Well, uh, it is 1 of 624 with that hatch. I'd say its rare...you wouldn't?

Really?? I wasnt aware that hatch was ever an option on a Firebird or Camaro. I would agree that 1 of 624 would make it rare.

There was actually 718 of them built in 1988. The 624 figure that floats around only accounts for domestic (not exported to Canada). They were an option only on the 1988 GTA. It was a factory option, not a dealer item.
I've got a personal site dedicated for them as an owner myself:

Re: Wow, ultra rare 1988 GTA for sale!
1) It appears to be a Repaint (missing emblems)
2) Not groovin' on the wheels, original Gold Wheels would be a huge plus
3) Has either chrome tips or an aftermarket exhaust...
4) Can't tell if the windows are tinted or just the lighting....
Just noticing...

I noticed those things as well. A GTA notchback is at the top of my list. I occasionally see them for sale from time to time (never locally). Would love to get one when the stars align for me.

Re: Wow, ultra rare 1988 GTA for sale!
I think what really kills me for the wheels is they are 15s... If they were 16's they would be better, not perfect, just better.. I think the 15's make it look like a cheep old 3rd gen... The Factory gold wheels would make it look so much better imho...
Those wheels have a place, I think they would look nice on a different model, but not a notchback GTA...

I never knew that was done by the factory. Now by looking at the car I really believe a hardtop vert could have been built ~ if the effort was put in to do a notchback?

Re: Wow, ultra rare 1988 GTA for sale!
isn't a notch just a bolt on replacement for the hatch? or is there more to it than that?
