    My name is Mike and I live just outside Philadelphia, PA. I just purchased a 98 Bright Purple Metallic T-Top Camaro, bare bones car. Manual locks, windows, transmission, etc. I will hopefully be picking it up this week.

    eBay link of the car. Has tons of pictures. If the listing is taken down here's a quick cell phone snap of the car. I will definitely need to clay/wax and do a proper photoshoot soon.

    I'm no stranger to the L36. My other ride (and baby) is a 2000 Monte Carlo SS. Purchased and ordered brand new in Feb 2000. I'm a moderator over on the MonteCarloForum.com. I have tons of fun stuff done to this car, and I'm going to be doing a freshening up of it, and starting my turbo build now that I have a new fun car to DD with. Currently I have a CAI, HVTB, HV3 UIM Insert, ER Rockers, 180 Thermo, SS Front Powerlog, 2.5" ZZP SS Downpipe, GMPP Cat-Back, Custom Tuned, SLP Grille, Painted bottom trim, Roof Rails, 06 Monte SS Spoiler, LED tails, and a few more goodies.

    That's right, keeping the Camaro as my little daily beater while I power up my FWD car.

    Here's a few shots of the Monte:







    My Monte has over 180,000 miles. It's a little up there in the mileage... but hasn't given me problems.

    Hope to learn a bunch about my F-Body, and glad to be a part of the forum!

        Doing some research on the Color (U88) Bright Purple Metallic.

        Only 481 Camaros were built in 1998 in this color.
        Almost 800 in 1997.

        Those were the only 2 years the color was available.

          That'd be why I haven't seen it... Nothing near that few black ones.

              I was going to say bright purple is pretty rare... I believe, they used it as a base and worked in Navy blue Metallic as the replacement color. Hence why NBM has a tint of purple to it.


              nice car overall.... Some good knowledge here, but if you know your way around the L36, and general RWD gm cars its not that bad.

                  I've never seen a Barney Camaro before. That's the most unique color I've ever seen. Congrats on the buy.

                  Nice Monte too.

                        Thanks for the welcomes everyone :)

                        I will TRY to resist modding, but you can never tell what will happen. A few years ago I never thought I would have modified the Monte.

                        I mean, it already has some kind of aftermarket exhaust, it looks like the stock intake/lid. So I will probably get a lid and maybe the ram air hook up.

                          Manual windows are the best. You won't have to worry about replacing the window motors every two years!

                          Congrats and welcome to the site.
