Description

Up for saleis our 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA Notchback.

I purchased this car a few years back from a private collector in Missouri and I’m told that it originally came out of Texas, which helps to explain why this car is so clean.

I was interested in this particular GTA for three reasons. One, the rarity of this car is pretty amazing. I’m told that they only made about 700 notchbacks and roughly 50 were built with the 350 cubic inchmotor like this one has. The second reason I was interested in this particular car, was its originality. To my knowledge, this car has been untouched and to me looks as good as some restored ones out there. I’m not an expert, but I think everything but the front floor mats is original. Finally, the third reason I was interested in this GTA was that the mileage was so low on this car. Not even 29K on odometer yet, but I have been driving it and the mileage will go up as I'm enjoying driving the car in the good weather we have this time of year.

The car fires right up and runs and shifts smoothly. It’s actually a pretty fast car and handles the road pretty well. I just had it in the GM garage and they did an oil change and balanced the tires and the car drives and holds the road great.

The interior is mint in my opinionand I checked what seems like 100 switches on the car. Most all worked fine except that the radio turns on but the antenna will not go up, the cruise will not engage and the trunk will not shut properly. The AC blows nice and cold - just had it charged.

Body is clean and straight as the pictures reflect. If you look close on the rear quarters, you can see some slight egg shelling here and there and I’m told is a result of the cars age, but you have to look real close to see it. Someone not looking for it would never notice it.

Couple other things I want the new owner to be aware of: The driver’s side fog light is out, there are a few stone chips here and there, It looks like in a couple of spots the clear coat faded a bit, and the hood insulation may need to be replaced. I think that is about it. While this car is not perfect, it is about as nice as you could expect a 30-year-old car to be and with just a little TLC, this car could be the best around. Where will you find another in this nice original condition and with this low of miles?

If you have a question, please ask before deciding to buy it as it is being sold as is. Please look closely at pics.

All offers will be considered. I accept cash at my bank, a wire transfer and a Cashier’s Check is okay, but must clear my bank before the car or title is released.

Deposit of $200 is due after auction ends and full payment is due within 5 days, pick up due within 14 days. I will do my best to work with a transporter of your choice.

Thanks for looking
