Nice ride there, love the 3rd Gen GM cars. I respect owners having clean cars with high kms and in standard form. Must be passionate about that car.

I always loved the 87-90 GTA's. Almost bought one back in the day....wish I had. If I had room to store it, I'd have one today. Fantastic looking car, and yours is a very nice specimen.

And I'll add any clean looking TA from that period too. They're dirt cheap right now! I'm seeing nice examples selling for $4K and that's nice paint and interior.

Looks very nice
I've got an -85 305tpi myself. It's only got 56k miles on it, but the paint is sadly buffed beyond salvation. Got a pic in "my garage".

Nice I like third gens as well. I have owned a few. I'm thinking of growing out the mullet and getting another to do an LS swap in.
