non white tta
I've heard that there were some early test versions of the 89' turbo trans am that went to the public in colors other than white. I was wondering if there was any info on those cars like what colors, options and badging.
are they still around?

They did have a couple test mules that were different colors, but im 99.9% sure they were never sold to the public. It would be sweet though if it was true I guess there was one convertible, but it caught on fire or so thats what I heard

He's also got the prototype engine too, I believe. He has all kinds of rare prototype stuff. Really a nice guy too.
