call me crazy, but I do not think that is to far out of whack for that car. Never been registered, limited production of the badest 3rd gen made! Although I am partial as I had a GN for several years and have always wanted one of these cars!

Neat car; rear hatch fits like crap.

1989 Turbo T/As in good shape are worth a lot of bucks, but I think $54K is a bit steep IMO.

With $35k - $40k cash in hand, you'd probably be able to talk the price down considerably.

I'm starting to wonder about this car, now that I see the 'Turbo Trans Am' fender badge is missing...

Agree with ya Stuart.....But my 88's hatch from day 1 wasn't the greatest fit and my TTA isn't much better.

START RANT: You drive a third gen, You know about these hatch problems, so what's the problem?
It goes along with all the "other" mis-aligned panels and bull that are common to these cars! END RANT

Have a great day!

PS: Yes.. that IS a lot of money for that one.

All the headlights on TTA's line up crooked as well. I am sure it is across the whole Firebird line, but since I am always looking at the TTA's, I always notice it on that model.

Thanks for posting that... never heard of that issue before.

The front of the hood is a little high, note the cut line at the front clip. That could be adjusted some by screwing in the front hood bumper/stop post. It's also possible he didn't completely latch the hood down if he was taking photos of the engine bay first. As for the price, a agree with you. High $30s to the low $40K range seems more realistic to me.

Stuart S

I've had 4 cars with aerowings (2 TAs and 2 GTAs) and none of them looked like that; and both that I still own are original and untouched

It's probably latched. They all look like that. I am sure it could be adjusted, just makes me shake my head that they left the factory that way.

He stated the Turbo Badges were in the box I think.

The passenger headlight being lower on the hood line seemed to be a common thing on the 88 and 89 models. My stock 88 GTA which was had 44k when I bought it and sold it with 48k had the same misaligned headlight cover to the letter.

A little time and effort and "know how" will take care of these small irregularities.

I done it.

Here's another 1989 Turbo T/A with 17,XXX on ebay. Hood fit looks a little better on this one but not perfect.

Look at the gaps on this one!


Kidding guys....

Stuart S

This has a premium price; no time and effort should be required.

This thing could have fallen off a truck or been hit on a lot new... What "collector" would have been happy with that fit/finish as-is, when it was new?

Just because something has no mileage doesn't mean nothing banged into it and no work was done to it...

Just saying...
