Re: WTB-1987-1989 TransAm GTA(burgandy, maroon)
i might possibly be selling my 1987 trans am roller that is set up for a ls1. It is an absolute beautiful car and can come with th400 trans and 9" as well as the wheels or can come without all. Here are a couple pics...

Right now car sits with tci built th400 with trans brake reverse manual and 5500 stall.
Moser 9" with 4.11's and 35 spline axles,
chromoly lca's and panhard bar.
S+W subframes connectors and mounted torque arm
Drive shaft loop
Chromoly forged 4130 d.s. for th400 and 9"
s+w 10 point cage not installed
quarter stick shifter
New kirkey drag seats mounted. 18" driver 17" pass.
Prostars with 28x11.50 et streets and also have new 275/60/15 et radials as well.
255 walbro intank pump
linelock
probably much more
I will sell it with or without all the extra parts listed.

very nice looking car, where is the ls1 that was in the car? how much are you asking for it? But, I have to tell you that I am really looking for a car that is near stock but I will consider all options. What color and material is the interior?

Re: WTB-1987-1989 TransAm GTA(burgandy, maroon)
Yea that one is very nice, Ive seen it on autotrader.com. But its a hard top and a little to far away, Ive never seen a gta with that spoiler thing on the rear window though, its something different I guess.

Nice looking car, Im really looking for a GTA but I have considered a formula in the same color, but I think you are too far away, you are in Virginia right? How much are you looking to get for it?

That is a very nice looking car, if it only had t-tops, very reasonable price too.

Im sure youve seen this one...Everything you want except the analog gauges. Pricey but not unreasonable--it looks like this car could be collector quality. Location is good for you too. If it were me I would go take a serious look.

Re: WTB-1987-1989 TransAm GTA(burgandy, maroon)
Here's another one which isnt really advertised (yet). No T-Tops but for this price you could have someone install them...$2600. Shipping the car from WA to WI would cost about $700. Adding T-Tops $1500. So basically for under $5k.

Re: WTB-1987-1989 TransAm GTA(burgandy, maroon)
Yeah, I geuss you could say I'm picky. I just wont settle for anything less then exactly what my old GTA was as far as color combo and options, I dont mind doing some work to make it in the condition I want but it must have the factory options and colors.

Re: WTB-1987-1989 TransAm GTA(burgandy, maroon)
If I may make a suggestion or two regarding your auto searches for "exact" matches. GTA`s arent the easiest car to come by, hence matching prolly anything but a high production 5.0 TBI car will take along time. Interior and exterior colors can be changed very inexpensively when compared to buying a $10,000 used car. Think $500 paint job, and a Year-One catalog for a nice change-of-color project.
I do feel your pain, my first was a near perfect white 89 Formula t-top with the cool red and black low striping. They can be found occasionally but are around $7k dollars in decent shape under 100k miles.

Re: WTB-1987-1989 TransAm GTA(burgandy, maroon)
I know it's not exactly what you're looking for but it's 100% original
1986 PONTIAC TRANS-AM
59k original miles, currently PA Classic Title, all original, no aftermarket add-ons, original exhaust (needs replacement), 305 CI with tune port injection, 4 speed automatic, 4 wheel disk brakes, fully loaded, T- tops with storage cover, fairly new tires, garage kept w/cover, current PA inspection, never used as daily driver, white with grey interior, woman owned. This car was and still only used on nice weather days, car shows and cruise nights. Asking $7,500 OBO.
Guys
This car is a friend of mine and she likes to see it go to a good home also she wants use of her garage back. The owner is a 50 year old woman.

Re: WTB-1987-1989 TransAm GTA(burgandy, maroon)
prickly- I thought about rebuilding a 305 car into what I want but that would end up being more work and more time to find the parts and to change the color the right way would be quite a bit more then 500 to paint the interiors metal/body and engine bay, plus I would rather have a car that has the original options and colors, I am still tossing around that option though. Thanks
71gs3504sp- Thanks but 7500 is more then I would want to spend on a car that isnt exactly what Im lookin for, good look with your friends sale though, it sounds like a nice car.
