Back in the game again - 1989 Trans Am GTA

Good Evening,
I bought this car about a week ago, after searching since January. of this year, I actually found it within 15 miles of where I live in Ottawa. Ontario. The car has approximately 55,000 kms and some nice touches from last last owner - lowered, 17'' after market rims and exhaust work to name a few. Here are a few pics until get more. Looking forward to getting some ideas and thoughts from the other members
Thanks,
A.J.

Hi there,
Very nice car. I love the color combo, that is what I have! My advice is, keep it mostly stock, fix anything that is not working right, and drive drive drive! Have fun.

That car looks super clean! I haven't seen many bright red with tan interior either, cool combo.

Looks nice, but that plate mount up front is too low.

Re: Back in the game again - 1989 Trans Am GTA

Right on! I saw this one on Kijiji, looks like you got a great deal. I was skeptical about all the stuff that's been replaced / redone with such low mileage though. How is she in person?

There is no good spot for the front plate. I'm glad I live in a no-front-plate state.

Had a front plate on one of my '90s, bought from Ohio when I lived in PA. Always hated that thing stuck on the nose. They should have designed the front end with a recessed area to hold that.

Darn nice car though.
