This 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA is a true ultimate American classic. After all, it's not only rare, but it also has everything you want, like a loaded A/C interior and vibrant red paint. But what really makes this one exertional is that they took a low-mileage survivor and turned it into a serious speed machine with a new LS3 motor under the hood!
Flame Red was pretty much the color that defined these GTA cars. After all, it gives you the boldness or a cherry-like hue, but in a deeper and more sophisticated tone. So it's especially nice to find an example that is both original and quite slick. This car was under long-term first-owner care where the low odometer reflects the full mileage. And only in the last few years were there thousands $$$$$ invested in upgrading the performance (more on that in a minute.) But first, take a moment to appreciate the difference you can see in a cherished coupe. The Flame Red also does a great job of bringing out the added style of the golden touches on the GTA badging and hallmark cross-lace alloy wheels. The total package really does have a terrific performance look with the full body kit, vented hood, and well-integrated rear spoiler.
The tan interior goes with the golden exterior accents for a tasteful total package inside and out. And because this is such a low-mileage and preserved machine, you really have a time capsule feel inside. After all, this was the top-of-the-line car for Pontiac, and so it comes loaded with even features like power windows, power locks, power steering, remote trunk opener, and power mirrors. The factory air conditioning was upgraded to modern R134a to blow nice and cold. The driver gets a sports steering wheel on a tilt column. The buttons for your premium AM/FM/cassette stereo in the horn ring was a true premium option for a 1980s car, and now it makes for a retro-cool look on this survivor-style interior. And the full round gauge package makes for a great driver's car, especially when you see what's under the hood...
The GTA was fast for its time, but we've had over 30 years of evolution. So this one rectifies it with an awesome LS3 crate motor rated at 480 horsepower right out of the box. This was not just a new motor swap. We have about k in receipts detailing a professional installation that happened around 600 miles ago. This includes the right wiring harnesses, sensors, pedals, a full dual exhaust, and an upgrade to a GearStar Level 3 4L65E four-speed automatic transmission. The result is a powerful car that also can be an easy overdrive cruiser. This really brings the GTA into the modern age. Plus, the coupe's calling card was its handling. The GTA was the king of the streets because it received the WS6 suspension as standard. This includes sway bars front & rear, special shock absorbers, performance coil springs, and a limited-slip rear end. Add in four-wheel power disc brakes and BF Goodrich gForce Sport tires, and you know this upgraded classic knows how to still rule the streets.
The sale comes complete with build receipts, service manuals, and a car cover. This is the iconic GTA that's vintage where you want it and seriously upgraded in all the right places. Don't let this unique coupe slip away. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent.
