Lots of WS6's I had almost bought a SOM TA(non WS6) but it was an auto and I wanted a stick. They had a WS6 TA Vert that the dealer manager was driving as a demo but even with knocking off some for it being a demo they still wanted $38K for it! Still kinda wish I had gotten the TA. Black gets old quick!

Sweet rides, SOM is one of my favorite F-body colors.

I'd do a "purple" thread, but there would be like 4 cars in it, and I'd own half of them.

Hugger was only a Camaro color. There was an older Maple metallic that sort of looked orange in the right light. It was supposed to be a bugandy color.

Not my car, but someone from my car club.




Although, my Red T/A does look a little orange in the wrong sunlight.

Actually Hugger was a Camaro only color, as was mentioned earlier...

But in 1998 there was a color called "Red-Orange Chameleon"... I believe on the Camaro they called it "Cayenne Red Metallic"...
