Default Maroon Trans Am? Pretty Rare?
I was looking through the ebay listings today and found this maroon "Formula Trans Am". How common are these things? Can't say I've ever seen a maroon firebird before except for V6s.

I like that color. I'm not sure how rare of a color, but my 94 Z28 was the same color. I had lots of compliments, go for it, Fred

The color is called "Monterrey Maroon Metallic" and they are very rare. Personally, I don't like the color on a sports car, but it is a nice color in person. Anyone from Texas A&M University would absolutely love that car.

I like the color. It's another "dark" color besides NBM and black.

That color looks ok on a TA but I don't think it looks good on a camaro.

I think Pontiac only had that color for that year only I think. The color doesn't look too bad. I can do without the pin stripe though.

It's funny you say that because there are so many maroon cars around here its ridiculous. Too bad my favorite color is SOM.
