1988 Trans Am GTA N/back S/charged - Tuesday 10th December 2019 For Sale by Auction

Offered for sale at auction at Sandown Park Racecourse on Tuesday 10th December 2019. For more details and photos, please see the listing on Barons website.

During 5 years of production, the culmination of the GM 'F'-Body 3rd generation 'Firebird' range was this Tuned-Port, electronic fuel Injection, computerized ignition, 5. 7 L V8 equipped Gran Turismo Americano (GTA) and had a host of extras as standard equipment to the listed Transam models including a Limited Slip Diff. air-conditioning, real leather rear and front bucket seats, special Sports suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes, and premium Diamond spoked alloy wheels. The sound system was the exotic (at the time) Delco radio/ cassette system with steering wheel hub touch controls, and again is all original.

This rare notchback Pontiac Trans Am GTA is one of only 718 built, and the only one in the UK according to the Pontiac Owners Club, and probably the only in Europe, making it a rarity. Making it even more unique is the addition of a 'Vortec' supercharger upping the power from the standard 225 HP at 4400rpm to a healthy 300HP, and 0-60 in 6. 0 secs. The engine also has a performance chip upgrade increasing fuel usage efficiency.

In the USA it was dubbed the 'Ferrari Back' as it so resembled the Italian supercar at first sight, but Trans-Am enthusiasts were mainly unaware that this option was available thus making the 'survivor' cars even rarer. With this car's originality, ie. not being 'resto-modded' or converted to a 'Knight Rider' clone, has made it and other GTA's very desirable in the Trans-Am market, and are sought after in their original US home as the ultimate Firebird luxury performance car.
