My 1987 Pontiac Trans Am GTA

[@joedanvers1010]

IMO the best looking GM car ever made, and among the top 5 from any manufacturer. Great car!!!

[@larrytate5605]

WOW,.... STUNNING Pontiac was on top of their game with this one,......I had 2 new irocs back then but I always knew the trans am had much more detailed styling, it was just way above the Camaro.

[@cmdc778]

I had a '91. Wish I still did, though I prefer the looks of this one. Pre-facelift.

[@berndk.9741]

Very nice! Mine is a 305 TPI that looks exactly the same except for the steering wheel (mine's including all the radio control buttons).

[@always.xo.dev.]

This car is absolutely gorgeous! You definitely have a treasure!

[@orchids3332]

Very nice. I bought mine from it's original owner about 14 years ago. Glad to have you in the club. Enjoy!

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Beautiful! 🔥 I have 88 GTA with digital dash. 🙂

[@KLEEFANable]

Gorgeous black GTA you have here!! Absolutely stunning. I have an 88 flame red metallic

[@krnt13]

Beautiful car, that paint looks immaculate!

[@davedave2882]

Absolutely gorgeous I've owned several, 84 trans Am in high school an 87 formula an 89 trans Am in an 89 GTA, never had one with the digital dash though I always thought that was a pretty cool option.

[@ribeye-03]

You have my dream car with dream combination

[@simonriddick]

Wow she looks good. I had a 89' black on black leather GTA when I was 19 am 41 now. You know what's crazy that car is still around and alive!. Probably has well over 250xxx miles original motor and all. I drove the snot out of it and so did the previous owner. L98 was a beast of a motor. Mine had no digital dash but had a steering wheel with buttons. Good times.

[@jamesprice6381]

Owned a Dk Blue 85 TA w/T-Tops ( 1986 in Dallas Tx was stationed at Grand Prairie Naval Air Station) added Enkie wheels/gatorbacks Performance chip, performance urethane sway bar bushings, pulled the tape at bottom of door edge......She was an AMAZING ride that i miss sorely, M n the new wife would drive tops off at nite in Atlanta, its such a beautiful memory...( Got a NEW baby in Atlanta 1991 n needed a family car :) ) Congrats on such a beautiful ride, also watched your video on HP-100s I have a Fischer 500C ive upgraded w/Pioneer CS-520s upgraded w/best amazon 3 way X over ( one ONE speaker) , its NOT bad at all, but after listening to your HPs, im gonna do some homework and adapt the MV audio X-over to mine w/a lile tinkering! :)

[@RyanGallager]

Put that thing away! It's too nice! haha. Love it. Hope there's one left for me some day.

[@89transamlover6]

Absolutely beautiful. New Subscriber. I just love these cars.

[@smithperformanceracing5848]

Clean trans am man. I had a 88 GTA exactly like it. Them emblem's are gold plated.

[@michaelm3381]

Beautiful TA! I love these cars.

[@christianbugatticg]

Great color combo!

[@Sandhill1988]

My brother bought one new in 87, they were not available from the factory with T tops on the early 87's, yours must have been built late in the model year. Stunning GTA!

[@oberday]

The T tops on mine were made by a company called Cars & Concepts. Look them up, they designed excellent products. Unfortunately no longer in business.. times change.

[@oberday]

Yes. Mine was built at the Norwood, OH plant towards the end of the production run for 1987.

[@jpontiac4294]

Awsome...I had the same one in white.....I miss it. Great cars....love it

[@PURENT]

80s car design, especially in the interiors is probably the most interesting in history. The automotive world had a fascination with digital interfaces including speedometers/tachometers but the technology wasn't there yet to make something simple. They all looked so complicated, like you just entered the cockpit of a jetliner.

[@oberday]

Absolutely true. Tons of buttons everywhere, it looks more sophisticated than it actually is. But it's still really cool even by modern standards.

[@greeniembush4106]

A very great Beautiful Car love the 1987 trans am. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤.

[@WsOwner]

Nice car! I own a 1990 black like yours but convertible!! 5.7 gta WS6 with 28k+ miles, Enjoy driving only weekends. I be driving to California in two weeks for a paint and top job. Enjoy ur car !!!

[@rdeh1678]

All you are missing is the notch back , I had the turbo version of this car

[@SA-zoom1]

Absolutely beautiful

[@edster6901]

Man love your car those are my favorite fuel injection years TPI its a beast unique sound especially with just a catch back and maybe full exhaust sound.

