305 for a GTA???
A few days ago a friend and I were looking at a 'GTA' with auto tranny at this used car dealership. THe guy working there was saying that it had a 350, but looking at the VIN # and looking at the RPO sheet. but what would u know it said Lb9. From my understanding all GTA's were 350 autos. So all I am wondering is did any GTA's come with 305s??
How do you think you got a 5-spd

....yup its a great trivia question....I believe that 1989 was the only year like that with the GTA . 1987-88 and 1990-92 all had provisions for LB9/MD8 but 89 was exempt. What I want to know is why????

Ya according to the info I got of http://www.gtasourcepage.com/ it shows no 305/auto combos in the production numbers.

FrankieRider2 The 5.0L TPI/700R4 combination was not available on the GTA in either 1989 or 1990.

....LOL yeah thats me, I had a run in with Drew a while back and for some reason I could never login with that username on this site
.... I still want to know whats up though. There must be more than one of these cars made and Frankie never got back to me so I thought I would see if someone else knew anything on the issue.

I have/had (its a long story) a PHS documented 1990 GTA with the 305 TPI/700R4 combo. I don't think I would own the only one like it. There must be more than one 1990 GTA with this combo out there. Anyone?????
