Have only seen a few of the purple C5s - including the Platinum Purple one. Pretty rare cars in terms of color. I too had a Black Rose C4 - a '94 coupe. It was a great color.
I'm really on the fence about purple Corvettes. Generally, I like purple on other cars, ie,
Plum Crazy Cudas & Challengers (old & new), Iris metallics on Impalas & GTOs. However, I really can't get into any purple Corvettes...hate the 98 Pace Car. I know it's officially a radar blue but bottom line it's a clown car, purple with yellow wheels.
Sometimes I think the purple pearl C5s could be nice but I have not seen any in person, so I'm reserving comment Some pictures are very nice, like the old IRIS metallic yet other pictures look too girly, too much like a gumdrop. If I had one, I would re-do the interior to a bone white color or light grey and high light it with some purple matching piping ... like Porsche does with their custom interior options.
Yea, here's a pic of mine. And one on the day I drove 16 hours to Iowa to pick her up. She got wrecked and is no longer here, but she was 1 of 384 I believe to be factory made in this color. Looked black on darker days and a brilliant purple on sunny days. Truth be told, I'd have this color as my dream car again some day. Once I get the money to go back...haha, torch red shall settle for now tho!

I've always liked the Black Rose C4 color... Kinda wish they would have offered a Black Rose C5...
I know of 3 Purple C5's that were made, (Platinum Purple, Radar Purple, Purple Pearl Metalic) ... Did i miss any?... Just wondering if you guys had any more photos of your Purple Vettes or Custom Purple Vettes?
I'm starting to like the Purple Pearl Metalic. I know it is a rare color. Would like to see some photos if anyone has any. Could be my next purchase.

So, what's the story behind that one? I'm assuming from your screen name that it's for sale? Can't believe I've never posted pictures of mine in this thread.
