Wow, very nice. Were the pinstripes factory on some GTAs?

Also shouldn't the GTA enblem on front fender be above the molding?

Looks like a good buy, just some TLC.

I would check the date code on those tires, I'll bet they are from the early 1990's. You'll want to get 4 new skins before you do anything else if you plan on driving it, not only for ride quailty, but for saftey issues.

i like it but the nose has to be replaced and if you do replace it since it sags and looks bad dont put the plate on the front and if you do put the plate on theirs a braket you can get to put the plate low on the nose and the bolts go in from the bottom so you wont have visible holes in the nose if you take the plate off.

Nice Bird!
Why does it seem that everyone buys a red one?
I want a red car, all I seem to get deals on are white cars!!

Nice find,

George

Very nice! But if it were my car I would move that emblem back up above the molding, but little crap like that bothers me for some reason. I just picked up an 89 GTA too about a month ago, the same thing but white
