Re: '88 GTA L98
Car looks smooth, however the fact you stated an issue with the frame could scare folks away. Anything with the frame is a taboo, and very expensive. Just a thought as to why folks haven't posted

Re: '88 GTA L98
I DO THINK THE FRAME IS JACKED, DUE TO NOT HAVING GTA BADGES IT COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND NEVER REPORTED.

Re: '88 GTA L98
That is a DAMN good looking car. I Really want mine to have that stance, but I really don't know if I could do it with the killer speed bumps here in Vegas. I think im just going to do it anyways after seeing those pictures. If I had the cash I would defiantly be looking at it, but I don't so good luck on the sale.

Re: '88 GTA L98
The passenger side sits a little higher than the driver side. The car used to be gray (GTA's came in that color too), previous owner repainted it. The center console is missing the RPO codes, but I'm sure it's a GTA.

Re: '88 GTA L98
And how is that a frame issue? Does this thing track straight? What about alignment, does it align okay? any obvious signs of a mangled unibody? You state you have new springs and all on the car, are you sure the springs are all clocked the same and sitting in the pockets properly? Are they new springs? Old saggy springs can upset the ride heights

Re: '88 GTA L98
I haven't got under the car to inspect the frame. After the new springs and shocks went on the car, I got it aligned. Still, the car slightly pulls to one side. The alignment guy said the frame wasn't perfectly straight.
