The color's name is "Blue-Green Chamelion". Not a very common color. This is all I have on 2000 production numbers (no color breakdown):

2000
Firebird 13529
Firebird Convertible 1149
Formula 1302
Formula WS6 233
Trans Am 6639
Trans Am Convertible 783
Trans Am WS6 7166
Trans Am Convertible WS6 1025
Total 31826

how do you tell what number you car is ? 1 - 6639 ? mine is a 2000 nut is was made in dec/99 so u think it would be in the lower 1000 ? so my color is rare ?

Well, without a detail breakdown there is no way to tell exactly. Additionally, non-WS6 cars weren't documented w/ a build#. But in '98 only 3.4% of the 9773 non-WS6 T/A coupes built were BGC (336), so if you rely on statistics and assume the same ratio of BGC cars were built in '00, then 3.4% of 6639 = ~228 estimated BGC T/A coupes built in '00.

Probably explains why you don't see very many BGC T/As, I've only seen one other, a girl at work bought a '99 BGC T/A after she wet her panties riding in mine.

I have a 99 T/A the same color, I have seen one other on like mine, but it was a firebird,

That is true. In 1998 and 1998 only was Bright Green Metillac made along with Sport Gold Metallic and Purple.

when I bought mine the color was ok but it has grown on me I do still like black with chrome wheels (even though everyone has a black one) that sucks you killed yours what happened? mine still looks the same but is not running for now

at least I can still take the 01 ss vert for a ride when I have the need to burn rubber

I thought "Mystic Teal" was the name Ford used for a similar color (green/purple) on the Cobras. Regardless, in '98 Pontiac called it "Blue Green Chamelion". They also offered a "Bright Green".

**PontiacFan** · 08-30-2007, 06:01 PM

So much mis-information, ..., *shakes head*
No, Pontiac did NOT call the LS1 based Firebirds 'Mystic Teal'.
It was called Blue-Green Chameleon as mentioned before.
There was also a Bright Green, but this car mentioned in the first post appears to be BGC.
The BGC was not a '98 only color. The Bright Green may have been tho.
But the way the thread starter explains it, I would 'guess' it's BGC. But I wouldn't come right out & state it as fact without seeing more photos.

Edit: Wow, Johnny, you musta been thinkin' the same thing, ..., at the same time. I was just slower on the tree, ...

**0utLawTransAm** · 09-01-2007, 09:56 AM

here is some more pic of the car i dont have any right now when it looks blue just the different shades of green it goes threw and this is deffently not TEAL at all i have seen the teal trans am and they look much deferent than mine as you can see from bottom pic i had motor out i thought i had spun a bearing turned out that my flex plate bolts started backing out so i fixed it and was drive and it happened agian but this time the trany flex plate and starter went with it

**0utLawTransAm** · 09-01-2007, 10:13 AM

**joejenkinsglass** · 09-02-2007, 07:07 PM

I bet pullin the engine from the top really sucked

**0utLawTransAm** · 09-02-2007, 10:48 PM

it wasn't to bad putting it back in was the hard part i pulled it i a day by my self know it looks like i might have to pull it again i just f**k something up really bad im hoping it just my trany that wont be to hard to replace im thinking of getting a 6 speed to swap it out but if i spun a bearing or broke a rod im going to get a 6.0 iron short block to put back in it and maybe some 243 heads on top
