What is the name of the red leather GM used on these seats? For example black leather would be Ebony, what is this red leather called?

According to GM's Firebird parts manual, it's just "Red". It's listed as; Part Number 16786383, Cover - Seat (Red), Discontinued.

Yeah I saw that, but nothing comes up in GM for the color name.... it's weird it's like those seats weren't supposed to happen lol, there's little to no information on the web about them.

They were an option only in 95 and 96 . The 95-96 brochures just call it red leather . No special name . They could be had in the v6 cars , formulas and trans ams . Hardly anyone ordered the red leather though , so not many nowadays knows the option even existed . The 1st pic I showed is what headrests the v6 and formulas got . (2nd pic) Only the TA's got the larger 2-way adjustable headrest that was on the 93-97's .

Nice....

I'm in the process of a TA seat and door panel swap into my Camaro... Since I can't match the red of the TA, I'm going to do Corvette Red and Ebony. Same as the TA except I'm not doing the whole front in red, just the center leather section.

I have the red leather and bought a repair kit to fix the worn places on the bolsters. GM Torch Red was a perfect match.

Love the red leather, especially white on red cars. I almost paid $900 to have my seats in my white 1998 Z28 convertible redone in red leather. I just couldn't justify the money though since the gray leather stockers were in great shape.

I don't study Firebirds like I do Camaros, but I assume red leather was limited to only certain paint colors just like the flame red cloth seats in Camaros were. If that's true, you could likely only get them in bright red, black, white, and sebring silver Firebirds.

I'm doing my trans am seats and doors totally custom, but based on the red/black anniversary seats. They are going to look awesome.

Firethorn red is the color listed on the window sticker when I bought my Formula vert new in 1995.

Yep, those are the only colors you could get it with . The first WS6 Trans am my local dealer got back in 96 was Silver with red leather . It was really cool looking combo, and quite oddball . Havent seen one like it since .
