A friend has a '75 Trans Am that the seller (not the original owner) claimed was "all original". It has 42,000 miles, is Sterling Silver with blue graphics, and oxblood vinyl interior. The paint and interior colors are verified by the cowl tag, but I have several questions:
1. Was base/clearcoat paint available in 1975? The paint looks almost "too good" to be original (to me, it looks like base/clear), and I read somewhere that the silver color paint "was notorious for quickly fading".
2. Were blue graphics available if the interior was red?
3. If/when he finds it, does the build sheet identify what color graphics were put on? I've seen a photo of a 1978 build sheet that has a "DECALS" box with some letters in it, but I can't figure out what they are supposed to mean.
