What would the standard "looping" decal color combo be for a Cameo White car in 1977?

Dont think there was a standard decal color, there were a couple options I have seen for white cars based on interior color, most popular was the red/charcoal decals with red or black interiors, the other color was blue decals usually with blue interior.

Thank you. I should have mentioned it is a white Deluxe interior with buckskin appointments. I remember it had orange somewhere in the pattern - this is my Dad's old car I just tecently bought back.

Can you post a pic of the car & interior? Sounds like possibly a "tuxedo" color combo of white & buckskin?

Im not sure if 77 cars had this decal option, but I have seen later (79-81?) white cars with the black/gold color decals.

Another option is to locate the build sheet is possible, or order the PHS documents that should show what decals the car came with new.

Here is the only photo of the car I have - taken in July 1977 right after Dad had just bought it new. White 11N deluxe interior with 64X Buckskin dash, console, kick panels, carpet and package tray and tan AK1 seat belts. I just bought the car back after it was in Tennesses for 34 years with various different owners - one of which did a very bad interior color change to black!

I just cant exactly remember the decal colors, and the photo does not show enough detail

This is supposedly the last car that Elvis bought. Maybe it will help?

Below is a photo of the original hood from my 1978 Trans Am. Cameo White with Carmine (dark red) interior. June 1978 build date. It's now gargare art.

i have seen another car with this combo here in tulsa back when new and it had gold decals which this one looks like it especially on the hood scoop. gold would make sense with the tan/buckskin dash etc and gold snowflake wheels. i remember the car here being a very striking pretty car.

This one has the gray snowflakes. Thanks for your input!

It does! The colors on the header panel decal look right to me - which arrangement is this?

Beautiful car. I think white is the best colour for a trans am. Not too long ago I saw a caddy being sold as the last car Elvis bought.

Well definitely no hood bird. Color is kinda washed in that pic but looks like the red/charcoal decals to my eyes on my monitor... with the grey wheels i think that would be the most likely matching decals. But again, finding the build sheet or getting PHS would be the final confirmation.

Thanks. I havent yet dropped the tank yet - keeping my fingers crossed the build sheet might still be there.
I did get the PHS documents. This thing was loaded with options. Can you tell me where it indicates the decal colors?

Top of tank is a good place for build sheet, I have also found them behind the upper back seat and under the front drivers side seat cushion or behind the plastic seat trim on the back of the driver seat.

Guess the PHS doesnt list decals or colors, build sheet might be only hope to confirm it.

Any family members of friends that might remember the car?

* meant to say family or friends.

I just checked the PHS for my 78 T/A, it shows WW7 hood decal but no mention of color, the build sheet from top of tank is only half readable and I didnt see decal color.

Thank you for looking.
