I cleaned up the GTA today and took it out for some pictures. I think she still looks pretty good for being nearly 20 years old

Veeerrrrrryyy nice clean GTA

I always thought that color looked more a rusty/burgandy then anything.

350 and T-tops for the win, did it come stock like that?

Thanks guys!
Yep, 74U Flame Red Metallic

It really depends on the lighting. In direct sunlight like that, it has that kind of orangy rust color to it. If it's overcast, or at night, it has an almost purplish tint to it. It's a really cool color.

It came with the L98 and T-tops from the factory too.

I took some pics of the interior and engine bay today too: I need some new floor mats, and the engine could probably use a bit of detailing, but here they are anyway:

Spitzfiya

Ah man engine bay looks good, gota detail mine soon too

What did you use to detail it at first? With all the grease and **** in there...

Simple Green, some different sized brushes, a hose, and a good part of an afternoon. It's an easy job, just very tedious. But now I REALLY need to give my engine a good cleaning because my radiator sprung a leak last night and spewed coolant everywhere. Damn plastic end tanks

Shift06

Looks very nice, I love your clean cross lace GTA wheels :P Mine are plagued with brake dust, damaged clear coat and unshininess :P

Cadillac

That car is in excellent condition.

9 of 10!

I want your interior. The engine would be nice too.

Camas_Camaros

that is exactly how i want my t/a to look when im done, its already the same color, just need some gta's (which im working on), and to get rid of the horrible red interior(cant stand it!)

Bird666

Very nice man! Love the color and it looks very clean and original!

that car is spotless

chevyguy1969

Beautiful car inside and out, great job on it. I assume it is not your daily driver. If it is, you get extra kudos from me.

mike_c

Actually, it's been my daily driver for nearly two years now. Hopefully I'll make enough money this summer to be able to buy a beater car by winter.

305redbird

nice ride man
i really like that color

yrs is in better shape then mine is


how much miles is on it

mike_c

Just turned 73,000 a few days ago.

CharcoalBird

You've got over 100,000miles less than mine. I hope to have as clean of a car as you do when i'm done building mine.
