Have you looked on the GTA Source Page? Might have good luck over there.

I think the Gold Bird died in 1981. Never seen a gold third-gen and frankly I don't want to. But, whatever floats your boat.

Dude, that red is dang sexy. I hope you don't regret your paint decision.

Re: I want to see a gold GTA...or Trans Am

I vote for sun set orange metallic. If my bird would have had a different color interior, other that red, that would be the color I would have went with. I think the gold could look just as well.

Re: I want to see a gold GTA...or Trans Am

I had a gold T/A way back when. It was an 85 305 ci 5 speed. Trying to remember the GFX were a copper color i think.

It look pretty good though. I was surfing the net the other day and found one that looked the same but cant remember where i saw it. I look a bit and post it if i find it again.

Here is a pick of the same paint as my old 85. Not sure if this is considered gold or not. Think Pontiac might have called it copper.

Not a Trans Am or GTA, but it's all I could find. It should give you an idea though.



I think with some black crosslaces, a gold GTA would actually look alright.
