I am looking for the other 1999 Hugger Orange Camaro SS, hard top, M6 with Chrome wheels. I know where one is. I am just curious where the other one is.

Yea you would have to send that over to SLP and see what SLP options the car came with.

My boss and I both were wondering the same thing about the wheels. Hugger Orange looks so good with chrome wheels it seems like more hard top cars would have been ordered with chrome.

I saved the VIN # and pictures of the car when it was for sale on ebay or another classified site. It barely had any miles on it, like around 8 miles. You just got lucky that I had it lol.

Chrome wheels were RPO code N98. The wheels for '99 SSes should show up on the regular GM order and not be specific to SLP necessarily. I suppose it's possible you could have the car originally equipped with silver painted and opt for SLP's optional chrome ones. Don't know.

The car I mentioned above had N98 and chrome ZR1s in the pics.

How did you come up with 1 of 2?

I was under the impresssion that all 96-00 SLP cars were shipped with painted wheels and SLP switched to the chrome ones if the customer opted too. But I am probably wrong

My boss broke the numbers down from SLPs data and ended up with 1 of 2 Hugger Orange SS, M6, hard top with chrome wheels.

For the most part, I actually agree with you, but in this case, besides the chrome wheels, everything about this car being rare makes it pretty unusual and desireable. I'd personally rather have chrome wheels, so, in my opinion, that's a valid breakdown.

Here's pics of the one I mentioned earlier.

Thats crazy. Did they post a better picture of the SLP option sticker? A friend of mine did an auto check on the car and the VIN has been inactive sense 2004. Was the ebay auction after 04?

Interesting, unlike on the Firebird, 1LE didn't require M6 or SS from '98-'00.

CompNine's breakdown of '99 HO 1LE Camaros shows:

11 were M6, 2 were A4 (one of the A4s was an SS).

Will have to dig a little further to determine how many of those 11 M6s were SS.

Of the '99 SS 1LE Camaros:

7 were M6, 1 was A4 (the HO).

Again, need to dig a little further to determine the overlap of HO/M6/SS/1LE. CompNine is down for a few days, I'll edit this post when I have the info.

That thing is IMMACULATE.

It really needs to be dropped though, it's sitting way too high.
