The previous owner told us that it has 116,993 ACTUAL - ORIGINAL miles since it was brand new and Carfax shows mileage progression !! This GTA still retains its correctly mounted - FACTORY ORIGINAL -corrrectly mounted dash mounted  Pontiac VIN plate shown in a picture below. I drove this Beauty for the last several days as my everyday driver to and from the office running errands as needed and it ran and drove GREAT. I was very impressed how well this car handles and how smooth and POWERFULL it is - trust me this thing is a ROCKET !

At the heart of this Trans Am GTA is a VERY STRONG - ORIGINAL - OPTIONAL - Code "8" - (225 Horsepower / 330 lb/ft Torque) - 5.7 Liter Tuned Port Injection V8 motor that is running very well indeed. The  motor still retains its ORIGINAL Intake Plenum , ORIGINAL exhaust manifolds, ORIGINAL valve covers, ORIGINAL air cleaner housing, ORIGINAL intake duct and the ORIGINAL TPI throttle body. Sounds  great too with the - "THROATY" - factory style dual exhaust system. The motor is backed by a - SMOOTH - 700R4 four speed overdrive automatic transmission that also functions very well. The BEAUTIFUL - COMPLETELY ORIGINAL - Tan cloth and vinyl - GTA ONLY - interior is in VERY NICE condition including VERY NICE ORIGINAL Tan cloth and vinyl GTA - "Ultima" - front bucket seats with factory headrests, NICE ORIGINAL black center console with padded center armrest, VERY NICE ORIGINAL Tan carpeting, VERY NICE ORIGINAL matching Tan cloth and vinyl door panels, NICE ORIGINAL Black dash pad with several cracks in the center, VERY NICE ORIGINAL GTA Only Digital guage package,  VERY NICE ORIGINAL GTA Only steering wheel, VERY NICE ORIGINAL  Tan cloth headliner, VERY NICE ORIGINAL Tan cloth sunvisors and a VERY NICE ORIGINAL Tan cloth folding rear bucket bench seats. This  Trans Am GTA is loaded with factory equipment including FACTORY WORKING AIR CONDITIONING, factory 4 way power disc brakes, factory power steering, factory WS6 performance suspension, factory power door locks, factory power windows, factory soft ray tinted glass, factory rear hatch power pull down latch, factory eye level brake light, factory theft detterent system, factory GTA only digital guage package with factory tachometer and digital fuel data display, factory cruise control, good heater and  defroster, power delayed wipers, factory back up lights, factory rear window defogger, dual color matched power remote sport exterior side view mirrors, original day / night rear view mirror, factory tilt steering column, factory cruise control, good glass, factory remote hatch release, an awesome Kenwood Excelon HD AM / FM / USB / CD Player digital stereo radio, factory front and rear seat belts, factory fog lights, factory removeable t-tops with factory storage covers and factory back up lights. All of the ORIGINAL light lenses and reflectors are still clear, bright, UNCRACKED and BEAUTIFUL !! All of the ORIGINAL trim and moldings are in VERY NICE condition including VERY NICE ORIGINAL  molded front and rear bumpers, VERY NICE ORIGINAL GTA molded ground effects and VERY NICE ORIGINAL GTA emblems. This car is an outstanding cruiser or driver for your local cruise night or show-n-shine !
