Brown GTA???

Was brown an available color on the GTA? Check out this link:

I can't imagine why anyone would paint a GTA brown on purpose!

The Dark Burgandy Metallic is not very common for a reason. It looks like ***!!!!

Nasty color, it is factory though.

yes, factory & pretty rare too....

If I have my facts correct, if this car is correct, it should be 1 of only 372 produced in that color.

I saw that car last week at the dealer. I didn't have a chance to park and look at it as parking was unavailable, but I did see it in person and the I thought it looked good the way the sun hit it. The picture does not do it justice. If anybody is interested in this car and needs it looked at, let me know.

The color is actually quite striking when combined with the gold accents. I've got a better outside photo of a brown '87 GTA from the 2000 T/A Nationals that I can post in anyone's interested....

I've never seen that color before, I actually think it looks pretty good. It would probably look like @ss if it's dirty though (literally)
