Default Rare color question

I have a 98 C2S built on the last day of US production in Mirage Metallic. I know it was a rare color and was wondering if anyone knew of another or is mine perhaps the only one?

That's gold, right. I posted a thread on one I saw for sale several years ago - think it was a 98 C2S too - maybe the same one.

Here is the thread, but the link no longer works: https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/190215-mirage-metallic.html

The pictures of the car were taken with a really good camera so the file size exceeds the forum limit. I did buy the car from Michael Willhoit who may have gotten it from Ray Josephs at Premiere. I bought it because I loved the color even though it had a Tip, which by the way I've gotten used to and really like now. Thanks, Will still try to post some pics.

My cell phone camera exceeds the size limits here
Really looking forward to seeing the pics.

You can resize them with a simple utility or host them on a free image hosting site and insert image link here in RL...

I am confused, isn't Ray Joseph from RPM and Willhoit has his office at Premier?

I understand they all do that, he had just mentioned Ray being at Premier which caused my confusion.

Not to hijack, but how does one determine the exact build date of the car? The black sticker in the door frame pins down the month and year, but that's it.

I know there was a C4S in this color but can't remember what year. Please post pics and let us in on what your option code sticker says.
