Got Purple ?
Got Purple?
Anyone got photos of Purple C5's?
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.
Thanks

There's some pics of Amythest Purple running around (I liken it to the Purple Pearl of the 93-95 F-Body's).
A black rose vette would be VERY VERY

Found a photo of the Platinum Purple Metalic,... Only 1 produced 
Bottom: Also found a photo of a Purple Pearl Metalic in the F/S section (This is the car i like, PPM Coupe with BSM's).
These are some rare colors.

Haven't seen many purple C5s - I did have a black rose '94 that was actually a very nice color.

Very sweet color ! I remember looking at the dealers manual in 1998 and thinking how gross the Purple would look on a C5. Then I saw one in person.... WOW !
The manual was not even close in color. I loved that purple in person ! 
This color (95U) was only produced in 1998 and only 381 were sold on C5's that year...
Rare color for sure... Toque

LOL, the pace car with decals removed just looks bad IMO. With the yellow wheels and one door decal, you can definitely tell something is missing.

I always loved the '98 pace car. (although most people mock me for it) I even looked for one before I got my Nassau.

Does anyone know the story with this Purple C4 ZR1 at the Museum?.. I've seen it in several photos. But never heard the story behind it. Was it the same one sold at Barrett-Jackson in the GM Collection sale?.

At the local cruise night this past Friday, a '98 pace car parked next to my Zedness. As the guy was getting out of his car, I told him he was lucky it wasn't a C4 that he was parking next to me. 
Back in 2000 when I was looking for a new Corvette, a stealership that I went to had a pace car. I did consider it, but it was an automatic.
