That's why I bought it. I was in the market for an '87 Grand National last year and I was very close to getting one in particular when this TTA came along with my name writen all over it - I've always been a Camaro / F-body fan.
I wish I could keep it, but I want to get to some home improvements right now. I just hope I can find one this rare someday down the road when I'm ready again.

Beautiful example of a timeless car Chris...... always was a big fan of the 1989 Turbo TA's, that car was way ahead of its time.

Thanks! I agree - they were ahead of their time.
I've owned 2 other 3rd gen cars - two true coupe IROCs and one convertible 5-speed IROC. They were great cars, but I always wanted a TTA - it's such a different car set up with the 1LE package from the factory and Turbo 6 has a violent pull at 20 psi. I'll miss it when it's gone.

Thanks!
Just tuned it up this past weekend... NEW AC Delco plug wires [comes with an 2 extra sets, (1) 20th Anniversary and (1) AC Delco set which are no longer available], NEW AC Delco plugs, NEW ignition module, NEW Coil pack, air filter, synthetic oil change with slick 50 [always used], transmission and rear end fluids changed with Royal Purple. Installed a new horn, intercooler shroud, new lower air dam deflectors and fixed some interior lights. This TTA is totally ready for a new owner.
I took it out for a long drive and it's running and shifting as perfect as ever - I almost want to keep it again, I hope I can find another nice Festival Turbo Trans Am when I'm in the market again.
