I have a 1985 Firebird 2.8L with the color code 15L 75U Med. Grey Metallic Lower, Blaze Red Upper. I have seen that it is a factory option for the year but I cannot find pictures or any information about it. Any info would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

That photo cant be of a factory painted car. I have never seen a factory 2 tone that goes that high on the car. Unless someone else can correct me on that.

Never seen that too... I can't imagine this a factory paint job...

It is a factory option under D84 for the Firebird which is two-tone.

See attached picture from the 1985 dealer manual. It's not the same color combo but illustrates the two-tone D84 option on the Firebird.

Wow...never would have guessed that. Thanks for confirming JT. The only 2 tone I can think of are the ones that usually have the lower stripe package.

Im back and forth about that paint combo. I cant tell if I like it or dislike it.

Vanderloski

Yeah, I thought those were the only 2 tone options as well, before seeing this car. I honestly didn't like it at first but it grew on me alot.

Welcome to TGO.
That is a nice looking firebird,I like the color combination.
What is the story on the car and how long have you had it?

Oh I can tell! but I wont Lol. It is a VERY clean lil car though nicely kept looks like. Ive just never seen that paint scheme it must be rare.

Honestly, first glane I really disliked it. Thought it was a weird paintjob and someone went way to high with the two tone. Then I had mixed feelings, but every time I check the comments on this thread and look at it I do like it more and more. Still not in love with it and I do think it would look better in the more common 2 tone, but I do like it much more than I did.

Same here.

Vanderloski

Honestly don't know too much about it. I've had it for a little over a year now and I am the third owner. The original owner had it for over 31 years brand new out of the dealership with 50 miles on it. I have original dealership papers about what the car came with but nothing about paint or anything like that.

punzak9

Whats the rest of the car look like!?

Vanderloski

It's the same all the way around.

punzak9

Sorry, I meant inside and engine. Just looks like a clean car.

Funny, I saw this thread and thought that it's common enough to not really be uncommon, but where would a person even go looking for a production number on something like that. Didn't figure it was worth replying without a concrete answer.

So uh, yeah, reasonably common on 85/86 Firebirds, can't remember seeing too many outside of those years. Kinda flies under the radar since it's not a T/A option.

Vanderloski

Ohhh lol, I have a couple of pics for interior and the engine.
