i would only question it, cause it has the painted or decaled manta scoop, which could suggest paint job, or that it wouldnt make a good collector cause it has been molested already. Not a huge fan of the color but ive seen worse

Hey now, don't hate on the gold. It's actually nice looking in person. Especially with some black wheels and a black Berger to offset the bling-ness.

That said, I think that car is ugly as hell. A vert and those wheels just don't do the car justice.

Its a nice car, but at most its worth 10k. I will never understand why people will pay more because of a "rare" color. Sure the gold and purple were probable the 2 rarest colors but Im sure any car that was custom ordered is somewhat rare if you break down all the options it had. Ive seen a couple ads where the person selling the car says something like " 99 Camaro SS, 1 of only 200 SS's that had cloth seats, with manual windows, and a CD changer very rare car.

This car is about a mile from my house, it has been for sale for a long time. Apparently being rare and ugly isn't always a good thing (not to mention over priced). It does seem to be really clean though.

Agreed. I'll take my leather seats, power windows, and 12 disc cd changer and smile all the way home...

I hate it when people try to make their cars more rare than they actually are.. Just like that.

But I will say that the car in the original post is pretty rare. I think it looks pretty good. I'd rock it.
