I need another project like a hole in the head... BUT..ITS A GTA!

A buddy of mine sent me a message on FB, and his family member or friend has an 88 GTA for sale... they were planning on scrapping it.

It has a burned up fuel pump.. and clearly burned up head light motors.....

Im expecting to see more pics, or I may go look at it this weekend. For now, Im being told its in "average" condition with "average" mileage....


I miss my old 92 and it wasnt a GTA... Im kinda thinking about it..... IDK..... hmmmmm???

"she is going to message you on FB to cut out the middle man .... It hasn’t been run for about a year .... she said the fuel pump took a shit last year around this time , and her father inlaw wants it GONE ...LOL"

I so would buy it!!!! I love the GTA/T/As of that vintage! I really really want to got wheels off of that one. LOL. I have my Mom's L98 GTA that she bought new. I love driving it.

Do it. Looks like a nice car

Nice restored examples are getting harder harder to find aswell. Both build plans sound fun to me.

Had them on my 92.;.. many people do not realize that he off sets on the fronts are different then the ones on the rears. In fact to clear the tie rods, the front wheels have a larger lip on the outside.... you would think it would be the other way.. but its not.

Ill be honest.. I want everything I own to be LTX powered, so it may very well be a canidate for a swap... in the future, but no reason to take a good running car off the road .,...if in fact it is.

Clean.... get it running... fix head lights..... maybe paint.... then decide on engine...

Yes sir... I remember a few of these coming into the garage "making a weird noise when we drive" just to find out they had the wheels rotated, because "the tires are the same size...." DOH!

haha...Yeah i have to explain to the new kids sometimes when the try to rotate wheels on bimmers.

Hey if you need help with it im down to turn wrenches..

Thanks man...I may take you up on that.

Take a peek inside the rear wheels, it should have 4-wheel disc brakes with the small aluminum calipers. Then peek down under the front of the passenger door and see if it has 1 or 2 cats. If it has 2 it has the G92 optional axle ratio. Also look to see if it has an aluminum driveshaft.

Is that G92 option GOOD?

Yes. It is the performance axle ratio, and it should have the 9 bolt aussie rear.

Oh hell yeah! It takes the 350 auto cars from 2.73 to 3.23 gears and the 305 stick cars from 3.08 to 3.42. It is a necessary option to check off to order a 1LE car. If the car is a 1LE it's VERY desirable.

Yes you could get a 1LE T/A. 3 built in 88, 26 in 89, and I think 4 in 90.

LMFAO!!!!!!

There were lots of G92 cars built. They added fuel tank baffles, dual cats, oil cooler, axle ratio, 4 wheel disc.

There were 2 kinds of rear disc setups available. The big rotor setup with the small aluminum calipers is the only one to get. The other one is the smaller rotor version and 1 caliper is mounted near the front of the wheel and the other caliper is mounted at the back of the wheel. They had problems with the emergency brake setups of those rears so for the '91-'92 year, all 4-wheel disc equipped f-bods came with the better package. I've never seen a G92 equipped car with the small rotors in back, they usually have the bigger rotors. I've seen plenty of 3rd gen IROC's with a single cat converter and the lower-end rear disc setup.

Well, I will check out the pics and the asking price and if it is right... Ill make arrangements to go look at it... with a big old JOELSTER check list.


NOW THE BIG QUESTION... I see we all like the car.... HOW MUCH IS THE RIGHT PRICE, and remember, I DO NOT NEED THIS PROJECT!

You can look in either the console or driver's side rear storage compartment for the RPO data sticker. Saves having to crawl under the car is hitty weather. G92 will be listed on the data sticker.

my neighbor has a 89 T/A that over the last 2 years i have watch fall apart....its sad it WAS a nice car.

My 92 had the RPO in the hatch compartment.

With scrap prices for whole cars in your area @ 10.50 a 100lbs, scrap on the car is 340-360.00. Offer 500.00, but don't go over 1000.00
