Well naturally everybody is going to come on here and say thier car is the rarest color. I think the Purple was the rarest color. Although theres a lot of other rare colors like gold. I know Monterrey Maroon Mettalic is rare too, I think in all my time owning my car Ive only seen 3 other ones driving around, although that doesnt include the ugly non-mettalic maroon LT1s.

Some factory colors were not produced as much as others, but the rarest colors are the ones people have custom painted and that were never mass produced.

He said rares color on an F-Body, I think the oldes f-body I saw was a 93, there has got to be an rarer color, maybe in the 60s? 70s? I have one of 3 artic white T/A's that I have seen around here, 2 T/As and 1 ******* in a ws6. witch goes to show you no matter how good you think your car is, somebody somewhere has something better

How about the 2002 ZL1 Camaro? 1 of 69 made and there were other colors from 1969 and other years.

Everything I say about the color of my cars is based on production numbers.... the rarity of the color is the whole reason I bought them. I've seen 1 Z28 this color driving around town, never seen another Firebird other than my own. I know I'll probably never see another purple WS6 on the road unless I'm going to a large F-body meet.

There's only like 5-6 purple F-bodies on this whole site.

Did you buy Jantzer's Formula from him? I know that he lived in Oregon, and that he sold it, but never saw the guy he sold it to around.
