found an 88 GTA with 5-speed in the local classifieds...lots of other thirdgens but this is only one that peaked my interest...is it rare? im not keen on the firebird lineup....also is 2500 a good price for it?

------------------
1998 Cobra convertible
1 of 267 made in
white/tan leather/tan top
#388 of 3480
mods: tan bumper inserts, pirelli P7000's on all corners

my other car:
1991 Camaro RS
teal/grey 5.0 LO3
mods: 14x3 OE w/ K&N, custom exhaust w/ no muffler and resonated tip

 

I'd say it's kinda rare in that there just aren't alot of manual GTA's around. That's only a good price if it's atleast a 7 condition wise. Good condition GTA's are really easy to find now a days for a cheap price if you look hard enough.

In my area $2500 is a good price for any decent GTA. Just remember, if it's a 5-speed it has to be a 305 car.

 

There were about 800 5-speed GTAs in 88. In general, the TPI 5-speed cars are rare. I just started driving my 88 5-speed GTA and it's definately a ton of fun to drive.

I'm getting off the topic just a little but I thought you guys might like to hear about this one. A guy at my church bought a 87 GTA 350 from a relative just to use as daily transportation. The car had 25,000 original miles on it when he got it(about 28,000 now),and he paid only $7,000 for it. It'd be nice to have relatives like that.
