Weird GTA
 

So me n username were cruisin around Jersey City the other day when we passed a shop that had this on the side of the building:

I have never seen any 3rd gen with that hatch. I thought they all had just a regular ol hatch. Is that some limited prodution thing or somethin? Its an 88. Seems to be loaded pretty good too. Power seats steering wheel mounted controls has a tpi but dont know if its a 305 or 350 posi rear and some other stuff. So whats the deal with that hatch?

It's a notchback GTA...... there rare little critters if that a real notchback

original notchback. T-tops make it iffy on if its a 350.

Go back and look at the eigth digit of the vin

ahh. i never seen or heard of that. only the GTA came with a notch? it is a 305 tpi username copied the vin lol. its in pretty decent condition. the rear bump[er was the only bad spot for the most part. paint seemed a tad faded. the interior was in ok shape. how much would somethin like that be worth?

worth just a little more because of its rariety. maybe an extra 500-1000, depending on vehicle condition. some people think they make the car. i think they are ugly. personal preference, i guess.

i WANT that hatch!!!

surprised you havent cut one up paul :lol:

ive been looking for YEARS to get a notchback.... ever since 1997.... i NEED one... theres a red iroc in my town, up the street actually(NJ) with a true notchback hatch. One day i wanna see if he'll sell the hatch seperate.

They make kits to put on your car. I forget what companies sell it but i was gonna do it to my 91 GTA. There is one around the audbon area that has one on it. The car is primer gray and i belive an 88 or 89

MOTORCYCLE TIRES

the kits are slightly different. i want an OEM one only. the rear seats are special too, i believe the same as the '89 turbo TA rear seats.


jerzeyiroc.... if you find out that guy is willing to sell, let me know asap, ill even give you a finders fee.

I know where theres a grey one sitting in a certain public storage around the corner here..... :mrgreen:

Original GM one too. Along with a repro hawks style one. I don't think my friend wants to sell though. I'll ask.

oh and yes, you're right. The headrests on the notches and TTA's are the same.

people that been to my house seen the 1988 gta notchback thats sitting in my driveway that belongs to my father

I can vouch for that.

I think 88 was the only year they came out right? Like 700+ were produced?

1988 WAS THE ONLY YEAR OF THE NOTCHBACK I READ SOMEWHERE THERE WERE 626 MADE

Yeah thats a nice little ride. I used to have a friend back in the day who had one.

Don't the original notchback hatches have some kind of ridge on them? Like MR2s? I've seen a mess of different hatches over the years, and only recently did I learn that it wasn't normal.

I dunno, it'd be nice to own a few different hatches and just switch them whenever you wanted to go do something. The wagon-esque one is probably really useful.

The Kammbach (the top pic, wagon) is a crime against humanity. They have one for each generation, 2nd - 4th. Yuck!

The notchback was novel, and also elicited a love / hate reaction from crowds. I read there were only 718 made, though Chris posted 626 above so not sure. For me the notchback has grown on me, however I'd still rather have a normal hatch back with aero wing.

That Kammback was a crime and should have been blown up upon exiting the garage. I could never fathem why such a vehicle was built or even exists still.
