1987 Trans Am GTA 5.7 Red Hard Top

Hello - listing this for a friend, here is what I know about it.

1987 Trans Am GTA
5.7L TPI 350CI V8
Automatic 700R4
Red Hard Top

Digital Dash
Power Seats, Windows, Mirrors.

Miles: 98K

Original paint except on spoiler, which is slightly cracking again.

Everything on the car is original as far as I and the owner knows except for: Battery, Tires, Fuel Pump, Muffler and Tips.

He is the 2nd or 3rd owner I beleive. I am working on getting the VIN so someone here can run it through compnine or whatever for RPO codes, etc.


Pictures:















I am not the owner, like I said, selling for a friend but I can find out anything you need to know. Serious Inquiries or Offers PM your # and I can text you any more info/pictures you need.

$6,800 OBO - Located in Aliquippa PA 15001 - About 45 minutes from Pittsburgh. Will ship car if buyer makes or helps with arrangements and pays.

Re: 1987 Trans Am GTA 5.7 Red Hard Top

It's VERY nice which is why it's out of my price range and I am just helping my friend sell it. He's a paint/body guy, I am sure if I asked he would repaint/fix the cracks on the spoiler before sale.. that's the ONLY flaw I seen in the car, I would give it a 9 outta 10.

Re: 1987 Trans Am GTA 5.7 Red Hard Top

He's not desperate to sale, It's been listed locally for 3 years and he's been patiently waiting for the magic offer.. I told him we might have some better luck listing it on here. If an offer comes close enough to what he wants, it will sell, if not, well that's OK too he will keep it and maybe one day I can afford it

Re: 1987 Trans Am GTA 5.7 Red Hard Top

In looking around what recent GTA's sold for or are being listed for, I'd say this is fair asking/negotiating start price with a little wiggle room.

Things to consider:

It's in GREAT condition, interior, exterior, and engine bay. I will gladly get some more pictures up, and a video of it running as well.

It's all original except for small things like battery, muffler, tips, tires, possibly air filter.

Under 100K (barely but still)

2-3 owner GTA, 5.7 TPI V8 that needs literally nothing except a new owner lol

I am still waiting for the VIN so you guys can run it for RPO's and to verify it's real.

Cars this nice don't come up for sale often around where I live.

I disagree, I mean he would most likely take a good offer from a serious buyer but I looked at cars listed on here recently and it's in the ballpark.


There is one GTA listed for 5,500 that has body damage, paint damage, more miles, not all the power options this has, and no digital dash.

Re: 1987 Trans Am GTA 5.7 Red Hard Top

hmm just sold my digital dash 87 last year with roughly the same miles and a 350 digital dash car for $3500- paint wasn't as nice but still a strong runner with just as nice of an interior and body lines. I also could have picked up a 15k mile 87 gta 5 speed in sept for 10k .

Re: 1987 Trans Am GTA 5.7 Red Hard Top

It's all what someone is willing to pay for a car, not necessarily what it is or isn't worth. I paid $4800 for my one owner 88 IROC with a 305 TBI motor auto trans. It was worth it to me, some others, not so much. I am happy with it, so this car will make someone happy I am sure It looks very nice, I love the T/A!

Re: 1987 Trans Am GTA 5.7 Red Hard Top

Well worth the $. It would fetch it down south here quick. These cars in this condition are getting harder to find especially in this condition and IMO one of the nicest looking 3rd gens to ever come off the showroom floor. If I were looking and it wasn't so far away id be on it. GLWS

Thanks - Will help/assist in whatever way possible to arrange shipping with buyer at buyers expense. I will do whatever I can to make it go smooth for an out-of-state buyer if they are serious..

Re: 1987 Trans Am GTA 5.7 Red Hard Top

Speaking as someone who is dealing with a rusty Firebird, here's my opinion. It's worth the extra money to buy a rust-free car. Snap this one up and have fun with it!

That's nice. I need a HUGE garage as it is. GLWS
