This first year for the GTA makes for a much different looking RPO/UPC production listing than the ones that you see for the succeeding years. The GTA package contents for the initial model year were very specific.
In ’87, Pontiac/GM did not differentiate between the new UPC Y84 GTA package and other production UPC WS4 Trans Ams when totaling RPC/UPC option installations. The GTA was technically an “option package” for the standard Trans Am model… and the production totals for both models were combined. Some GTA option codes are readily evident in the table below (and are in boldface type) but the majority of GTA-level equipment was also optional for the standard Trans Am as well. So deciphering option combinations for this first GTA season requires more intensive knowledge and research.
Pontiac/GM apparently realized this confusion, as in 1988 and later years the GTA models were given a separate RPO/UPC production printout of their own. All the information below and on the succeeding RPO/UPC pages has been taken exactly from GM’s original computer printouts; as such, I have decided to recreate each year’s RPO/UPC sheet as a table instead of posting the original confidential GM printout online.
