What’s special about this listing

Offered for sale is a rare and exceptionally preserved 1988 Pontiac Firebird GTA featuring the highly sought-after “Notchback” rear window option — one of just 817 produced that year. Finished in beautiful white paint over gold 16-inch crosslace wheels, this GTA is a true collector’s piece with just under 10,775 original miles and factory equipment throughout.

Key Features:
Original 5.7L TPI V8 mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission – runs and shifts flawlessly
Rare Notchback Option – factory-installed and not aftermarket; a unique design cue distinguishing top-tier GTAs
Stunning Original Paint – bright white finish shows exceptionally well
Gold 16” GTA Wheels – wrapped in Nitto NT555R2 performance tires (245/50R16)
Digital Instrument Cluster – full digital dash in working condition
Near-Mint Leather Interior – well-preserved grey leather with minimal wear
Garage Kept, Smoke-Free, Accident-Free
All Original – Never Modified, Tracked, or Abused

Condition:
This GTA has been lovingly preserved and maintained since new, with all drivetrain components performing smoothly and as expected. The car starts effortlessly, idles clean, and shifts crisply. The suspension and braking system are tight, and all exterior trim and emblems are intact.

Known Issues (Full Transparency):
A/C system is non-operational
Driver’s side door position switch is inoperative
Headliner sag is present and would benefit from reupholstering

This Firebird is an ideal candidate for a collector, weekend cruiser, or Pontiac enthusiast looking for one of the cleanest, lowest-mileage GTAs available today — and especially one with the rare Notchback rear glass.
