What's an "F4" engine (other than the aircraft)?
I know it was right after the 80's, but I don't recall black velvet interior either. I wonder if there's an Elvis embroidered on the seat covers?

Not a GTA. Just a regular TA and he is mis-informed. A true GTA would have emblems on the fenders and wouldn't have a TRANS AM logo on the door.

The hardtop and T top GTA was also available with the 5.0, not just the vert.. There are only 2,035 GTA's made in 1991, but it does not justify his price at all, especially with those miles and it just having the 5.0.

All the facts can be found here: www.gtasourcepage.com

Every year from 87-92 was available with the 5.0 either with an auto or a 5 spd..
