Vehicle Description
You can probably bet the ultimate version of a famous sports car
from a discontinued brand is going to be an expensive classic,
right? Well this preserved survivor 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
GTA with ultra-low miles is the rare kind of coupe that's available
at an obtainable price...for now.
The GTA was the pinnacle of Pontiac performance of the '80s. It
could be optioned with an engine related to the Corvette, and it
received the biggest tires, biggest brakes, and the best full body
kit, including rear wing, to represent all-out performance. 1987
was the first year they offered the now-legendary GTA package, and
so you want one this well preserved. This car only has about 10,500
miles total, which is basically like driving it from our showroom
to Daytona Beach and just once a year! In fact, they recently just
buffed the factory Flame Red paint to make sure this shines like
the well-respected survivor it is. More than just the original
paint, this has all the best original standout features looking
great, including the full ground-effects, special GTA badging, big
rear spoiler, and the original vented hood that always looks so
aggressive. But when a GTA is at the car shows, you know everyone
is focused on those cool factory crosslace gold wheels... and these
still have their original Goodyear Gatorbacks!
Exceptionally low mileage also means little seat time, so the
interior looks amazing. This full red package is loaded direct from
the factory. It starts with the new bucket seats that include
electronic inflatable bolstering for extra comfort in all
conditions. Plus, you have power windows, power locks, keyless
entry, power steering, cruise control, provisions for factory air
conditioning, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. The driver gets the
three-spoke steering wheel with the proper GTA-specific badging.
Beyond that are a full set of clear analogue gauges that look
absolutely sporty.
There was one option everyone looks for in the GTA, and it's the
Corvette-derived 5.7-liter L98. This fuel-injected V8 has been kept
in original condition, and it's believed to be original to this low
mileage car. GM's 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission was a
good paring because its stout nature can handle the power and
torque produced by the upgraded engine. Plus, it's quick shifting
nature and overdrive setup, made it versatile for everything from
street to highway use. But besides the drivetrain, the GTA was the
king of the streets because it received the WS6 suspension. Sway
bars front & rear, quick steering, and four-wheel disc brakes all
meant that the GTA stayed on top of an enthusiast's wish lists
through the '80s.
This first-year Trans Am GTA has always been treated with the
status it deserves. It's a highly original example of a
head-turning classic offered for an obtainable price. So you know
you need to hurry if you want to grab this deal. Call today!!!
