I don't believe there is any official number for that. The earlier ThirdGens (especially Pontiac's side) don't have as much records available as the later ThirdGens to answer those types of questions. Instead there has been some "estimated" numbers based on the Camaro side with a certain applied percentage. Unless the car was a Canadian export, in which case there are some records available.

That color is probably on the lower side of production numbers in comparison to other colors. However, that does not necessarily mean more value as the car's condition and performance options are usually more important in value. That all said, that color is one that I thought looked well on the Trans Am and helped give the early ThirdGens more character.

88 TA

According to the all 1982-1992 Pontiac firebird colors codes &quantities book . There were probably less than 1700. They based that on Camaro numbers

The best I could do is estimate that there were about 1647 Chestnut (Gold) 1985 Firebirds... It is a rough guess based on limited information Canadian Sales.

I thought I had an odd color for my 85 Bird It was called Russet with a two tone russet and grey interior, Any body know an approximate production number? Just curious. I sold it in 1992 when I bought my 91 TA that I still have and drive.

Like John said above, there is no complete data for the 1985 model year. That includes not knowing the production figures for colors.

The only known figures are Canadian figures and the counterpart (Camaro). However, I don't think that's useful given the Canadian market is so small and the Camaro was different.
