I remember him... i think he was Sebass or something like that... i knew him in fla, he had a 97 T/A and IIRC it was a corvette color from around the same time (so early C5 vette color most likely)

the car was turbo'd too

In 1993 they had a color called Purple Pearl Metallic (PPM), that would be my guess/shot at it. It is a factory color.


Here is a 1993 Z28 in PPM:
