dark blue interior as well. The paint has deteriorated so bad it almost looks black now.

yomisiu

usefulness? really? can you read the title of this thread?

"Production Numbers For Rare 240sx Colors"

i can see an OEM 240sx paint thread being useful, which would work with the scenario you threw out. but this? not very useful.

You seem to not understand my scenario. Say someone has one of these cars, they think it is not rare and want to paint it pink, they happen across this thread, see it is very rare and decide to repaint it Midnight blue(the stock color) instead of pink because there are only 35 of them. Your argument is again invalid.

It is to make people who have nothing else going on with their car except its old weathered paint that nobody wanted when the car was new so Nissan only produced a limited number to still have something to feel special about.
