I know the traditional 69 TA color is white with blue stripes.....

But I have a diecast that is Orange with black stripes....was this an option? If so does anyone know the name of the correct colors?

And what other color combos have you seen? Only other one I have seen with actual stripes is a red with white stripes.

I have the same one - it's in my daughter's room. Also have a smaller one that is all green.

No they only came in white with blue stripes.

hmm, wonder what the deal with orange with black stripes is then, maybe it was an article or something? I'm thinking when I build my "clone" <I say it like that because I'm not interested in cloneing, just like the look of the hood and wing> I am thinking about going a solid color, but the stripes really look nice.

Used to see one around Orlando that was black with gold stripes and tail panel. Very cool.

The correct color were as follows:

Base: Cameo White, code 50 (similar to Chevy Dover White)
Stripes: Tyrol Blue, code F (actually a '67 color never offered on '69's)
Interior: Dark Blue, code 200 (most common)

Trans Ams were only offered in these paint colors only except for interior (black, white and dark blue as far as I know). The prototype was silver however. There were no '69 Trans Ams built any other colors by Pontiac except as noted.

With that said, no orange cars with black stripes were offered by Pontiac.

Doug , don't forget the red interior car that I bought off of a Attica State Prison gaurd . He bought the car new and I bought it off him in 1979 . It was only red del. interior car built . They also built 2 gold interior cars and 2 green interior cars . Also there were 4 vinyl top cars 2 black and 2 blue.

Any idea how many black interiors were produced?

As I stated, "Dark Blue, Code 200, is the most common".

It is interesting to note that in a memo to the dealers, dated March 7, 1969, and I quote;

The revised Trans-Am Option is as follows:

1. .....
2. .....
20. Color - Cameo White with Blue Stripes is the only color available
21 Trims - The only Trim Colors available are Parchment-Black-Blue

Officially the only colors that were supposed to be available were Parchment-Black-Blue as stated above.

I can neither confirm nor deny, but there are rumors that there were some oddball builds as stated in the Sept 2003 issue of HPP, page 41:

Weird T/A's
(approximate)
2 T/A's with Green Interior
2 T/A's with Gold Interior
1 T/A with Red Interior
4 T/A's with Blue vinyl tops
1 Ram Air IV T/A with wire wheel covers

I hope this clears up the interior color arguement.

As stated in GM Service Bulletin # 546321 sheet 2, page 35w-2.2 dated 2/24/69 that the correct color for the stripes on 1969 Trans Ams is Tyrol Blue, code. 867-98755 or Fisher wa-3680 code (NOTE: this is not a 1969 color but rather a 1967 color).

I used this information to choose the "correct" color to paint the stripes on my T/A. I compared the color to the original stripes and they appeared to be a perfect match.

I hope this clears up the stripe color arguement.

I try to interject my own opinion as little as possible. As a rule, I try to report what is written. Again I can neither confirm nor deny the accuracy of the written "facts". I just like to share the "facts" as I read them. But it almost always ends up in controversy.

there must have been a revision to those revisions .

No problem Steve, no harm no foul. I was totally confused by your response, but now it makes sense!

Matt, where did the red interior TA go? Do you know where it still is? Did it get restored?

That has got to be a real pretty car!
