I didn't see what it sold for, no... I think they started the bidding @ ~$35K.

It's a 30th Anniversary Trans Am that was painted Navy Blue Metallic, with white stripes and white wheels. They only built one like that, all the rest were white with blue stripes and blue wheels.

According to SS himself we will probably never know the 02 SS numbers by option code. He also said that more than likely my 02, blk, SS, 1LE, Auburn, HT, A4, Leather is one of one. HA!

I don't feel dealer cars (Bergers, etc...) should be considered since they are rare because they were made to be rare. I feel we should look at the cars that are rare just because it just happened that way in production.

Just a few examples that there were no more than 100 made from the factory:

:opening my new Camaro White Book:

1998

239 B4C's but many rare cars in the single digits due to color and transmission options...

Only 99 1LE's (only 12 automatics, many of these are 1 of 1's due to color)

Only 50 Bright Purple Metallic Convertibles (only 14 Z28's)

Only 15 had a "non-standard paint color", whatever the hell that means

Only 13 Light Pewter Convertible Camaros (10 Z28's making the V6 more rare)

Only 12 B4C 6-speeds

Only 7 Sport Gold Metallic Convertible SS's

Only 1 Mystic Teal SS

1999

196 B4C's but only 1 Bright Blue Metallic Auto B4C and many single digit rare cars due to color and tranny combos

Only 74 1LE's (only 8 autos and many single digit rare cars due to color and tranny combos)

Only 57 Bright Blue Metallic Convertibles

Only 29 Bright Green Metallic Convertibles

Only 13 Monterey Maroon Metallic cars (only 45 that color total, painted that so it would be ready to go in 2000)

Only 5 Sport Gold Metallic cars built (color had to be carried over for a Days Inn promotion)

2000

230 B4C cars but only 9 Arctic White 6 speeds, only 6 Monterey Maroon Metallics (all autos) and only 4 Bright Red (all autos)

Only 11 Sunset Orange Coupes

Only 2 Sunset Orange Convertibles

Only 1 Sunset Orange SS Coupe and 2 Convertibles (1 auto and 1 6-Speed)

Only 1 Hugger Orange car (it was a convertible) due to the code being available earlier in the year

2001

288 B4C's only 1 Navy Blue and 1 Light Pewter Metallics that were 6-speeds and many single digit rare cars due to color and tranny combos

Nothing too rare... best I can find is only 234 Sunset Orange Convertibles only 37 of which were SS's with a 6-speed

2002

As far as regular production, even less rare... best I can find is 307 Sunset Orange Convertibles

13 Camaro Coupes had two-tone (police) paint

1 Sunset Orange Metallic Automatic B4C and many single digit rare cars due to color and tranny combos

I haven't even TOUCHED interior color combos or convertible top color combos but as you can see there are MANY rare combinations from the factory...

Only thing is, WHO CARES if it's the only Purple WS6 (re: ebay awhile ago), it's still just a purple WS6... Not too many people, which is why the cars MADE TO BE RARE (like the dealer cars) are also made to be VERY COOL but still lack that original rarity of a car that just accidentilly became rare...

You're correct Nine Ball. It was built for Pete Estes, then general manager of the Chevrolet Motor Division. It changed hands for over a million bucks several years ago.

Al Maynard owns the only known 69 Z28 with the experimental Hemi Heads. They're aluminum and were inspired by Smoky Yunick. It runs and drives complete with a origianl 2x4 Crossram intake .

No telling its value.........

Not 100% on these numbers:

98 - 226 all colors
99 - 176 all colors (last year in Canada) I know 16 were White
00 - 232 all colors

I'm likely off by one or two as I'm going by memory here.

One day I'll likely regret the mods I've done to mine.

Yep and I just happen to know someone who has a 99 BLK Coupe 6spd car. Definelty a rare car.

That's what the Camaro White book says... and I doubt it's even talking about this one, but here's another (Tom Henry made of course):

Who claimed to have the only purple WS6? I must have missed that one.

They actually made 12.

Why? Yenkos aren't exactly what you'd call "production" cars... I mean, you could get a Berger or something, and make it in a one-of-a-kind color with unique options... I think we're talking about ones that just got randomly built by GM a particular way.
