For the first time in Firebird history a second special edition Trans Am was made available alongside the popular Black and Gold Special Edition. This was the Gold Special Edition. Everything black on the Black and Gold Special Edition turned gold on this new SE. Originally the Gold SE was to replace the Black version but the Black and Gold edition disappeared for only a short time. The story goes that the water based gold paint used in the Van Nuys plant was very inconsistent, the bumpers often not matching the rest of the car, so the Gold Edition was short lived. This may just be a story since 8676 Gold SEs were built along with 3643 Black SEs so it seems that the Gold Edition was built for some time. The Esprit Skybird edition continued this year but soon to be replaced by the Redbird. |
