Re: February 2021 COTM **WINNER**

TABBOO is the original owner of his TA. He bought it in October of 87. The car has 40,000 miles, it is mostly all stock except for Flowmaster cat back exhaust. It is a 305 TPI motor, automatic with WS6 suspension. The car still wears it's original Midnight Blue Metallic paint, a rarely seen color.

Thanks to everyone who voted for my car. Congrats to the other cars too, it could have gone to any 1 of us.
Kfsullivan, I got the hood insulation from
carmotorsports.com. They only show GTA and TTA hood insulation on the site but if you call them you can custom design one.

I had an 86 in that Sapphire Black & Silver paint scheme. Your car is incredible. Congrats on the win. I'm slowly tinkering with the 1990 GTA I found on here last year.

Re: February 2021 COTM **WINNER**

This is a well deserved win, an absolute beautiful car. I’ve saw this car many times at Trans Am Nationals & Tipp City, it’s one of the best 3rd Gens at both, that’s saying something!

Congrats, welcome to being a TGO COTM winner and I look forward to seeing the car at Nationals plus meeting you this year!
