Some things to note about the car
1) the car originally came with steering wheel controls, and those are missing, also the radio is obviously not originla

2) the headrests are gray? originally they were the brown/tan

3) the spoiler is someones aftermarket spoiler, almost looks like a Fiero Spoiler

I think the car came with pretty much all the options in 1988.

Is there any option my GTA is missing that was available in 88?

i don't think you will find such, unfortunately. It appears Pontiac kept very poor records. The total Notchback production figures itself is still up in the air to many people. So getting break-downs per option seems even less likely.

On a side note, would 305 5-speed actually be considered an "option"? i know it was available, but i mean, i don't know if it actually could be considered an option above the 350. When i say "option", i mean in the sense as additional options that make the car worth more money (then and now).

Although I am not 100% positive, I thought the notch back roof was a dealer only option - not a true factory option.

By '89, you had to order the notchback from the dealer. '89 TTA's were not available with the hatch, but IF you really wanted one, then the dealer would instal it.
Please correct me if I'm wrong...

Congratulations on a great find!

I don't think that you could order the JG1 with the 305, as the production numbers on the gtasourcepage.com show that exactly 6,913 JG1s were produced - just as 6,913 L98s were produced. Looks to me like all 350s were equipped with the aluminum drive shaft.

To my eyes, it appears that this car has every single available option for a 1988 GTA.

The only options available were the 305 engine, the 5-speed transmission, the Notchback decklid, T-tops, the U52 instrumentation, leather trim, and the subwoofer speaker system. The UA6 VATS system was also listed on the window sticker as an option; I can see from the RPOs that this car has it as well. It is said that some early 1988 GTAs do not have it, but I have never seen one.

I have never seen a 1988-model 305 GTA with a aluminum driveshaft either. I have seen later model 305 GTAs equipped with them, but not earlier ones.

I would consider the 305 automatic inferior to the 350, but the 305 manual is something special as in the US factory manuals are pretty rare. At least compared to us in Europe.

As this discussion shows, we probably should start a VIN-database for the Notchbacks including the RPOs, that would give us a better overview. The TTAs have such a database and there were more than twice as many produced than our Notchbacks, so I really think its time to start such a database

Frankie, does the 305 without an aluminum driveshaft theory apply for the regular TA as well? Because my '88 TA with the 305 has the JG1 option code.

Originally posted by twobirds
Really?? Why would be ok to order jg1 on a ta but not the top-o line gta? Can you post a pic of the codes? That is strange.

If the radio has been changed out, you might want to make sure that the factory subwoofer setup is in the car as well since you have the option code for it (UQ7 SPEAKER SYSTEM, 5, DUAL I/P, SAIL MTD STD SPEAKER, SUBWOOFER) alot of them were removed to put 6x9 speakers in.

something else i noticed, he has the U75 and V73 RPO codes.
U75 is antenna ,power ,radio.
V73 is antenna fixed. how can he have both?
