I would like to know the production #'s for the 99' year  for turbo
models painted in a color called Sundance Plumb Pearl. Furthermore,
cars that were equipped with 5 speed transmissions, black interior and
black convert. top. This color was only used for a short time and then
discontinued.
Hope you can help.

Hello;

   You asked for the production numbers for the 1999 Mitsubishi
Eclipse Turbo Spyder painted sundance plum pearl, convertible, with
black interior and equipped with five speed transmission.

   According to Krystal Peasley, Operations Communications Specialist
for Mitsubishi Motor Manufacturing of America, Inc., "only six
vehicles were produced for 1999 model year Turbo Spyder Convertible
with plum pearl exterior and black leather interior" produced in the
Mitsubishi plant in Normal, Illinois.

   Rare!!

Just an added note.  According to Mark Bilek of Consumer Guide, this
particular model should be a collector's item in about 30 years!

Good luck!!

Well, at least two...

There's a lot more pictures at

http://www.wikked.com/spyder/

The fact that the picture's filename contains the word "rare", that an
Eclipse message board with over 500,000 posts had only THREE threads
that even MENTIONED "sundance plum", that none were made for dealer
lots, but had to be specially ordered, and the fact that it's PURPLE
leads me to believe that there are very, very, VERY few of these cars
in existence. Much less in the specific configuration you want.

Kind of like Oxford Green BMW M3s...

Nice color, though. (The plum, not the oxford green.)
