[TX] 87-90 GTA or Formula
87-90 GTA or Formula
My son just sold his 94 Firehawk and is looking to get back in a thirdgen. He had an 87 formula with an LT1 and also 91 GTA with lots of goodies. He's looking to get into another one. He is looking for something that runs and drives well. Does not have to have a 350 but must be either a GTA or a Formula. Bone stock is perfectly fine as he's looking for a stock platform to build on. He's looking for an 87-90 but will consider 91-92's. He'll even consider buying a roller if the body is in good shape. Deal needs to be within reasonable driving distance. We're located in the DFW area in Texas. Thanks.

I HAVE A 87 T/A GTA, ONE OWNER 34K MILES, 5.7 TPI, no body damage ever!!!! 95% originol paint, mint cond, (no t-tops, as they were not available with the 5.7 in 1987, neither was the 5-speed) I'm in s.c.
Re: 87-90 GTA or Formula
I have something that might interest him, it's a 1990 formula firebird t-top, I have been working on making her a drag car, so she has many performance parts. I have included a detailed list below. I am asking 15,000 obo, and will trade for a small car that is good on gas and/or a kawasaki ninja 500
First off, she was given the name K.I.T.T for a reason; she does have a mind of her own and likes to show off (this is not a joke)
In GOOD condition, but will NOT pass emissions without a new intake manifold (The reason is because does not have an egr valve, and the manifold will not support one)
NEW:
- High flow radiator
- Water pump
- Rear diff. gasket
- headers (manifold gaskets)
- Performance tires (street legal drag/ they are wide and like to grab the road-yes
she is a road hog unless properly controlled; my favorite saying with her is “the
yellow line is MINE!”)
- High flow catalytic converter
- exhaust, and chrome pipes
- Spark plugs, and wires
- Brakes
~New headlight conversion kit~ (Pilot WI-HL11; blue, green, or red outer-glow
rings, your choice of color-has blue right now) I also have the original factory
headlights that still work.
- Battery
- Starter (and heat shield)
- Transmission hoses
- Radiator hoses
- Radiator overflow tank
- Thermostat and gasket
- Automatic Choke
~I have a new throttle kit that can be installed and will go with the car if
requested~
- Suspension kit (dropped her 4 to 6 inches with a slight down-grade toward the
front/ she was being rigged to drag)
- Rear-view mirror
Working:
- Headlight motors
- Power windows (power side mirrors)
- Rear hatch release (button located on center of dash above radio)
- AM/FM radio/CD player
- 12-volt cigarette lighter (have a two-way splitter to hook up radar detector/
anything else; it will go with the car if requested)
- $400 fiber optics under glow kit/ 7 different colors and mixtures of colors/ 7 to 10
different “blinking” settings (missing one bar) will also go with the car
- Sound system (includes 1000 W amp and new interior speakers all the way
around)
- Full size spare tire (not a donut)
- Thermostat controls (heater, defrost, A/C all working)
~ALL lights work~ (blinkers, headlights, tail lights, hazards)
Runs and sounds like a beast/ 10 sec. car!
- 305 V8 carb. (edelbrock 4 barrel)
- 4 speed automatic tranny (OD)
- 80,000 miles on a rebuilt tranny and motor (6 years old)
- All fluids have been changed on a regular basses
~There is no body damage, or rust/ Factory body (The wing on the back has a small crack, but if you look on Hawks, you will find the wing that I was going to put on her, it’s like the factory one, but sits higher with a new tail light assembly for the middle light)
Things she needs:
- Tranny kick-down cable (it is fraying and will need to be replaced)
- Radiator fan (The assembly/mounting bracket has been tweaked and needs to be
replaced, I was going to put a duel-fan in it ~just to give you an idea of what you
can do~)
- The Throttle cable is in good condition but I bought a new one to go ahead and
switch it out; only because I was fixing her up, but it’s not a necessity.
- Complete interior kit (this is also not a necessity, but can be done when you have
the money)
I have dumped OVER 10,000.00 into this car and I am fed-up with all the stuff I need to do to it to get it to pass emissions. She is my baby, and a spoiled car!
