What color is this Trans Am!?!?!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1999-...item3a5602b955

I thought at first it was a BGM, but as I did a little research I think the BGM only came in 98... Obviously this car is a 99.

Anybody know 100% what the color is?

Thanks!

I have seen about 3 different colors it could be.. Hitman- Are you 100% sure it is chameleon? What is the exact name of the color?

I am interested in the car for the GF but she is not sure about the color, I want to see more TA's of the exact color to show her.

Also.... Check out the pic of the engine.. In one of them you can see the fuel rail.. Something weird looking is on the end, you also can see some wires going to the throttle blade..

I'm thinking the wires on the throttle have something to do with a WOT switch and the others have something to do with nitrous.. Not sure why they wouldn't have just put the cap back on though. Maybe some cheap rigged up kit?

Its Blue-Green Chameleon, that color was available up until 01. In 02 it was replaced by Bright Silver Metallic.

The car was built 11-6-98. Nice find. I'd take a look if I didn't have so much invested into mine. I like the color. Looks to be in good shape.

looks like it has a WOT switch and look at the slp lid on the sides. It has 2 lines that could be old nitrous lines or something.

Nice catch, didn't even notice those..
Maybe it will be a way to talk them down a bit?

Anybody know how to get a free carfax? The thing on there says it had an accident reported?

Yea, she got banged up a little.. Did a number on the car.

What is the best way to look for cars online? I usually only look on tech.com, haven't been having a lot of luck on here though..
