The 89 TTA has the fabric seats. I'd love to have that one!

Re: Check out these beautiful cars!

I have to question the 87 Trans AM. I've never seen one that had both the DX1 hood bird and the small bird on the front bumper. From looking at magazines in the day that had the DX1 hood bird, as well as pictures DavidM took at the assembly plant showing a few with the DX1 hood bird, none of them have both the hood bird and the small bird on the front bumper. It was one or the other.

Exactly. I was thinking the same thing as I looked at the auction before reading the rest of this thread. Someone probably added the hood bird.
1987 REG Trans Am. Rare Maroon with red interior. rarebird on hood 24k miles excellent condition does have some door dings minor chips but still all original.
There are some other details that don't live up to his description. Nice cars yes, but not exactly "original".

Ive never seen red deluxe door panels.

The nose bird + hood bird does look a little funny.

Re: Check out these beautiful cars!

That is a beautiful collection of cars....The hood bird may have been a dealer installed option. I remember seeing them on the lots back in the day with the bird added on to the sticker by the dealer.
