well it could be either one, it could be a 15th if someone put the diff nose and rear and gfx and lights on and hood, it could be a gta but i dont see the badges, or it could be a trans am .

oops, looked at the pics before i saw the 3rd one, i bet its a gta with a 82-84 trans am hood or 87-92 formula hood with the venetian blind hood decal .
Pretty much a mutant. I would guess that it is a base firebird under all that stuff. The front bumper doesn't have the GTA emblem on it and is a diffrent color than the rest of the car so it probably isnt stock, the rear spoiler is off a base model car, the wheels are aftermarket, hood is off a 82-84 trans am, which I don't think this car is. I bet the GFX were added as well.
Edit: looking at the pictures some more, the seats are not GTA seats they don't have the wierd head rests. I bet the car was a 85-89 Trans Am, they added the powerbuldge hood and GTA decals.

Lol mutant, it could be any one's guess. I have seen a few 82-84's that I would have sworn were 85-90s. Amazing how a few parts can totally change the year of your car

It's not a 15th
It doesn't have the recaro seats, the 15th anniversay emblems on the rear quarter panels, the white out lined rear tail lights, among other things. The only thing that is 15th anniversary is the hood.

with 92rs/ss. That is not a GTA. Wouldnt think it was 15th anniv. either unless he went to a lot of trouble to change everything except the hood. It is just like all of those Chevelle people that add the SS badges to their car, orrrrrr lol how the Honda kids add Type-R badges to their car.
