FS: 87 GTA Hardtop L98/700R4

am selling my 1987 Firebird Trans-AM GTA hardtop. It has the a L98 TPI 350 with 700R4 automatic. It has 113,xxx miles on the engine and the chassis. Gold GTA wheels tires should make it through the summer.

It drives great with no problems at all. Loaded with power windows, power locks, power mirrors, overhead console, cruise, tilt, foglights(1 has a crack but still works), etc. Black exterior with a tan interior. I just installed a new dashpad. The GTA seats are worn, and the drivers bolster needs to be repaired. It could probably use new carpet as there are some stains in the footwell, but no holes or anything. The entire interior is complete. Has a Poineer reciever and Polk EX speakers all the way around.

Exterior there are spiderweb cracks on the rear spoiler. Paint is pretty good. Just starting to show some fading on the roof, but I bet it could be buffed out. There are 2 small cracks in roof at the usual spots by the top of the window. There are some small hail type dents on the roof of the car as well. It has a few scrapes and scratches but nothing that would require any major body work. New dynomax exhaust from the cat back.

This car would make a great daily driver. I hate to sell it, but I gotta pay the bills off someday.

Looking to get $3500 for it.

It is currently in Dubque, IA,

It has been for sale for the last 2 summers, I never put an ad in the paper though. I am going to do that next week and see if I can't get rid of her. I love the car, but it doesn't have T-Tops like my Camaro did and everytime I go driving in the summer I miss them.

I need this car gone, make me a reasonable offer. (A 12 pack and some 15" wheels isn't going to cut it Kevin, sorry ) I will take partial trades but I don't have the cash to move up at all.

put an add in the paper, if it was a camaro i'd buy it. price isn't low but it isn't too high either. good starting price. t-tops are the killer though. if the pictures don't do it justice you should sell it fast. nows the time though...

It has been in the paper for a few weeks now, I am going to park it out in a lot somewhere on a major street this week. I didn't want to let it sit outside since I always keep it in the garage, but I am not getting the sale through normal means.

I might be interested, I'm in Mn. south of the cities. No T-Tops are the sticking point. I can only go to $2500 though. Nice looking vehicle. If you get to the point where you're in that neighborhood dollar wise, lets talk. Thanks

Ok I am on now! I have the cash but the timeing is all wrong. The 406 swap for the 90 is already in progress....about 1300 in machine shop costs and the 91 still needs a TKO soooo. I can't even afford a sixer and to let a set of my precious 15" Z wheels go.

I appreciate the shout out to me tho Bro.
I hope time's will change for you soon.
If not, and you still have it around January I will deliver Thirty Crisp Franklins for you to enjoy!

I can't believe you have trouble getting 3.5k for this! and what's the deal with the t-tops? when I was shopping for mine I avoided t-tops carefully: they leak and a hardtop is suposedly stiffer. plus, I like more the cleaner look without them.

this car is a better deal than mine was for the same asking price!
good luck selling it for the right price!

man if I saw your ad at the beg of spring I would have bought your GTA before I bought my 4 cylinder bird. I did emil your ad to a friend of mine though b/c he has been looking for a muscle car lately, who knows maybe he'll buy it and I can still get to drive it, or maybe my buddy would be selfish with it lol.
