Re: OK, This has to be a rare GTA
My Z28 is silver, and I dont mind it with the stripes that make it pop. The same color with the gray stripes bores me, though....
My brother had a brown 82 Camaro back in 86. I didn't hate it, but any other color would have probably been better....
I would, however, take the brown GTA over a teal Camaro, any day.

Not a fan of that brown, much prefer the coffee brown from the TA that started this thread. Your brother makes a good '80s poster guy.

What would make that car more rare is if it had the paddle mirrors. Is it interesting? Yeah, sure, Do I want to buy it? No. What would make me want to buy it? If it was a cool color like Yellow.

Re: OK, This has to be a rare GTA
I follow a guy on Instagram who has a brown GTA and though his is a bit of a basket case, I actually kinda like the colour. Mind you I have a green GTA and everyone seems to dislike the colour, but hey to each their own I guess.

Re: OK, This has to be a rare GTA
Everyone is wired a little different. I like the coffee brown. I had a white Formula and think the one up for COTM is really nice; I think white is one of the best 3rd gen colors.
And, I had a green/tan '98 Trans Am convertible. I think a polo green or British racing green is a color that always should be offered on Camaros, Firebirds, and Corvettes.

If I could pick any color that was offered, it would be the green/beechwood.
Greens overall are not popular. I don't get that.
My '98 Trans Am was called "bright green metallic." It was nice, with tan leather. But it actually was a brighter shade of green than I would have preferred. When I traded that car, it sat on the dealer lot for months. They said that the color made it difficult to sell.

Re: OK, This has to be a rare GTA
If it's a rich brown, yeah. If it's UPS brown, no. I can't imagine any 80's paint looking rich after the third year or so.
Apolo Ohno had a Cadillac done in brown with a white leather interior - gorgeous.

Re: OK, This has to be a rare GTA
Browns are kind of funny to me... I can look at a weathered Red, black, silver or Yellow and still appreciate what it is, A new car or a fresh paint in Brown looks good, but as soon as it gets some weather it really does not nearly have the appeal as most other colors.
