Bright red 1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA *Wow! 56K and slow computers beware!*

I think my pictures could make good wallpapers for computers, don't you think?
-1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA
-Bright red
-T-Top
-5.0L TPI engine
-4 speeds automatic transmission
-3.27 limited slip differential
-Power everything
-Digital dash
-Radio controls on the steering wheel
-All the options except leather and the 5.7L TPI

Yeah my car was for sale not long ago in the classified of this site. It's still for sale even if I don't wan't to. I sell it only because me and my girlfriend are having an hard time these days...

Are you going to put a GTA emblem on the nose? Did the previous owner remove it and paint over it, or did he replace the bumper with a regular TA nose?
I love 87-90 GTA's!!! Lucky bastard you!

BigWhiteGTP: Yeah I know the emblem is missing. I will buy one off eBay someday.
But I don't know what ever happened to the emblem, the 2 previous owners didn't know either... Hmmm...
It's a true GTA, I have the code Y84.

Is it more, or in the very first pic, drivers side of your wing, is it a bit non-straight? Jsut looks a bit odd...
Apart from that complaint, the car's awesome...
Like white, red looks bad unless done in a certain way to me, and I like yours!

i saw a white TA in a used dealer lot with 140k miles on it. The spoiler felt like rubber! It was chipped so bad that it looked like a checkered flag cause the spoiler was black underneath. How could you make a spoiler out of rubber
