Did GM ever do a factory grape? I know they had a pearl purple on the LT1s and there are a handfull of C5's with that pearl purple, but I've never seen a factory "grape purple" TA.

The only years of purple Firebirds/Camaros were:
1967 - Plum Mist (called Royal Plum on Camaros)
1992 - Purple Haze Metallic (only on Camaros)
1993-1994 - Gray Purple Metallic (both)
1995-1996 - Med Dark Purple Metallic (both)
1997-1998 - Bright Purple Metallic (both)

"they made only 10 Purple Ram Air’s & released only 6 to the public (only 2 6spd’s ) and only a few hundred Purple Non Ram Air’s. The story I got is that the color was pulled 3 days after they started production due to paint problems. There were a lot of Orders for the purple but all of them got spit back out. GM then introduced a new color in mid 98 to replace the Purple. (Navy Blue Metallic)." The color is called bright purple metallic LSWON the guy that wrote the wire mod tutorial has one he has a website with pics of the car and the story of how he got it...

^ All of the purple ones are rare, but the regular cars aren't as rare as the WS6 ones, so it's probably not worth quite as much.
Great link, thanks for posting that!
