What's your opinion on this color? Hit or miss? Rare production numbers (less than 400 firebirds made in all trims), 1987 only. I know of one for sale that I have always liked, just curious if i'm the only one or not haha...

 

It looks great in the right light. I don't particularly care for the color too much, but the 2nd photo looks good.

 

Great color, though I'm not sure how much I like it with gold trim and wheels.

I've never liked interior/exterior color combos where they are variations of the same color (here we have a metallic brown with tan; some other examples include maroon exterior with the bright red interior). However, this one seems to work better than most of those. I almost see hints of plum in the color, though it could be your photos.

If the car was in great condition and was a hardtop manual, why not?

 

It is That's why I like it so much, it's different and optioned really cool. I may pick it up this spring, we'll see

 

This unique color is very refreshing after viewing the "PICS OF YOUR RED OR BLACK THIRD GENS!!!" thread. I really dig it! Cars like this are where the collectability will be int the future, although that shouldn't be the main reason to pick up a thirdgen.
They are just amazing cars to drive!!! not to mention they got curves for days!!!

 

I personally love this color. I even love them more when they have paddle mirrors also

 

Well it's not red, black or white!

As someone who owns both a purple and yellow car, (my third yellow vehicle BTW, if you don't include my first vehicular purchase of a yellow 1975 Schwinn Continental), I'm all for variety.

And I can't argue with Kurt. If it's mint, a hardtop and a stick - well, you can't go wrong.

 

I am an "outside of the box" kind of person, so YES I like it. As mentioned in another thread, its refreshing to see oddball color cars with uncommon color interiors. Why be normal?

 

I have always leaned towards the off colors that were produced. She looks beautiful and I would change a thing.

 

Well, if you have the cash, you know what to do! And post pictures when you get it.

 

Will do! It's a lot more than I would like to spend on it but I have gone to see it twice over the years and keep thinking about it... It's a neat car!

 

NOT.


It's cool just simply because of the color's scarcity. It's not a good sports car color. When I was a kid, Dad bought a new 1976 Mercury Montego station wagon that was the exact same dark brown. Gross.

 

I say hot!

 

I like it. It's not RED, BLUE, OR BLACK.

KMK454.....I think the gold trim and the wheels work nice with that color.

My opinion only though.

 

With the gold & the tan it looks good - wouldn't have been my first choice when new, but I'd drive the wheels off it now.

 

This would be you Chris!

 

 

Nice rare color,I like it.

 

I am partial to it myself, my brother had one back in 95-96. 350, Hardtop, Cloth Interior. I liked it because it was different.

I know I have a picture of it somewhere with the Black 83 Trans Am I had at the time, but have not seen it for years...

 

its not my favorite color but it isnt bad. I think it looks better than the burgundy they had...(flame red I think they called it)

 

I feel the exact same way !

Course , every once in a while I look at ol Orangebird and wonder .....

Did I wander a bit TOO far off the reservation ?

 

nice rare color I like it!!!!!!!!!!

 

Nice car. Turd color though.. Just needs red or black paintjob

 

Not crazy about brown on f-bodies, but since they are rare (also for 2nd gen TAs!), BUY IT.

 

If you come across an '85 Firebird SE in 50/50 tutone, buy it also for it's rarity!
Like the one in the brochure on this page, 75% of the way down .

Hot! Get it while you can.

 

Man I love that!!!!! ...honestly didn't know that was an option on "newer" thirdgens. Knew there were a few odd colors for 82-84. Anyhow, I think it's awesome. Not saying it's my first choice, but I would certainly keep it if the rest of the car was what I wanted.

 

I like it.
