It's worth it, people just haven't quite figured that out yet. Stay strong, they'll come around.

Re: 1989 GTA 87k Paxton 5.7L A4 T-Top
I guess this is going nowhere fast. Maybe I will make it my driver as soon as my mid-life crisis kicks in. Shant be long now. EDIT: Not selling outside USA, sorry to our international friends.

I didn't think the 5.7 and T-tops went together?? At least, not from the factory.....

The Camaro had them available for 1987-1989. The Firebird GTA/Trans Am had it available for 1989 with exception to 1987 exports. Formula had them available 1989 and 1991 to 1992.

Wouldn't consider it a Pontiac being better. It simply depended on the year.

The VIN on the engine block matches the VIN on the body-actually all over the body. It's original.

Still have this beast in my garage for sale. New AC Declo fuel pump was installed recently. Fuel tank looked absolutely perfect inside.
