I’m a sucker for 80’s stuff and that includes the car designs of that decade. Not exactly known for the greatest decade for muscle cars especially in the performance stakes, but the exterior designs still hold up well today. With this 1988 Pontiac Trans Am GTA design, you’d have to drive it with a T-shirt, suit top and rolled up sleeves ala, Miami Vice while blasting an 80’s compilation cassette. That might sound a little cheesy, but oh you would be so happy.
This example is in pristine condition, with loads of original paperwork and very low mileage. It’s also said to have been stored in a climate controlled environment for the past 30 years. The GTA has the 350/5.7L Tuned Port (TPI) which is said to have made 245HP with the TPI and improved valve train of earlier models. It’s apparently quite easy to miss match parts on this engine, so it’s good to have everything here original.
The interior is in great condition, definitely reminiscent of something like a Ferrari of its day with its color. Ironically, the notch back option was referred to as the ‘Ferrari Back’ in the day.
You’re not going to win any awards with speed and performance with this Trans Am, but it is an amazingly well-kept example of its day. If you’re nostalgic for the 80s, then you may want to shortlist this one. Low mileage examples are reaching the high $20k mark, so this could be an ideal 80’s investment piece.
