wow, I've never heard of a factory orange interior Firebird. Do you have any pics by chance? I've also never heard of 2 tone Firebird seats outside Recaros and GTA's...

Brief instructions can be found here. It is worth taking the time to learn, given we run one of the most common forum software online.

If not, email the pictures to me at jt@thirdgen.org and I'll assist.

I'm guessing you didn't pass the color blindness tests when you were a kid, huh?

lol

I have to agree, I really wouldn't say thats orange, I was expecting something like orange-juice orange. I think that might be brown (faded brown?)

Re: 1985 firebird with factory Orange interior 1985

Not sure on Firebirds, but they only offered copper for Camaros in 1985 @ 11k vehicles. It might also be listed as russet. That's really odd seeing the dash and map pocket that color though.

Couldn't find numbers, but this may help some:

Re: 1985 firebird with factory Orange interior 1985

its not a faded brown, ok a burnt orange, pic's don't do it justice. if you could see it in person you would understand

Re: 1985 firebird with factory Orange interior 1985

BTW, the numbers should be in what's called the Firebird White Book. I don't have one handy. You may be able to find the same info online if you search a bit.

This may also interest you if you haven't seen it. >>>Link

Re: 1985 firebird with factory Orange interior 1985

I'll have to keep an eye out for orange interiors at the junkyard. And I thought red was uncommon!

Re: 1985 firebird with factory Orange interior 1985

No problem, I haven't seen many out there with the same color scheme so it's interesting to see someone else's. Let me know if you put it up on Ebay, I'd like to watch the sale.

Re: 1985 firebird with factory Orange interior 1985

I have an orange interior-ed 85 like this man says, the under carpet metal is orange too, but someone painted the outside blue and silver, dash isn't as cool though. Whole car is sad, but I've never seen one orange. He is right, pictures don't do justice, myself and the 6 people that have seen it in person agree, it's orange, even the original non faded floor pans.

Re: 1985 firebird with factory Orange interior 1985

The seats and door panels just look like sun faded red silver combo that my TA was originally, but I've never seen orange paint and red or orange dash panels.
Was there a Sunkist edition Firebird? Or maybe some marketing promo?
