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 nicely preserved 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
GTA with 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 has averaged under
1,400 miles annually, so that's a big indication of a
well-respected life. This is reinforced by the Flame Red paint that
shows all signs of being original and a high-gloss survivor. 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 with the original Goodyear ZR50 tires.
Exceptionally low mileage also means little seat time, so the
interior looks amazing. This tan package has a sophisticated look
against the exterior deep red, and the full package is loaded
direct from the factory. It starts with the new-style 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, an AM/FM/cassette stereo,
and cold-blowing air conditioning. The driver gets the three-spoke
steering wheel with the proper GTA-specific badging that looks
absolutely sporty. And beyond that is the optional full digital
dash package that's a rarely-seen feature that gives this Pontiac
the kind of look that even make KITT jealous.
Another option everyone looks for in the GTA is the
Corvette-derived 5.7-liter L98 motor. 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 ratio, and
four-wheel power disc brakes all meant that the GTA stayed on top
of an enthusiast's wish lists through the '80s.
This is such a complete survivor that the original Goodyear tires
even come with the sale! 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!!!
