Look at your RPO codes in your glove box. The Y82 or Y84 indicates the Trans Am package.

The Y83 RPO code in the second picture is the Trans Am GT package. Your car is a Trans AM GT. Check out this link for some other RPO codes for your bird.

I'd be ticked if I paid for a Carfax report and got such vague information.

GT package is b.s for 93s because they were all GTs, the GT stuff doesnt matter unless its a 94. All 93s have the high rise spoiler, leather, 3.23s, oil cooler and QLC tire package. if you want more info on 93s check out speeddensity.org, its a site about 93 f-cars.

Actually Trans-AM GT package was dealer installed and while it is somewhat rare it's not actually a big deal.

Your right. This was a one year thing. It was like a base model TA. The only visual difference was that the TA had the low rise spolier and the GT had the High rise. The GT came with all the usual options standard (power windows, locks, seats).

Actually, the GT was a factory option for the few years it was around. As stated, the '93's had no differences between the GT's and non-GT's as they were all GT's, while the '94's actually had differences as the TA's could be had minus the GT standards, like T-Tops, leather (with the fat headrest GT-style adjustable lumbar seats), the high-rise spoiler, oil cooler, shift perform button with 3.23 gears (automatics only), and Z-rated tires with 150mph speedo. In '95 they re-incorporated the GT with the Trans Am, dropping the GT moniker and making all the GT standards individual options to add onto the Trans Am (instead of having it either fully optioned or completely optionless like in '94).
