Re: 1988 GTA whoring out .. I mean parting out
The 9 bolt AND the 10 bolt BOTH have 5 on the bottom half. The 10 has 5 (obviously) on top, and the 9 only has 4. No center top bolt. ...and the 9 bolt SHOULD have a tag as well.....AND.....if I'm not mistaken, most of the upper end Pontiacs from 87 and up got the 9 bolt. I could be wrong, but if it IS a 9 bolt, I'd be curious to see what gear ratio it has on that tag.

Re: 1988 GTA whoring out .. I mean parting out
I know the diff ... don't let the nuub rating fool you either ... 9 bolts where RARE in a 88 .. don't think I've even seen a 89 9 bolt, but I've seen pictures 
... and I've had well over 100 3rdgens ... but it's been over 10 years since I owned a f-body and the last couple were 4thgens .. so the minor details escape me .. this tag is on the pass side and thick .. like a I remember a 10 bolt tag being , almost readable from the back of the car, in traffic 
.... .. seems like the 9 bolt tag was thin, on the driver side .. and illegible when it was made .... 
I just picked the car up last night ... was more interested in getting it home rather than details ... now that it's home ... I'll find it all out ... just wish the race car wasn't on the lift ....
curious with cash or just writing a book ??? what ratio does your book/car need to have in it ???

Re: 1988 GTA whoring out .. I mean parting out
LOL, you're the one who said it was probably a 10 bolt! LOL
Pretty sure they were common in 88. My 89 had one, and my current 9 bolt came from a 90 TA. ....I'm lookin' for a 3.45, which is pretty rare of course. I'm kinda always looking because of how rare they are. I don't NEED it per se, but if it is a 3.45, and the posi checks out, we might be able to work something out. Don't go outta your way though. Just shoot me a PM next time you get under there.

Re: 1988 GTA whoring out .. I mean parting out
every GTA i have ever seen is a 9 bolt. only way it would have 3.45s is if someone swapped them. only came in the g92 305 manuals.

Re: 1988 GTA parting out
It might save a considerable amount of time by posting a list of parts with condition and pricing. Shipping is always going to be a variable on the larger items.

Re: 1988 GTA parting out
save time for who ???? if I had that kind of time ... it would be on ebay ... since I don't ... it'll probably end up at the crusher ... since that would save me all kinds of time and hassle of everyone asking how much shipping is .. when it ain't the cost of the shipping that's the issue ... but the time to pull the part and pack it .... CRUSHING is MUCH EASIER ... so .. if y'all want any of this .. you'd better HURRY and get your act together .... if your looking for show quality parts ... KEEP LOOKING !!!!!

Re: 1988 GTA parting out
A good running 90 K mile car that only needs a tranny and some interior work (unless we are being misled) is well worth restoring.
And it's not called Whoring out a car here. We have a lot of female members here as well. We sometimes have to part out a car due to extensive body damage or the old rust problem, in which case we call it parting out and nothing else but a donor car.
These cars do deserve the respect that they were built with and their passing deserves nothing less.
There are a lot of nice parts there that TVP has and it does take time to sell them in an organized manor.

Re: 1988 GTA parting out
I'll give you a yes or a no or a counter offer on the radio if you get off the pott about it. So far you don't have an asking price for anything, just looking for best offers. This board does not work that way. So you pony up and post some prices.
