nice car go and drive really well, but it needs the factory wheels on it,

I can't seem to find any factory alloys (they are a 16" X-spoke design on the GTA) but I have a set of Camaro factory alloys which I am going to put on it for now. Those chrome jobs weigh about 15 cwt each.

yikeh, work computer doesn't show photobucket pics. I'd love to check back later to view your car! I love the Trans Am GTA's of the late 80ies

Funny thing is I rate it a lot more as a car now I've driven a 1st gen one. (the '69 SS Clone) If I get time today I have some poly drop links for the rear anti roll bar to go on and a couple other bits. Sitting in them stationary the older car is cooler, but on the road the 3rd gen really shows what 20 years difference made on a muscle car.

Saw the pics now, great look (I would have kept the wraparound rear spoiler for it)

If anyone has (or knows of) a rear spoiler let me know. I'd like to refit it but one did not come with the car.

14.6@94 not bad. Considering that was on rock hard Coopers and she needs a service....

I have a 85 T/a black like this, had it a long time, the rear spoiler gradually went , could not get it painted so I took it off, you can get glass repro from the states but with the shipping works out a lot.

These are great cars!

love the shape of the GTA although the 89 Turbo TA is the Daddy
