Here is the first shot at coming up with some production figures on the GTA/TTA cars. Since the years 1987-1990 are basically the same, the GTA cars may not have an actual year listed, rather 1987-1990 GTA; 3rd Generation TransAm.

Car Model Color/Interior Production #

1987 GTA Bright Red/ Grey 2508

1989 TTA White/Saddle Lthr Hdtp 1560

1988 GTA Flame Red/ Saddle 2508

1989 TTA White/Saddle Clth Hdtp 1560

1990 GTA Black/ Saddle Lthr 1560

1989 TTA White/Saddle Lthr T-Top 2508

1990 GTA Gunmetal Met/ Grey ?? 1560

1989 TTA White/Saddle Clth T-Top 1560

1989 GTA Bright Red/Saddle Lthr T/T 1560


On the GTA, we can change the exterior and interior colors around depending on the information we can get from the GTA source information and replies from the forums set up to gather information. As talked about previously, it is easier to do the hardtop first, then change the mold and do the T-Top body. After the second TTA car is done, then all the next cars could be either hardtop or T-Top. More than likely the hardtop bodies would be run for all the cars, then the mold changed for the T-Top bodies. So the last cars might all be T-Top cars.

On the T-Top cars, they would have a lift-off
T-Top so you could either put the top on or leave it off.

Still trying to work out the serial numbers issues. Might have to have a insert in the box so you can send for your certificate. To receive your certificate with your car number, you would have to go to the TTA web site and/or get a Pontiac verification that you have a specific car number. Then the certificate would be mailed to the person who has the actual car. If it is possible, might need all the car numbers for all the hardtops and the T-Top cloth cars. Then we could pull those numbers and put the rest of the certificates in the cars. For now, still trying to come up with the best way to do it!!!

More later. Please put the about information on the forums and try to get as much response as possible.

OK Come On Guys DID YOU READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH?? THEY ARE SERIOUS HERE!!!! LETS SEE SOME REPLYS. They are obviously reading posts here. So start showing some intrest!

If the price is comparable to the GMP stuff,
I'll take at least 2 (one leather/T's and
one hardtop).

More information for everyone.
It looks like a company called Lane may be the ones doing it. They want to finish off their Shelby line first. They are looking for a car line to do after that one. We are all pushing for the GTA/20th TTA! Right now, they are asking for more input on the GTAs. Color, T-Tops, or hardtop, and lastly, what interior-cloth or leather.
Price looks like at around $79.95 each, which is the same for their Shelby series. Hood and doors would possibly open, not sure on rear hatch. Would this be important?
So, remember that this is not a sure thing, but it WILL BE if we all can keep the interest going! So, if anyone visits other web message boards, keep the discussions going!
This is by far, the best shot we have ever had at getting these cars produced!! Let's follow this thru all the way!!!!

Would anyone here buy the regular GTAs? If so, what color/combos?

I myself, would in the end, end up with two of each! One in the box, one for display!

We will keep you all posted!!

Later,

George
