I'm looking for pics of my dream car. It's a 91 or 92 GTA with a manual transmission and an L98 or better, Full leather interior, and all the GTA goodies.

Are there many members with this car?

 

OK... I'll start. Not sure this is a manual tranny or not but it has an LT1.

 

Hmm, I think you seek the impossible, at least as GTAs came from the factory. No thirdgen ever came with a 350 and manual tranny. A few GTAs came with 350s and T-tops. And none ever came with all three, ie., T-tops, 350 and manual tranny.

So, if you find one you'll know it's a home grown contraption.

 

Found one the other day... wrong year though.

Definitely homegrown.

So then... the GTA 350's didn't have a manual and the manual GTA's didn't have a 350. Is that the size of it?

 

Yup.

And the GTAs were the ONLY thirdgens that had L98s with T-tops. And not many of them either. In 1988 I believe.

 

Thanks SB.

I guess a person's dream car should be something of their own creation.

 

this is wrong.... it was alittle rare, but alot of third gens came with a 350 and t-tops. my iroc was like that before i sold it.

 

as I understood it, 91 was the only year after 87 where t-tops and the 350 werent available together.

Sounds like you want something more custom. Sounds kinda like my dream car. 91-92, only a formula, tees, 350 or better

 

You can get a 91/92 Formy w/ AT, 350 and T-tops.

 

Man,i will never understand the fascination of leaky,squeaky,drafty T-Tops.I had them on an iroc a long time ago and it sucked.But to each his own i guess

 

You will understand the fascination on a sunny summer day

My friend's 87 IROC had t-tops and a 350...however this combo was uncommon (but not impossible to find) in later years. But thirdgens never came with 350/manual, as someone else already said.

I have seen a (modified, obviously) 92 Camaro convertible with an LS1 and T56. Talk about awesome

 

Try a ride in a thrid gen convertible.



On the GTA, were T-Tops an option? I could totally have my dream car without them but wouldn't mind if they were there (especially after owning a vert).

 

T-tops where an option.

 

I have had 2 IROC verts actually and they were very nice.A T-Top car on the other hand just isnt worth the squeaks and rattles.Maybe u guys should try a hardtop.You would be amazed.

 

Guess I was wrong on L98s and T-tops

They are very rare, in any event. And like I said, no L98s with sticks.

 

One of these days some avid F-body person working at GM is going to have A LOT of free time and take the time to enter every VIN and RPO into a database so we can know EXACTLY how many of what where made in what year... until then we really don't know how rare anything is. Pre-91 350 T-tops cars aren't really that hard to find, 91-92 pretty much the only 350 and T-tops where Formys w/ the Crosslace wheels.

 

I know you said you are looking for the gta's with the 350 5sp, but here is mine with a 305 5sp. with black leather inter.

 

I can't seem to find the other pic's of my car when I had it out this year, give me some time and I will see were there are.

 

A guy down the street used to own a jade green 92 GTA 350 w/ ttops. He died and his son has been trying to sell it for 8k for years. It had like 125k on it and there were A LOT of little things wrong. Purple tint, broken buttons/switchs. C&C ttops, torn leather, etc. Nice car but not worth 8k.

 

not to be a smart ***....but if youre just looking for a pic, and not the actual car to buy. Whats the difference which engine/tranny it has? youre not looking at that part of a car. I could post a 305 auto. and you wouldnt know the difference.

 

Beautiful car. I love it lots.

 

Then do it, smarty.

Sheesh. Canadians.

~ducks and runs~

 

Thank's, I found the other pic's but I can't seem to get them to resize yet, something is wrong so till I get that fix it will be awhile.

 

Hi there lawbreaker2!
Long time!
You have a nice thirdgen!
We have a red '91 Firebird with the Sport Appearance Package, with an auto/305 TBI setup.
Still thinking of moving out here?

George

 

Hi george, Yes we are still planning on the move but maybe not just yet, I have been out there 5 time since we last talk, and I think about stopping when I pass kingman, but I never no how to get In touch with you. I posted somewhere over in the history thread to you about the nascar pace car. will be going that way again next week, I now run with a aircard on my laptop when on the road, I just wish I can get these pic to upload allreadly. I have some inter. pic's And my gta has drum read brakes, So I think only like 62 were made with a drum brake. keep in touch,

 

here Oh wow it took it

 

Hey Mods, if you could delete the 2 small pic's so you don't get mad at me for posting more that 3 pic's, I was trying to get the size down pat, ( bigger ), So here is a bigger pic of the inter.

 

Beeeeeautiful car lawbreaker2!!!!!

Makes me cry when I see mine after looking at yours.

 

Thanks, she has about 36,000 miles on her.

 

Purty. You could use some gauge bezels.
