Default Post pics of SGM Birds!

This thread probably won't get many hits because there is only 235 Trans Ams in this color. I want to see some SGM cars with Black wheels.

I am thinking of getting C5 Z06's in black or TTM's in black and want to get a better idea of it.

Here's a couple pics of a 1 of 1 1998 SGM 1LE Formula WS6 that was at the Tipp City Cruise (T/A nationals cruise night) in 2008. I don't have any pics of any with black wheels though.









and a WS6 T/A that was there in 2009.

Closest I would suggest is a ceta.
Ceta looks good with black wheels.

Chrome/polished not so much.

there was a thread asking for pics of this color within the past few months. all of those ^ pics posted above
were in it as well as some others. might want to look that up. my cousins trans am is that color, but i've never
seen it in person. i just saw one, a ws6, on craigslist yesterday for $3500, they didnt mention anything wrong
and the pics showed nothing, but there has to be something if they're selling ot for that low.

no i don't think that is a super rare color on a 78. it was a special edition just like the black and gold "bandit" was in 77-81. I think the gold edition only ran from 78-79 but they also had regular gold trans ams then too. the gold wasn't exclusive to the gold edition.
