42 purple '98 TA ragtops were built.

Would LOVE to see pics of that white interior, that's gotta multiply the rarity factor. Only 137 of the total 1413 TA 'verts total had white leather.

Data showing a breakdown to option/color combos doesn't exist, or it's been hiding extremely well the last 11 years I've been collecting data. Short of taking all of the purple ragtop VINs and running them all through GM-VIS to get interior option codes for every purple 'vert, I don't think that level of detail data will ever surface.

Hmm. It seems like there are a few purple TA's haunting Texas....I should keep my eyes peeled. I'd like to get one in about 2 years and make some minor interior mods to it I'd chime in about purple's awesomness, but Im a chick-I guess my opinion doens't count on that topic

I wonder if this thread breaks the record for the oldest revived???
Vegatron, sounds like you have quite a unique ride for sale. it should fetch serious $$$ (possibly over $10k) but we need to have a lot more details about the car. You should post in the 'What's It Worth" section in the classifieds here. Don't forget the details (any history, clear title, condition, etc...).

Sorry for the minor-hijack but my "dark blue" looks purple in the sun, this is a factory paint job, were all the dark blue 2002's WS6's pearlized and what is the official color of this?

I believe the color you're thinking of is Navy Blue Metallic. That's the color of my 99 Z28, I'm not sure if there was another dark blue color option for the WS.6, but I believe that's just how that color is
