Re: 87 GTA L98 brown production numbers

If it's a true brown/bronze, it was called Dark Russet Metallic and there was only 372 of them in 1987. As far as finding out how those 372 were equipped (350, 305, etc.,) that information is not currently publicly available.

Make sure it has the 68U color code on the RPO tag. Some people confuse this color with the Flame Red (especially in photos).

That would be correct, that color actually looks awesome in the sun.

There was a thread recently on one of the rare Dark Russet GTAs that was for sale on Ebay:
