I read that in usa on the order sheet it was not possible to order a gta with both t-top and l98 engine and only few of them was built for external sale? So i would like to know how much or an approximation of how many 87 GTA was built with the T-top and L98. I live in Canada and got a originaly built 87 gta t-top with l98 and would like to know how ''rare'' it is (Factory).
Thanks!

1) The GTA with the T-tops & 350 were NA in the USA
2) The GTA with T-tops & 350 were pretty common in Canada, all of them that I have seen were that way...... Not saying they do not exist, but I have never seen an 87 HT GTA with a 350.

As for how many... I am not sure if compnine.com has it in their database or not.

And if i told you mine is an USA Car

1) I should explain that all cars were made in either Norwood, OH USA or Van Nuys, CA USA. However different countries have different regulations as far as fuel economy, so Canada was able to get things like the GTA with the 350, T-tops rear shade, subwoofer, whereas the GTA (or Trans Am for that matter AFAIR) in the States with the 350 was NA with T-tops, or the suboofer, or the rear shade in 1987.

2) do you have the RPO CC1?
3) Do you have the RPO Z49?

But if its a canadian car...why is the first number in the vin is 1 instead of 2?
i know they where all made in usa but...

I have an 88 iroc L98 t-top car...what does that make it? how do i find out where it was built?

okfoz

the VIN indicates where it was made, not where it was shipped to.
1 = USA

The 4th gens were made in Canada, maybe that is where you are getting confused.

As I expected, the Z49 indicates that it was equipped with the Canadian rules... On the drivers door you should have the decal in French and English.

okfoz

All 88-92 F bodies were made in Van Nuys, California.

This is a really nicely equipped GTA, as far as I can tell it has everything.

Thanks , is it possible to know how much was built like mine?

okfoz

Unfortunately at this point no. I know of about 4 GTA's equipped this way 2 were at the Trans Am Nationals in one year, and another two here on TGO. It means nothing tho. Compnine.com, some years has the quantities broken down with the total number, and you can sometimes mix and match options on the site to get a total...

From what I gather there are two sides to the data, the original data, that would show this information, and the appended data that does not show up in the totals... I think the Trans Am Data is not in the totals, but the Firebird data is for Canada.
