1987 White GTA L98/T56 $2200 obo !!!SOLD!!!
1987 GTA L98/T56 2nd owner, white w/ charcoal interior $2200 obo
Well, I’ve lost some garage space, so GTA's gotta go.
Drivetrain
L98 freshened up (rering/gaskets) in 2000, stock bore / pistons, about 60K on rebuild. Miles on car now: ~250K (225k on odometer; it wasn't plugged in for a while)
LPE 74216 camshaft (.464/.473 lift, 213/219 @ 112 SA)
Edelbrock headers / Flowmaster exhaust w/ resonator @ catalytic location
Changed from MAF TO SD; running Super AUJP V4 prom with slight tuning changes
T56 from ’95 Z28
Easy > 20mpg highway
3.27 9 bolt, posi works good
4 wheel disc, works surprisingly good (modified proportioning valve; rear calipers have latest TSB hardware). Parking brake works perfect.
GOOD:
Custom DRAC so speedometer / ECM works with stock t56 VSS. All gauges work and read accurate.
Stock LT1 clutch has plenty of life left
Posi works good
Engine doesn’t smoke, starts up every time no issues.
Working A/C (using ES12), will throw in spare cans if desired.
TDS Hinge repair on drivers side
After breaking 2 pulldown motors, bolted unit together. No pulldown motor, but hatch now opens and closes every time.
Power windows, power locks work, headlight motors work fine.
16x8 gold GTA wheels in good shape with lug covers and new center caps. Front tires are about 40% worn; rear tires are about 60% worn.
Power “features” (lumbar etc) on driver’s seat works.
Frame / body is solid (only rust is under the battery)
KYB adjustable struts
BAD:
Clearcoat has come off paint; needs respray
Window tinting flaking off rear window
Dent in drivers side fender
Drivers side seat ripped; rest of interior in good shape
Wraparound spoiler rusted @ some of the mounting holes; removed (still have it if desired; it’s slightly warped but not cracked)
Small leak from rear main seal
Exhaust leaks @ header. Should have used real exhaust header gaskets.
Bad knock sensor (disabled in computer)
Working tape deck
Willing to drive it a few hundred miles if arrangement is right since the car's reliable and gets great gas mileage.

Interior. Note the '730 computer on the floor. I can either leave it open with a ZIF socket or I can burn a chip and mount it back up.

Well, if distance is a problem, I am traveling to Memphis in 2-4 weeks....I could drive instead. It's a nice drive; done it many times.
