1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA Notchback — Ultra-Rare Survivor, 44k-Mile, 5.7L TPI V8, 4-Speed Automatic

This highly original 1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA Notchback is an exceptionally rare, factory AA8-option vehicle—one of only 718 produced for the single year of Notchback availability. Delivered new to Vicino Buick Pontiac GMC, Inc. in Mansfield, Massachusetts, this survivor shows just 44,055 original miles and features a factory-correct White (40) exterior finish over a beautifully preserved Medium Gray interior. Combining its numbers-matching drivetrain with historical documentation, this time-capsule F-body represents the absolute peak of late-1980s American performance car heritage.