[@MughHungusWhat]

So. Here’s my story right. I’ve got 3 mustangs. 2 paddle shift (no clutch) 1 automatic. I love all of em. But I’ve been wanting a “race car” starter car for so long. I finally convinced my friend to let me get his for 2 grand. It was a steal MAJOR steal and I’m so happy. It has the T5 5 speed same engine as yours and the t tops. Really happy the car is so grumbly and responsive to me when I use it. But do you have ANY helpful tips for this car. I don’t expect any response but any knowledge I can take I can use haha. Going fast in it tho…. Terrifyingly fun

[@wt1370]

I’m pretty sure the GTA’s had 235hp

[@stevepaza]

Das ist ein Traumauto

[@jxhws678]

Its really clean and beautiful gta 😍

[@Haroulis277]

Looking to get one of these but the prices have just inflated so much I can’t justify it. Wondering how much you purchased this for 2 years ago.

[@milesmania1150]

NIce. You are lucky to own a 5.7 that had t tops put on. They did not come with t top 350 option until 89. I can tell because of the t top trim on the roof. Not many that have had t tops added. WOW

[@oberday]

Correct, mine are tops from Cars & Concepts. I like them better than factory in both design and appearance. To minimize chassis flex, I installed the wonderbar and Alston Racing subframe connectors. I chose the Alstons for their light weight, only 20lbs. The SFCs made a big difference.

[@milesmania1150]

@@oberday I had weld in frame ties installed on my 85 Trans Am convertible when I had it and it made a huge difference.

[@oberday]

@@milesmania1150 agree, weld in is the way to go!

Beautiful car

[@joeymccullough2716]

Beautiful T/A! Wish I could find one like that-never was a fan of the digital dash, though. I prefer the analog gauge cluster

[@mr.joshua204]

I had no idea that they had a digital screen for how fast you were going in the 80s

[@SA-zoom1]

Mines an 88 5.7 GTA has the same Cars & Concepts T Top and digital dash.

[@oberday]

Are you happy with the tops?

[@SA-zoom1]

@@oberday yes, I got brand new rubbers from hawks and tightened all the bolts. They are better than the factory tops. Unbelievably I have also recently acquired a very good spare set, so have less worries in case one breaks!

[@michaeljordan6008]

Gorgeous. So much nicer and more interesting than IROC.

[@oberday]

Better quality interior materials too.

[@rafalkowalski5062]

Woooow. :)

[@theotherguy3083]

Wanna sell it?

[@dpf1g2fw]

Definitely a beautiful car. Did you add the Trans Am call outs to the bumpers? The GTA has its own badging and the TA callouts weren’t stock from the factory.

[@oberday]

Yes, I did.

[@Themanwithnoname70]

Awesome 👌

[@levihecker8908]

Beautiful car, have you done any work on it? I have an 87 GTA that I am about to work on to replace the suspension.

[@oberday]

It really didn't need much when I bought it but I did replace all the engine sensors, new intake manifold gasket, SFCs added, wonder bar added, replaced the sail speakers. It's a turn key car. That's what I love about these TPI 3rd gens, they're quite reliable.

[@timsgta]

350 with t tops, I think you got robbed, GTA with t tops had a 305...

[@oberday]

Cars & Concepts.. Great products in their day.

[@bluecow10]

Beautiful car! I’m in the midwest so I store my car over the winter (Oct-April) , how many months of the year do you guys drive the classics?

[@oberday]

I drive several days per month, obviously more in the summertime. During the winter, I need dry payment that's clean... I won't drive on roads after a snowplows drop sand, even if the roads are dry. Too risky for rock chips

Might want to check never did 5.7 GTA and T-Tops til 89

[@oberday]

Cars & Concepts

[@andymantoronto]

That is incorrect, beginning in 1987 Canadian models had 5.7 and T-tops, some factory t-top cars did leak into the U.S. market.

[@lhdd6923]

Anyone know where I can find a new digital dash?

[@33ordie]

But it is bone stock. I'd completely redo the exhaust fuel and intake, open it up. Just that you'd probably grab an extra 100hp.

[@oberday]

I made some very minor mods but nothing that would impact engine performance. I love it for what it is.

[@spazzman90]

This is a collectors piece at this point. Probably better from a historical and financial standpoint to leave it unmessed with.

[@33ordie]

@@spazzman90 Meh I'd deff redo the whole exhaust into a full fuel line 3 inch bore with headers...
