Hi all, This is basically my first post so I hope it's OK.

I bought an '85 T/A last summer that I'm in the process of doing a home resto on.

The car is a solid dark blue. Non-metallic paint. It's all one color [one repaint] and I see no evidence of the skirts being silver even though it has the code for it. It also seems to list it as dark blue for both top and bottom on the sheet from the console.

Is this an uncommon thing? The car is pretty common aside from the color combo. This is the first T/A I've seen in this color in person and I've only seen a couple on the internet

 

It should have silver ground effects/aero. You have WW2 which indicates that.

 

Welcome to the forum....nice car.

 

 

Thanks guys.

I'm wondering, is this a rare color?

Like I said above, I haven't seen many, mostly red,white and burgundy with the odd silver and black thrown in.

I didn't even know they came in this color until I bought this car.

I used to own an '82 S/E in a dark metallic blue 15-20 years ago though.

 

I saw one at a dealership in Appleton, WI, when I was shopping for one.
Unless ths is that car, there may be two like this, at least. Always liked that color on second gens, too.

 

Being how it's a Canadian car and records are available for the Canada market, Compnine shows approximately 337 other 1985 T/As with the 26U Dark Blue with Silver Aero of the 3598 1985 T/As Z49 (Canada) vehicles in their database.

 

Thanks JT. That's basically what I was wondering .

Now if I knew why the speedo is primarily in MPH instead of KPH like my '82 S/E was ?? LOL I can't think of any good reason it would have been replaced.

I had thought it was an American car that someone brought into Canada [pretty common in my area]but the code shows its always been Canadian.

 

my car was originally that dark blue with the silver ground effects. the years weren't too good to it so now she sits in primer and will be sprayed black in the spring.

 

I had one earlier this year, Bob has it now. This is how it would have looked new.

 

Wow, hope mine looks that good when it's done.

 

That looks like it just rolled off the factory floor, nice car

 

Thank You!!!!!!!!!

 

It does have that look - the decals were perfect & the interior was as well!

 

Wow, that's exactly what my interior looked like 29 years ago lol.

 

That's the TA I nominated for COTM

 

It sure is Franny. Thanks! It seems that I need to work on my cars more.
