Black & Silver TA's

Anybody ever see any black Trans Am's with silver gfx? I'm mostly referring to the 85-90 style. I saw one years ago, but I have never seen another one.

Theres plenty of blue/silver, red/silver, black/gold, etc., but no black/silver.

I can say that for the 86 models it wasn't offered,you could have got Black w/ Black or Champagne Gold Aero Mldg.I would imagine that they kept it that way!!!not sure.

I'm thinking the one I saw many many years ago was an '87, but I'm not sure. Maybe it was solid black, but someone painted the gfx silver. It's a good looking combo nonetheless.

Re: Black & Silver TA's

None of my literature shows black primary with silver as a secondary option on the Trans Am. As mantaguy points out, the only secondary color that I can find that was offered on the black Trans Ams was a gold (depending on the year). As I don't have all the literature at this moment, and because things changed despite literature, this may not be completely accurate statement.

That is weird the way they offered black/silver on the Firebird (and Formula) but not on the Trans Am. The one I saw must have been painted by the owner.

Re: Black & Silver TA's

I agree that black and silver looks good together, but I have never seen one, not stock at least.
