I know one of the US '98 SS 1LE's is NBM, the others black and silver respectively IIRC. The export car is white. I have records for all four on my home PC.

now here's the thing, according to camaroz28.com that color was only produced in 1999 . . . unless that SS is a 99, i really don't think that's the factory paint. body color mirrors and and the 35th anniversary SS decals make you asuume it's a 2002, but that color wasn't produced . . . . . unless thats a beger/GMMG camaro!!!!!!

I was under the impression that bright blue metalic was a '99 only color and that it was not available on the SS (at least it wasn't when I ordered my HOSS).
You could not get all colors in SS trim. I don't know why this is, but I remember it giving restrictions on the order form. Maybe it was too difficult for SLP to match the paint for the hoods and spoilers, or maybe they just didn't want to deal with all the color changes. There were 10 colors officially offered on the '99 Camaro. Of those I believe that only 7 were available on the SS (no M. Teal, B. Blue, or B. Green). I will try to dig out my sales brochure and other material to check if it confirms that, but that's what my memory is telling me.
Of course I was only interested in ordering a HOSS, but I really do like that Bright Blue Metallic too.

As far as I remember,this color was only available in 99'.It was NOT available for the SS packaged cars.Now,that does not mean that there weren't any SS made in that color.
I have noticed that GM will let some early production cars out the gate before they discontinue the combo for whatever reason.Example would be the Purple WS6s in 98',Sport Gold metallic WS6s....etc.The brochures may at times say that a certain combo is not available but,just for a couple of cars,they might let a few go of a particular combo.
I'm kinda thinking that blue Camaro might not be the real thing.The side mirrors are body colored like 2000+ even though that color was a 99' only color.Other stuff like the stripes,chrome TTMs and the fender emblems could be added at any time...Hmmmmmmmmmmm....
Carlos01SS.......Awesome Z28 man!!

So basically we still don't know if this is in fact true or not regarding the existence of a 99 BBM SS???
