Welcome to The GTA Source Page!

1987 was a watershed year for Pontiac's Third Generation F-Body platform..... several new additions were made to the Firebird lineup from top to bottom, and the Trans Am model benefited from virtually all the additions.

Introduced as an higher-end performance/luxury option package for the 1987 Trans Am.... and to highlight the Pontiac F-Body introduction of the GM 5.7L (350 c.i.) Tuned-Port-Injection V8 engine.... the TRANS AM GTA debuted amid a flurry of activity in the Pontiac F-car lineup, and eventually moved into place as the flagship 1987-1992 Pontiac Firebird model.... for the auto enthusiast who wanted a bit more "panache" from his car, in both style and performance.

During its five years of production, the "Gran Turismo Americano" edition of the Trans Am evolved into the "ultimate" luxury performance Third-Generation Firebird.

NEW ON THE GTA SOURCE PAGE....06-08-10

Well, folks.... here it is.  Welcome to the new and improved Trans Am GTA Source Page.  This has been a long time coming, and I am so pleased to be able to offer this updated version of the site for all who love these cars and visit, enjoy, and/or utilize the information contained within.  I think this new, revamped web site is going to be even more beneficial to everyone.

Feel free to look around; you'll notice that the layout looks largely the same.  That was the intent, as I've had a lot of people tell me that they like the understated appearance that the site has always had.  We've come a long way from GeoCities, though.  So the idea was to keep that "simpleness".... for lack of a better word but to increase the ease of navigation.  You'll notice the menu has been moved to the drop-down bar above, and individual pages have been sorted by category.  External links to other "preferred" Pontiac-related sites have now been moved to the LH side of the main page for easier access.

When you use the drop-down bar, you will notice that some sections are not posted to the site yet; most of these are new additions or older pages that need reconstruction.  But rest assured.... what all you see in the menu bar (and a lot more) will eventually get to the Page in the most timely manner possible.  In that same vein of honesty, no section will be posted until I'm sure it is what I want it to be for all of you.  As you can see, there will be many new and interesting site sections added when this all gets sorted out.

Speaking of sorting out, none of this would have been remotely possible without the doings of our new webmaster.... code name Y84.  He has been instrumental in being able to take my requests and suggestions in stride to make this updated layout for all of us.  I personally owe him a great deal of thanks and appreciation for all the hard work he's put in for the GTA community as a whole and through this website.  For the foreseeable future, he will be handling the "hands-on" part of site maintenance, while I will try and supply the good ideas to make this site even better than it is already.

As always.... your thoughts, opinions, questions, or other correspondence is always welcomed, and appreciated.  Enjoy!
