Were Trans Ams only black in 86?
I may be buying a well what looks like a trans am.
I.got the vin but the car is purple haze color but what I read they are only black that year.
U would assume if the door said it has 16" rims it would be a ta?

Re: were trand ams only blqck in 86?
Well its a purple color, and the tech articles said only black for the ta.
Well the car is only $300 and has the vented fenders. If its not actually a ta the parts will go for more.
Too bad compnine is down because I wanted to pull the rpo cores off this vin

Re: were trand ams only blqck in 86?
The tech article was speaking of the wrap-around spoiler being in black, not the entire car:
Purple was not an available body color.
As far as Compnine, older ThirdGens weren't in their database unless it was a Canadian export. So unless this car was a Canadian export, that source wouldn't have helped.
New optional rubber/vinyl wrap-around rear spoiler introduced on 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, available only in black

If the original plate is still there on top of the radiator support (under the plastic) it shows the original paint code.

Yes, you are correct, they stopped in 85 because that was the last year of single stage paint. I have 85 TA on the brain!
