Anyone saw or heard of this?

One of my buddies is going to sell his ricer and finally get a real car. He found this 1995 Trans Am for 6k obo and its silver with a single red racing stripe and red leather interior. He was wanting to know if it was an original colored car? The guy selling it said it was one of 250 produced? anyone know anything about them? thanks for the help

Re: Anyone saw or heard of this?

I've had a 95 Formula, 97 WS6 T/A and my current car. I have NEVER heard of that one..

In 1994 there was a 25th Anniversary Edition made but it was white with a single blue stripe.

It doesn't sound familiar to me.

The only factory T/A with a single racing stripe (blue) was the 25th ann. T/A.

It's nothing, In 95-96 they did come out with the Comp T/A which is silver and a gray stripe that run from the nosie to the tail. The headrest would of have also a Comp TA logo on it. Then there was the 25th anniversary TA in 94 which only came in white with a blue stripe from the nosie to the tail.

Re: Anyone saw or heard of this?

Thanks guys, i dint think they produced one, but when i first thought of the single stripe, i was thinking of the comp t/a and the anniv. ones. And to birdman, why does red leather sound ricey? im pretty sure red leather was an option in some 4th gens and corvettes...

Well, no.. red leather was not on option as far as I know.. but I do agree with you that red would look nice. As long as it's not full out red interior. But on my door panels, I replaced that carpet crap with red leather and I would love two tone red seats one day

I agree, red leather does sound ricey, sorta like vinyl graphics, they just think they go faster with them on, me I like the tan cloth interior, leather kinda burns in the summer time in Georgia.

Re: Anyone saw or heard of this?

Per the "Firebird Red Book", in 1995, there was a red leather option for the Firebird. 1995 was the only year it was offered. The red interior was Trim Code 70. There was also a "Bright White" leather offered in 1995, only in the convertibles - Trim Code 10.
