I was gonna be like hmm where did the door panels go. They where tan neway and i wanted black plus the driver 1 was messed up. About the only good thing was maybe the engine and the rear tail lights the hatch glass was still good also.

Looked like that GTA was pretty nice before that happened. I guess the toilet paper and football didn't quite make it to the game.

that's definently a shame.....like everyone else is saying though....there are some still descent parts.....I would try to find out who owns it....buy it....keep the parts you want...then sell some.....you could make somre pretty good money off of it. Sorry for whoever wrecked it though...that's a shame...farewell GTA...

Actually u cant really tell but there was only 1 good rear wheel. The aero wasnt in to good of shape but the rear bumper cover was alright i think. IF some1 wanted a posi rear with the pbrs that would of saved me alot of trouble i should of checked to see if it was a 9 bolt.

Yeah not a whole lot of good parts left but odds and ends. Being hit that hard in the front its questionable if the block and motor survived without any damage.

parts list

TPI Intake
AC setup
seats
maybe tailights
aerowing

not a whole lot of guaranteed good parts with a mess like that. Damn shame. Any idea what caused the accident? Is there a bend in the road or anything? Icy maybe?

OUCH!!!! looks like he was hauling some tail.
Sad to see a nice 3rdgen bite the dust like that. I would find out who owns it, its on your property. Quickly put up some no tresspassing signs and a sign that says anything that is left on this property becomes the sole ownership of the land owner.

They turned from the coner of my rd and just got past my house not even a 1/8 mile and went off the side. Also they slid down the ditch for awhile b4 they even hit so he had to of had it floored. Also there wasnt ne blood in the car 1 of them might of got thrown im not sure what happened or how i would even find out. Ill call my friend and ask his lil sister that is in hs if she heard nething. It sickened me to see that it was a gta i seen a wrap around spoiler and was like omg thats a gta and they left it. Then i check out the wheels n they were trashed maybe the left rear is good. I dunno about the center console.

Just take the vin number to the police and tell them you are buying a car and want to check out if it has been stolen because it has a foolishly low price or something like that. If it is stolen then you might want to steer clear of it because being charged with possession of a stolen car is not a good thing to be charged with.

The emblems are highly sought after. I need the front GTA emblem.
Let me know if the owner is parting. I also need the intake runners if they aren't dented..

Though I have personally owned a 305 GTA T5 car, they're almost always auto/350s. It's an auto/350 from looking at the pictures.

i saw the digital dash too, so it must be an 88 gta, since it has the steering wheel controls.

my initial guess since it is a t-top car that it is a 305. the 350/t-top/a/t combo was much more common in 89.

i didn't see too many 350/t-tops for 88 when i was was searching for mine.

what hapd to it? still there?

Well after it happened the next door neighbors called the cops. Then when the cop got there he called the wrecker and they took it. Heres a better pic of the inside.
