Hi everybody

I just bought a 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA thats in for a pretty extensive mechanical overhaul at Fireball Performance Automatics in Williamsburg Ontario. The engine has a few bolt on upgrades, an upgraded exhaust and brakes. Dont worry I plan on doing something about the spoiler, am thinking of putting an IROC spoiler on it.

 

welcome, looks like a clean platform to werk with, keep posting

 

Welcome neighbor !!

 

Watched this car on Kijiji for the last few weeks, glad someone on here scooped it!

 

The car needed quite a bit of work and scared away a few buyers from what I understood. I got it for an OK price and it's being worked on right now, not great, just OK
Already have a swap lined up for the spoiler to get Firebird low-rise spoiler, will probably delete the third tail light, also have a paint shop lined up to colour match and spray it.. may go witth black since I have the strips on the front and nothing really black on the tail. WIll see what feels right when I get it. Another 1-2 weeks

 

It looks pretty clean in the pics at least! Have you checked the RPO's to make sure it's actually a GTA? Regardless, a stock spoiler and black center caps will instantly change that car. I hate that cowl hood too but that's just personal preference

 

Welcome!
Very nice looking GTA.
You must be itching to get it back.
Where are you located?

 

The VIN comes back as a GTA with

 

I got it back the day before yesterday, still have some things to iron out, next thing is cluster lights and headlight adjustment.

I'm located in North Dundas, I grew up in Stittsville so we're in the same neck of the woods. Might go to Luskville this weekend theres a show.

 

Take a look in the center console, there should be a white sticker with all your codes on it. Y84 will be your confirmation of a GTA. Vin decoders and ownership papers just give whatever comes up under "Firebird" so they can't really be trusted. Regardless, looking forward to seeing what you do with her!
