17k-Mile 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA

This 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA was reportedly acquired from the original owner by the selling company in 2005 and now shows 17k miles. Power comes from a fuel-injected 5.7-liter V8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car is finished in black over matching leather upholstery and is equipped with the GTA package, featuring 16″ diamond-spoke alloy wheels, a monochromatic paint scheme, and unique badging. Additional equipment includes air conditioning, a factory cassette stereo, a Borla exhaust, and a K&N air filter system. Service performed in 2022 is said to have included replacing the rear spoiler, the coolant reservoir, and the fuel filter. This third-generation Firebird is now offered with an accident-free Carfax report and a clean New Jersey title in the name of the selling corporation.
