Original owner, uncompromised, unrestored, gunmetal grey, 5.7 1988 GTA

April 2015: See 3 NEW 'in the sun' pictures of my car BELOW 1988 Gunmetal Grey ORIGINAL Owner Trans Am GTA
contact Greg onfire2014@yahoo.com or 605-232-6343

For adoption to a good home, original owner 1988 Trans Am GTA medium gray metallic (official for gunmetal), 5.7 engine, analog gauges, all GTA options. I took delivery of this car in January 1988 and have had the pleasure of owning it for the last 27 years. It is in pristine condition, all 100% original, absolutely no rust, dings or scratches and is between Hagerty insurance’s #2 and #1 condition definitions (it is award winning and with a little work very close to concours). Have all paperwork, work invoices and original window MSRP sticker. Only serious offers please. If you can find a better GTA in the world at a better price buy it! Thanks, Greg 605-232-6343 or onfire2014@yahoo.com

Sorry guys I guess you have to wait 15 days after you register on this site to post pictures and I just officially registered. I've been on this site before looking around but just joined up. It'll be a couple of weeks I guess unless you want to call me, email me or join GTA Source page. i appreciate your interest! Greg 605-232-6343

Re: Original owner, uncompromised, unrestored, gunmetal grey, 5.7 1988 GTA

high to mid-teens. Can i send you some pictures? I just posted pictures of the original dealer invoice, MSRP window sticker, Pontiac dealer thank you letter and the in-transit sticker from January 1988 on GTA Source Page website. Along with 10 other pictures of the car's engine, interior and of course some great exterior shots. I'll post on this site when they'll let me! Greg 605-232-6343

83k -see attached picture. Nope, not a trailer queen at 83k, but very well taken care of. You and I both know some trailer queens that don't even run worth a darn. Cars aren't bookshelves and were made to be driven, otherwise the seals go bad, everything is not lubricated properly and everything starts leaking! 100% original except hoses and alternator. Have all the service records and paperwork from the very first oil change!

Re: Original owner, uncompromised, unrestored, gunmetal grey, 5.7 1988 GTA

Here's the original dealer invoice and the original MSRP sticker that I removed from the window myself in 1988! There's not too many original owner GTA's on here that can say that, especially Gunmetal Grey ones.....

Re: Original owner, uncompromised, unrestored, gunmetal grey, 5.7 1988 GTA

How much? per forum rules you must post a price. I dont see one but maybe I am missing it?

I am the fourth owner of my car but the person I bought it from had it since 1990 with 22K on the clock... and no it doesnt leak and no it doesnt run badly. starts quick and runs like a bat-outta-hell and solid as they come.

Nice gun metal. I would power wash that bay and clean it up a bit. wish it had less miles but still looks very solid. Price?

Re: Original owner, uncompromised, unrestored, gunmetal grey, 5.7 1988 GTA

80k miles and $15k... Maybe if it had 20k mi..Nice car but... I bought a very nice car with close to that mileage.Though maybe not quite as nice, well optioned, or as original as this but for 1/3 the price im just saying..GLWS though its a gorgeous car. I think around $8500 is more realistic.

Re: Original owner, uncompromised, unrestored, gunmetal grey, 5.7 1988 GTA

Hi guys, I've talked to a few of you before over at GTA Source Page website. Yes, my starting point is still in the mid-teens but I AM willing to negotiate! Thanks for the nice comments. I took my GTA out of storage within the last few weeks and washed her up, so I thought I'd take some new pictures. The original paint still looks fantastic especially in the sun.
