I like that color combo. 5 speed too. Will be interesting to see what that goes for.

It's not me! GM named the color.

Russet, a color of autumn, is often associated with sorrow or grave seriousness.
Just always struck me as a funny name for a funny color.

A red paint job, a wrap around spoiler, and some black crosslace wheels and it would be nice. Lol

Even in Potato Brown, it does not look bad... I like the gold accents...

Re: 8,500 MILE 1985 TRANS AM
I really like this car. Different than the average red or black car. One thing I hate seeing consistently is how people seemed to only save the most basic barely even good enough to be called a "Trans Am" or "IROC" cars. LG4, no options what so ever. Its just sad that someone poured their time into saving and preserving basically a base V8 firebird.

Re: 8,500 MILE 1985 TRANS AM
Because the base cars were boring to drive I guess a lot of them didn't get driven as much. The 350, 5.0TPi +HO 5spd cars were such a blast to drive most got heavily abused.

Re: 8,500 MILE 1985 TRANS AM
Even with fresh paint, it'd still be a Non-WS6 Trans Am with an L-Wheeze-4. Just a little too early in the game to really get me excited. It'd be a lot cooler if it were a 89 or 90 GTA. Or an 87-90 LB9 5spd. At least being a LG4 it'd be easy to slip in a carbed 350, but it'd still be brown. If it were at least an 86 T/A it'd have backlit gauges. Hard to fall in love with this spinster, she's already well on her way to being a crazy cat lady.
No, parked safely in someone else's garage is the perfect place for this one. I don't crave it, and don't feel obligated to save it.
