Check out this super rare 1987 GTA on ebay 
:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ponti...item414b53a880
By the other spelling in the auction maybe the guy is trying to say trojan
gta? never heard of such either way.
Also check the starting bid

He's thinking Tojan, but it's obviously not a Tojan.
See https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/hist...e-carralo.html
The Tojan was the Firebird version, and the Carralo was the Camaro. Both were hideous body accents tacked onto a stock drivetrain car. The seller is just trying to scare up interest in what's just a clapped out Trans Am.

Thanks for the info Drew, I had never heard of it. I thought the ebay ad was comical though.

It is... His pics are so bad, it's hard to tell if it's even really a GTA. Is one of the t-tops always missing or did he just remove one for a pic? It might clean up ok, but the opening bid has one too many zeros.

This guy is dreaming for $8000. I've seen cars in better condition at the junk yard.

Re: Anyone heard of a Tojan GTA prototype?
but it's car #44 of 300 built by the dealer that makes Tojans!! It's like having a six cylinder 1969 Camaro purchased at Yenko Chevrolet. I makes the car more "rare"

Also note the stylish "home" visible across the street: not exactly the high rent district. If he thinks his junque is worth 8K, just think of what yours is worth now. Most of you guys reading this, your car's value just went thru the roof !

Re: Anyone heard of a Tojan GTA prototype?
Yeah that car isn't worth more than a grand and that's being VERY nice about it. The fact that it has C&C T-Tops is just another reason I'd avoid it. He listed them as "Blackened off-size t-tops" as if that was a selling point.
