In Southern California Riverside Area. Zip 92584. I have a beautiful 1988 Trans AM GTA that just turned 29,000 Original Miles. Everything Is Operational on Car. Dealer Serviced for most it's life. Automatic 5.7L All Original Engine. Digital Dash. Fully Optioned Vehicle. Garaged for Life and Owned By Elderly Couple, Car Was Not Driven For Many Many Years. Purchased and Shipped To California in January 2014 it has been brought back to life.

Vin# 1G2FW2185JL219288 / 81U Bright Red / One Repaint In Past

All Window Stickers / Owners Booklets / Entire Service History all in nice Folder. Very Cool. Full History of car from Day 1.

Basically One Owner Vehicle. I am Second Owner. I have owned 13 months and put less than 1,000 miles on car. Have had fun working on vehicle on weekends, bringing it back to life and taking out cruising on Sundays.

Interior Is 9.5 out of 10. All Original. It has crack on passenger upper door trim plastic (common) and is missing small door trim piece. Thats It. Back seats look like they have never been used. It's a Time Capsule inside. Beautiful and all Original Floormats.

Exterior Is 8 out of 10. Body Straight / No Dings. Biggest problem I see is the repaint was a "B" job. When really looking up close spots have some paint run. It has all new emblems and door mouldings. Looks awesome. Just paint has problem areas that need attention. It's an "A" car with a "B" paint job.

Original Muffler. Unmolested Engine. Power Antenna works (been replaced). Hatchback Motor Works. I have done new plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Fuel Filter / New battery. EGR Valve. Heater Control Valve. Kept all AC Delco when I could. New Hood/Hatch Supports. And more...dont have list in front of me.

Has big orange 1988 Service Manual and a Bra that is new in the box from 1988. Never used.

Call 951-672-0649 ask for Robert. Email is rjsenior@verizon.net. Would like to see car go to 3rd Gen enthusiast who will take good care of it. $13,500 obo is priced right for the market. Not 17K like the rest on ebay.

Car Has not been posted on ebay or craigslist. No hurry to sell. Still cruising on sundays...but looking to move on to some house projects.

I have to wait to post pics per website rules. Have plenty to email if interested.

You should bring your car out to pomona swap meet/car show this weekend (Sunday)and try and sell it there. I would love to see it sounds very nice.

Hi ledman66...that might not be a bad idea. I have never been to this event before. I checked out the website. I am 55 miles away...Is it crazy.. get there the day before to get your spot type of event or can you just show up with your car at 8am sunday morning and people come by and talk with you.

I would not say it is crazy, but it can get crazy lol. ALLOT of people come to that show, rain or shine. You will get allot of exposure, even if you do not sell it that day.
Thing is since your car is not a pre-'85 there is a $100 charge to display it VS the $25 charge if it was a pre 85 car.

There are allot of over seas buyers, buyers looking for cars for their clients in England, the Netherlands, Brazil, etc.
I am not sure how it works exactly as far as when you can come in with your car, if there is a cut-off so to speak, but I don't think there is. As long as you have paid I don't think it matters if you come Saturday, or show up Sunday morning. Bring some water, beer, food, snacks. There are allot of food vendors there, and beer too if you don't want to bring your own stuff.

You will get allot of lookie loos, some who act like they want to buy your car but don't have 2 nickles to rub together lol, and then just some nice folks(like me) who just like to chat with fellow car buffs about their cars.

my pleasure! Yes...I'm not sure I'll be going if it is raining.

Sweet T/A though...if it had t-tops I'd be finding a way to get some money! But i could live without them too.
I already borrowed from my 401k for something else : / short of robbing a bank I'm SOL haha

Beautiful car! Got a couple of questions though. Why would a car with 29K miles that has been parked in the garage its entire life need to be re-painted? Was it in an accident? Also, how long ago was it re-painted? And do you have any under hood pics, or pics of the underside of the car? Does it have the Y84 code on the sticker inside the center console? One more thing, Am I going blind or does that pic with the hood open appear to NOT have the louvers in the front of the hood?
THX.

Edit: Found under hood pic on photobucket site.

Hi. Original owners resprayed as they were having difficulty selling..They were in their late 70's. Spoiler paint issues, rock chips on front clip and key scrathes down drivers side was the issues. I purchased after respray and shipped to CA (Dec 2013).

Y84 Sticker In Console. The hood has its louvers. Shade in picture.

Go to autotrader.com. Search the 88 trans am. You will find the featured listing their with awesome carfax/autoscore and 18+ great pics. All the info you need is there.

Call me if you have questions, 951-672-0649.
