The 88 GTA I picked up recently has a couple of RPO Codes that I looked up on the GTA Source page and unless their #'s are really off I think I stumbled onto a pretty rare car. I have codes L98 (350 of course) which shows 6913 units for that year, then 87U (Gunmetal Metallic paint) which shows 930 units, and U21 (cluster, instrument oil, coolant temp, volt, tach) which only shows 5 units having that option for that year. Considering I only paid 2g's for the car w/ 94k miles and in almost perfect condition I think I might have really got a deal. What do you think? Are the numbers I'm reading wrong?

It'd sound more reasonable if there were 5 cars that didn't have the gauge cluster.

In any case, rare maybe, valuable no.

 

I talked to Frankie one time about that RPO and I'm trying like hell to remember what he told me. I think he said that it may be a mistake on the site. AFAIK, the GTA came with either the dig dash or the regular 4-cluster dash, and it was nearly a 50/50 split in terms of production numbers, although there were slightly more digital dashes. The Gunmetal color is a pretty rare color though. It's one of my favorite colors on the GTA.
