my brother has a 98 z28 vert with a white top... i'm doing some stuff for him... ss hood/spoiler, manta stripe, berger panel, wheels, black top... and i'll take some pics when it's done. the color is definately awesome. i think it'll look sweet as hell with the ss hood.

That gray/purple color was only on 93-94 cars. It's more common than the 97-98 BPM cars I believe. I can't think of the name of the other color right now. I almost bought one back in about 98.

thankfully this thread isn't in the midwest section. Poor Gav was scolded for mentioning a purple Z28.

It's gonna look much nicer with some 17" ET streets on the rears.

keep the purple and keep it mint. you'll probably never run into one again.

my gf was saying the car would look real nice with a SS hood.
i was thinking about it. what i would probably do is keep the oem hood and use the SS one until i decide to sell it.
purple is an odd color for a car...

I'd dump the money into performance mods.

Wouldn't want an SS hood on a non SS car. Something different maybe.

Don't you DARE repaint that car! I'd love to have one after seeing one in person last year. If you don't like it why'd you buy it? I purposely painted my 86 S10 GM Radar purple. That's another sweet GM purple color.

i probably wont paint it. i bought it because it was cheap and i figured if i really wanted to paint it then i would do it later down the road.

i got it in sacramento, CA. i live in orange county fullerton CA but i was in sacramento visiting family. I drove my eclipse gst up there and i ended up selling it. I got lucky and found the purple z28 for sale. I talked the guy down from $8900 to $6800. It has 87000 miles, i think its a good price.

but i do like the color. i'll keep it. i want a different hood for the car though, know of any good ones?

You suck! $6800 for it with only 87K?!?!? I can't even find a 98+ V6 around here for that kind of money and those miles! Personally I'd put a cowl hood on it or a VFN/Sonoco style hood. Everybody puts SS hods on Z's. Not a whole lot do cowl hoods, least around me.

purple 98 z/28 m6, 96.5k miles on it, no reserve

no bids on it so far, 7.5k 17 hours left, has buy it now set at 9.5k

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-...QQcmdZViewItem

looks like a pretty good deal, from how he describes it, sat on dealers lot for 2 or 3 years. had tranny and rear end rebuilt last year, would guess its alot of highway miles with 97k in just over 6 years. looks like a hell of a deal

edit: on second look, is that even the same colour?

Are you color blind? It says BURGANDY right in the description. NOWHERE NEAR the purple we're talking about!
