How unusual is this GTA?

Ok my neighbor used to own a GTA til it decided to get to know a pole a bit better. Anyway I was just thinking about this car and was wondering if it was a wacky optioned car:

1987 GTA

-L98
-power seats
-3.27 BW 9-bolt

And that was it. No A/C, not even tilt/cruise. The car was bare bones except for the power seats. Is this wierd? Or did all GTA's come with power seats?

Car: 1988 Trans Am GTA
Engine: 5.7L TPI (L98)
Transmission: 700RJunk
I thought all trans ams came with A/C (except those super rare 1le versions) and that GTA's at least came with power locks and power windows......

AC, power windows, locks... all optional equipment. Sounds like a strippy model. Dont know how unusual it is, except that most cars around then had AC.

No AC, no power locks, no power windows. Just those power seats. It is a Canadian Y84, does that make a difference?

Well being a first year GTA could have been part of it. I've never seen a "stripper" GTA before, but my friend has an 87 and he has rear drums So I'm sure he could have been a cheap-*** and got credit for not having all of those power options...

Theres the answer right there. The car was a base optioned GTA. What about the power seats though?

Car: '90 Trans Am GTA
Engine: LB9
Transmission: 700R4
Axle/Gears: 2.73's
I'm pretty sure all GTAs came with the Ultima seats.

For what it's worth my GTA also has drums in the rear. I was surprised but what the hell, good enough for me.
