All are, but not all were. It's a package, like CETA (Collectors Edition TA)

2002 is the 35th Anniversary of the Firebird NOT the Trans Am The Trans Am debuted in 1969.
That is why the Special Edition car is Called the Collectors Edition.
It comemorates the 35th Anniversary of the Firebird but was only available on the top level Trans Am WS6.

And No there is no factory 35th Anniversary badging on any car.

Which means NEITHER of these cars really truly qualify as a 35th Anniversary Trans Am, ...

Technically the color was "Collector Yellow" for the 02 cars. But yes it's the same as Sunfire Yellow

For the OP: Here is my Collector Edition Trans Am if you have never saw one

I have never seen a TA or Firebird with 35th anniversary emblems. The CETA said nothing about 35th Aniv on them. I suspect someone made them and put them on there. Get us a picture so we can see what your talking about.

It has a little plaque that says 35th anniversary TA and it has the build number too right under it. My friends asked me why mine dont say it and i told them it was only the yellow ones that came like that and they told that i was wrong.

It was made up by somebody cause they never had anything like that from the Factory.
And BTW tell them the 35th Anniversary of the Trans Am would be 2004, 2 years after the production stopped.

Well your both wrong...the CETA (yellow cars) didnt say anything about "35th Anniversary" anywhere on them. The only "35th Anniversary" badged f-bodies made were Camaros.
