The 1988 Pontiac Firebird GTA was already the true king of Pontiac performance, but this example takes all the driving features you love and also has all the rarest factory features around. Yes, it's a distinct Notchback coupe! So when you're looking for that one fuel-injected V8 classic that will always draw added attention, you need to dig deeper into this highly-optioned GTA.
Flame Red was pretty much the color that defined these GTA cars. It gives you a vibrant metallic style that also has deeper tones to let people know this was something special. This shows the right signs of being the original factory application, and the odometer is also believed to reflect the full actual mileage. The result is a well-respected car that has also been driven. So the glossy red could use a professional detail if you're taking this one to the car show, but from day one, it knows how to impress with its sleek shine and crisp body panels. These GTAs had a terrific sporty style with the full body kit, vented hood, and rear spoiler. And the crosslace alloy wheels gave these the sophisticated look of a European grand touring machine. While the GTA was already different-looking from the T/A, this one is even more unique. A few lucky people dug deeper into their pockets to get the notchback option. This was a specialty piece ordered from the factory that took the rear back glass and gave you a sporty flat hatch with a hint of flying buttress. It makes the car look beautifully different, and it's also exceptionally rare with only 600-700 notchbacks believed to be ever delivered by Pontiac. So when you realize that the GTA is a quite rare machine, and this has the rarest body style, you can start to imagine you may never run into another Pontiac like this ever!
For the same reason why we love the look of the gold wheels against the deep red, we love the look of the golden tan interior. It has an overall stock style and level of cleanliness that reinforces the understanding that this rare Notchback has been respected as something special. The GTAs were loaded with great features, like the new-style bucket seats that include electronic inflatable bolstering for extra comfort in all conditions. Plus, you have power windows, power locks, power steering, cruise control, the premium AM/FM/cassette stereo w/5-band equalizer, and cold-blowing air conditioning. The sports steering wheel is different from most other cars you see, and that's for a good reason. It helps control the optional full digital dash package. It's a rarely-seen feature that gives this Pontiac the kind of tech that would even make KITT jealous.
They were quite good with the option boxes on this GTA, and that includes the engine bay, too. The L98 5.7-liter fuel-injected V8 was shared with the C4 Corvette, and so it was the right choice for a premium performance Pontiac. These were especially known for their torque, and so the famously stout 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission was the only pairing. It's a great piece that gives you both confidence on the road and easy overdrive cruising. It helps make for an all-around solid driver, and that's the key to a great GTA. It came with features like four-wheel disc brakes and the desirable WS6 sports suspension to encourage you to find the open road.
Complete with owner's manual, you now understand that you're looking at the rarest of the rare. So if you're ready for an awesome GTA that's ready to hit the road, call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
Fees
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
Availability
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
Contact
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
Inspection
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
Payment
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
Shipping
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
Drive it Home
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility. Documents & Vehicle Titles: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN Verification
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
Mileage
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
Condition
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
