Congrats!
I loved my 85' when I had it. Very comfortable to drive.
Had the black and gold w/ suspension package. It was just an LG4 but was a real fun car to drive. Real smooth on the highway when going over the top of the speedo. Sold it about two years ago and I still see the thing buzzing around town. Wish I had another one.
Sounds like yours is much more fun than mine was

Thanks formula1988. I got the rims believe it or not for an even trade with a local guy who had them on his 50 chevy truck sitting in a garage that were off of his wrecked GTA. I had a nice set of ARE'S on the T/A but it was missing that classic stock look without the GTA'S on it.

I had an 89 firebird formula with gta rims. I totaled it going around a curve with bald tires in the rain. I wish i would have kept the rims.
I like the color of your T/A, black makes it look mean. I have been wanting to race a t/a.
How much did you pay for it?

I had those same wheels on mine, never knew they were GTA's.
Thought they came with the suspension package.

Formula1988 I paid 5900.00 for it Just about everything on this T/A is new, the interior is brand new from a 4th gen. new weather stripping and t-tops, new high performance suspension upgrades, motor and tranny have 8000 on them. It was all done professionally.

That's a nice car you got there! Complete 4th gen interior?(Dash, seats, etc?). I love the look of black and gold T/As, reminds me of Knight Rider/Smokey and the Bandit

The interior seats only are new 4th gen. the dash guages were used from a six cylinder because they used an 80 lb oil pressure guage which gives a true reading for my oil pressure because it goes above 60 psi.

I think your right though, it was probable a package you could get. humm.... i just call them gta's because every gta i've seen has those rimes.
