STEVE-O Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I know it might be a long shot but thought I would see if maybe CR had a lead My dad had 1 of 40 I believe 87 dark red GTA that did pace laps to introduce the car . Bought new and drove it almost 200k before someone hit him in the quarter and totaled the car . He is close to retirement age now and that car was my childhood I would love to find one to have for the family sake for him again I am not looking for a crazy low mileage 15k+ garage queen here Anyone have a lead on a 5k or less GTA that fits this bill?? Bonus if it is the darker ruby red or even white ( he bought a 89 white one after the 87 was totaled but only had it a couple of years ) Any color for the right price will fit the bill but also don’t wanted a junker TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 GTA’s are tough to find, let alone still in decent shape. If I see anything I’ll let you know and good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 PA cars are as bad - if not worse - than CLE cars in terms of rust. However, that dark red over gold basketweave wheels looks sikk. The car has a great bite to the exhaust note from his crappy YT video. I'm surprised people are still using CL for car ads, with so much shift to FBM. I will start looking back there for cars as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Last one would be what I am looking for almost to the T but way to far away sadly and I’m not buying it without seeing it you may have to travel for something as specific as a ruby red 30+year old GTA. It's only 7 hours and its well below your budget, why not take the 7 hour ride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted May 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 you may have to travel for something as specific as a ruby red 30+year old GTA. It's only 7 hours and its well below your budget, why not take the 7 hour ride? it becomes a 7 hour drive there, Hope the car is not a bucket, Get a trailer, load up and haul back becomes a entire day easy adding to the cost and that is if the whole deal goes smooth. ill travel 2 hours for a view and roll the dice but not wasting a 14 hour plus road trip on a hope its not that important to me honestly or some SUPER rare car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharris89 Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 My Firehawk was east of Pittsburgh and I couldn’t believe how well it was taken care of. I kept asking for pictures including having him put it on a rack for underneath. If you’re a serious buyer ask for a shit load of picks or do a FaceTime or zoom call with him going around it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree if they are a serious seller they should have no issues with this I’ve face timed people on multiple occasions when selling my vehicles even to people Just down in cincy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillbot Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I’m just sayin, if it’s a true gta the parts are worth more than the overall if it’s worth your time. Some of the people that still have them pay top dollar for certain parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
