I really think it all boils down to how secure in yourself you are... I mean, you're obviously insecure about some aspect of your masculinity, otherwise you wouldn't be so hung up on having a manly car in a manly man color like black, or red or some crap so you can go do all your manly things with men and feel like a manly man.
This is gonna be great, with Evyl owning a purple car as well

Welcome.

LOL! I see a hint of old-school DrEvyl coming out in this thread. Those were some fun times, glad to see it again.

BTW, I like the purple.

I did a little research and that purple color was actually a red with a 50/50 mixture of cow urine and cow blood added. Then they mixed in some monkey **** to give it that special gleam. They originaly called it Bovine red but later changed the name to H-Purple.

Try 21 years, bud. That was 1982.

But you also will have to try harder. I wouldn't put **** up on the web if I had any problem with people attempting to clown me, in this case quite pathetically, for it.

But how about that website of yours? What is this, Lesson 12 of "The Internet for Dummies"? Looks like someone puked on a server and put a .htm on the end of it. Yeah, you obviously like the light blue so much you did your whole ****** page in it. Light blue and yellow... OUCH. Well, it's obvious you're one of the color challenged contingent, too.

Come talk to me when you have the ***** to post a picture of your ******* goober self.


*edit* you seemed to misunderstand me
I was saying I'd hate to look at MY picture in 10 years, not making fun of your pic at all.. oh well
I wrote some bad ish but its all gone
I was reading a Ford forum and everyone bashing "McRat"(a user here) and it all seemed childish.. oh well

So when I get it built up, then I can tell you that you just got smoked by a car made of cow **** and monkey ****.

Yes that is correct. And I'll even help you get the flies off of it if you can win. But I know I'll have to watch my back to keep from being *** raped, or capped or whatever else you've threated to do to me.

Wow.... this is an old thread! I'd just bought my Formula when this got posted, now I have the Formula and one of those 12 WS6s, and the purple GTO too.

Without knowing what kind of shape the car is in, mileage, etc.. I can't really give you a fairly accurate guess on what it's worth.

You're probably talking about this car:
https://ls1tech.com/forums/vehicles-sale-lsx-powered-only/456914-1998-convertible-trans-am-bright-purple.html

The price he is asking is a little high, but not unreasonable if the car is in excellent condition.

I haven't really seen detailed pics of the car, but it looks clean from what I saw. Like I said, price is probably a little steep, but a good starting point for negotiating... the color really doesn't increase the value in the current market.

I bought my WS6 in October for $12K... a convertible is in the same price range.

purple cars are the **** for sure, mine is not so bright but the same idea at least. they made 381 like my car including verts mine is prolly around like one of a hundred or so since i keep seeing verts on ebay in my color. i also had the line up on a 98 camaro in that color was a z28 w/80k auto w/tan interior,that woulda been one hell ofa car if i woulda bought it.

I wanted to order my Formula in that color, but by 2000 it was not available.

[QUOTE=DrEvyl;652045]Actually, paint issues are why they only built 26 Formulas this color... I'm pretty sure if they kept this color on the lineup, my car would not be rare at all. This color RULES. Sometimes it looks so dark it's almost black, and other times it is the loudest purple you ever saw... just depending on how the sun hits it. At night it looks even cooler.




LOve the color but poor sales is why they stopped the color not paint issues....goolge it

I just saw a Bright Purple Formula on the road about a week ago...LOVE the color, but the car wasn't taken care of at all

It was still really cool to see one on the road though.
