I need this car gone, before January, I'm willing to take a lot less for it than I was originally asking. I started a new post to get the price in the subject. From the old Post, edited slightly:

FS: 87 GTA Hardtop L98/700R4

I am selling my 1987 Firebird Trans-AM GTA hardtop. It has the a L98 TPI 350 with 700R4 automatic. It has 115,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. It is going to need 2 front tires. The GTA wheels are starting to peel. Has a slight slight miss at idle but is still strong. U joints are starting to go out as well. Little bit of a rattle from the rear end, I think it is the brake pads.

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



It is currently in Dubque, IA,

why couldn't it be t-top or camaro... i can't believe you can't get rid of this thing... someone buy it before i buy it and take a saw to the roof!

 

Sawing off the roof came to my mind too. The only thing I really don't like about the car is the fact that it is a hardtop. If it had T-Tops I probably wouldn't be selling it. But then again...might as welll go targa if you are cutting it up.

I can't believe it hasn't sold either, I have it in the local newspaper, TGO, MNFbody, CZ28, etc. Other than park it at Walmart(which I realllllly don't want to do, over the weekend I have no idea what else I can do.

 

there isn't a whole lot unfortunately.

 

maybe Denny would be interested.. I know he buys and sells our kinda cars all the time...maybe you should pm him ( LFNATU) to see if he could help you out at all

 

I think people are just that hard up for cash right now. I had a few parts for sale that I ended up throwing away. nothing wrong with them at all! no rust gast tank and sending unit and a few other things

 

I live an hour north of Dubuque, in Wisconsin.. I'll take it off your hands! But i'm broke. Haha.. Good luck selling it.

 

Try putting it in Autotrader. I know it will sell in there.

 

I sent u a pm about it a few days ago

Wanted a few undercarriage pics and where the fading is on the roof

later

Working on the pics. I broke the lens on my camera so I have to find someones to borrow. Hopefully today or tommorow.

 

Threw in some new seats. I emailed you some pics 3.8TransAM.

 

Found a new car, this one needs to go. $2000 cash.

 

i can not believe this thing hasn't sold, if it were an iroc with that motor it wouldn't last a day. i wish you were closer to me as i'd come take a look just in case.

 

Yea, I don't understand what people don't like about the GTA/Trans Ams. If it doesn't sell at this price I am going to part it out.

 

Have you tried ebay yet, thats probably your best bet. I'd hate to see you part that car out it is such a nice car

 

I'm currently in Rapid City, SD. I'm very interested. How bad is the rattle in the rear end?

 

It isn't too bad. You can hear it in the car driving with the windows open. I think that it is the brake pads on the rear disk rattling. It is a known problem that the tabs wear and they can work loose.

 

check you PM's for buyer info.


Leon.

 

SOLD!

Thanks Leon.

 

Thank you Chris,

We got home about 7:30pm, without any trouble, car ran great all the way

We can't wait to get into it a little deeper, and have some fun with it.

My kid is 15 yrs old, and I think he was having the time of his life, getting that car back home

Leon.

 

Congrats on the car. I was actually thinking of a way I could come up with 2000 to buy it to save it from being parted out, glad you guys beat me to it because it would have really pissed off my wife since I have 3 other thirdgens in my garage now.
