1987 was a watershed year for Pontiac's Third Generation F-Body platform..... several new additions were made to the Firebird lineup from top to bottom, and the Trans Am model benefitted from virtually all the additions.

Introduced as an higher-end performance/luxury option package for the 1987 Trans Am.... and to highlight the Pontiac F-Body introduction of the GM 5.7L (350 c.i.) Tuned-Port-Injection V8 engine.... the TRANS AM GTA debuted amid a flurry of activity in the Pontiac F-car lineup, and eventually moved into place as the flagship 1987-1992 Pontiac Firebird model.... for the auto enthusiast who wanted a bit more "panache" from his car, in both style and performance.

During its five years of production, the "Gran Turismo Americano" edition of the Trans Am evolved into the "ultimate" luxury performance Third-Generation Firebird.

07-15-08 -- Hope that everyone had a safe, fun-filled July 4th holiday! Here in the southern US, the hot summer is h--a--n--g--i--n--g o--n. Still not getting the cars out, but I did this week see a 1-of-15 1992 Medium Quasar Blue GTA not 50 miles from my home.... in a Wal-Mart parking lot, no less! Cruise over to The GTA S/P Message Forums (link is below) and take a look in the "General Discussion" forum. It was a shock to see such a rare car out in the world....

Not much on the owner submission fronts lately.... no Spotlight features have come in and I still haven't gotten the Photo Galleries overhauled as I wished, so I've taken that section down for the time being until I get it re-done. I imagine things will pick back again later on in the summer as show season gets into high gear.

As always.... for updated website info and/or questions, please be sure to zoom on over to The GTA Source Page Message Forums and click on "The GTA Source Page" forum link. All site update info will be posted there, and you can keep track with a lot of the other goings-on of members at the same time. Thanks for sticking in there with me in '08!

The new September issue of High Performance Pontiac Magazine has a 7000-mile GTA Notchback featured this month.... by all means get out there and pick up an issue or twenty! It's a great look at a beautiful car.


Want to see YOUR GTA featured in the GTA Spotlight? Not sure.... then send in a photo and let's see what happens! Right now, the Spotlight is going to stay with a monthly format... so get those photos in here PRONTO!
