i recently purchased the below poster and it sais that the T/A is a 1998 w/ millenium yellow paint. Anyone know if it was a factory color and have pics of any? I did notice that it doesnt have the side molding on the door and rear fender in front of the tire and there is no raised Trans Am emblem on the door either so that leads to that it might be custom paint.

Although it should have been, it is not a factory color. I think the last time they made factory yellow, and correct me if i'm wrong, was back in the IROC days. But of course that was a Camaro.

There were many years with shades of yellow prior to the 4th generation (93-02), but in the 4th-gens there was only Sunfire Yellow in 1993 and 1994, and Collector Edition Yellow in 2002. (Both of which were not available on Camaros. The last time Camaros had a yellow available was in 1988.) Sport Gold was available in 1998 on both the Firebird line and the Camaro line (and 5 Camaros in 1999).

And according to https://ls1tech.com/forums/pontiac-firebird-1967-2002/187975-how-much-1994-sunfire-yellow-firehawk-worth.html , there were 16 yellow Firehawks made in 1994 out of 500 total Firehawks.

i almost bought a yellow 94 T/a but i didnt have the money. Thats was one of the few cars that looked damn good in yellow.

The Collector Edition yellow is the sunfire yellow also.

Why would they call two different shades of yellow by the same name? The '93-'94 Yellow was much brighter than the softer Collector Edition yellow.

Yea I never really did think that that millenium yellow was a stock color. But the poster is deffinatly nice Good find Phil Even though it is a custom paint job.

Like I said, the collector edition color is Sunfire Yellow (code 54U), go to the dealer (or email GMpartsdirect.com, or better yet go to collectorfbody.com) and ask for some touch up paint, see if you don't get sunfire yellow.

Weezer is correct b4u collector yellow & sunfire yellow are one in the same. We should know we own one.

The picture is custom paint.

You guys are right about Collector Yellow = Sunfire Yellow, but they were promoted under different names so I tend to call them separately


And I've got a news flash! Just learned that in 1992, there were a very small number of Firebirds made in a color called 'Jamaica Yellow', code 52.

Apparently there were 41 or 47 Formulas made in this color (including the very first 1992 F-body built, VIN sequence # 000001, with the 1LE package - out of 1052 total Formulas), 14 GTAs (out of 508 total GTAs), and 23 base Firebirds.

1993 and 1994 had Sunfire Yellow and they brought it back in 2002 for the Collector Edition, although this was already said. My friend had 1 of 69 1993 Firebird Formulas in that color with black ZR1's, but he sold it a few days ago.
