*"From the book on Production Figures... Chevrolet Passenger Option Shipments dated August 31, 1993, only the Metro, Cavalier, Corsica, Beretta, and Corvette are listed under - 80U MED QUASAR BLUE METALLIC. It says the same thing in the Dealer Order Guide. The 1993 Chevrolet Camaro Press Kit mentions a seventh color—medium quasar blue metallic?—will be offered mid-year. Maybe on a real late '93 Camaro order they were able to order that color since it was available on the 1994 Camaro...?" – John Kyros, GM Media Archive.

It's possible that 0 medium quasar blue metallic '93 Camaros were produced. It's listed as a late production color in some resources (including the '93 brochure). Perhaps it was so late, that the cars painted this color ended up being '94 model year cars. The '93 Camaro brochure features a car that claims to be this color on several pages, but it simply does not show up in production records. The same car appears in stock photography for 1993 Camaros. Perhaps this V6 Camaro was a pre-production model, never accounted for, and thus the only one produced in this color in 1993? It's possible we'll never know.
