i just bought a new car, the guy i bought it from told me it was a 91 firebird formula, i knew it wasnt from the hood, gf-x and everything, since its all original, except rims. but anyways, the car has been repainted and has no emblems on it, it has the usual stuff. option 3 fully loaded. t-tops. 305 tpi /auto, aluminum drive shaft. ws6 suspension but i just want to know if its a t/a or gta. the title just says 91 pontiac FTG (what does that mean) and 2h. the VIN is 1G2FW23F0ML226567 if anybody can help me i would appreciate it.

thanks

 

Do you have the RPO codes?

 

most states don't recognize GTA's as a separate model, but FTG could be Firebird Trans Am GTA, but i don't know if i'd put much on that.

if you have the RPO label i believe Y84 is the GTA code. (check www.gtasourcepage.com for more info, it's pretty comprehensive)

i'm not sure about the 91-92's, but the 87-90 GTA emblems on the nose actually had a hole/peg that centerd them, so there might be a small hole if it's missing on a GTA that wouldn't be there on a Trans Am. all GTA's should have the lumbar seats, (but trans ams could have them too).

 

heres all the codes im pretty sure its just a regular old t/a, with nothing special, but i want to be sure, before i go and buy the emblems for it.

It's just a regular t/a. Nothing wrong with that though. It's looks like it's almost an exact duplicate of mine too.

 

sounds like a nice car any pics?

 

R6A - PACKAGE, OPTION, T/A AND GTA: CC1, UX1, & OTHERS

VIB - Are you sure

1SZ - PACKAGE, OPTION ??

 

not sure if this is right, but:

V1B : DISCOUNT VALUE PACKAGE

was a valid code as of 1990. "VIB" has something to do with mobile phones..
