Correct owners manual for 88 GTA?
My car is missing the owners manual, and I'm trying to find one on ebay. Were there different manuals for firebird/trans am/gta, or do they all say firebird? The only ones I can seem to find just say firebird on them. Is this the correct one for an 88 GTA?

Re: Correct owners manual for 88 GTA?
thats the one (GTAs are Firebirds) Full of mostly general information--there would not be a need to have one for each different model.
I had to get mine off ebay too

You can also go to www.helminc.com
Helm's carries not only the specific year owner's manual, but also service manuals. The owner's manual runs about $20 I believe.
Best regards,

Re: Correct owners manual for 88 GTA?
When you bought the manual from Helminc.com, did you get the shop manual? I looked on there and they list an '89 Camaro Shop Manual Reproduction for $146. I'm alittle hesitant on buying from ebay stores, which have them cheaper.

I have a shop manual for 89 and 92, both from Helms. The 89 was something like $90 and the 92 was around $40. There are a number of shop manuals on ebay, same ones as from helm, sometimes a little cheaper. $146 though is crazy! Must be in high demand.
