1992 Jamaican Yellow L98 TA
Hello All,
Been looking for some time for one of the elusive 14 JY GTAs with no luck. Then last month searching online I found Chris selling his JY TA once again. I honestly thought it was his old ad from years back just coming up in my Google search but I contact him and he said it was a current listing. I was extremely excited. Car arrived a few weeks ago here in MI and I have started the process of getting her back to stock, which won't take much. OEM floor mats, OEM radio, remove the tint, replace a few of the decals and some TLC to the original paint.
After having John A-Z do some research on the car, he confirmed that this car is only 1 of 6 L98 JY TA's..... it also might be the only one of the 6 with grey interior (not confirmed). Either way I'm extremely happy to have a very rare car from my bucket list of Firebirds. Here are a few pics of her and for those of you that attend the TA Nations in Dayton, you will see her next year. Enjoy!

Pretty awesome. All but the front plate bracket. Remove it, ASAP.

Sweet! Congrats on the purchase. I love all the JY cars.
I'm hoping to be in Dayton next year. Hopefully I'll get to see it in person.

Well, picked up another Jamaica Yellow TA.... this one is a convertible. She needs some work but picked it up very very reasonable.
In the right light, the 91-92 trans am is a sharp looking car

Nice bookends. But the front plate bracket, poof. Be gone.

Sweet! I love that color. Great looking pair.
And in the Metro area. Maybe I'll see them out sometime.
