There is a black on black 89 GTA in this weeks auto hebdo in Montreal.

I played 7300 Canadian for mine and I beleive that is close to top value right now...

A clean GTA in my opinion is worth between 6000-8000 CDN, but in all reality a clean is usually priceless... depends how nice of a car you're looking for.


Yu ever come into Montreal with your TA?

Get a TTA, then get an 84 Anniversary edition and so on. hehehe.

------------------
89 Trans Am Turbo 3.8L All stock 43,000 miles #1053 of 1555

Past Thirdgen:
86 Trans Am w/ built 355TPI with SLP goodies and too much other stuff to List. One sweet *** car, wish I would have had a good enough Job to pay insurance on three cars so I could keep it, but for a 89 Turbo Trans Am w/ Low miles, I think I made the right choice!

Getting those anniv tas would be a dream but it would cost an arm and leg in the process
