knotchback t/a???????
I have heard that the 88 gta's had the option of a knotchback from the factory? I have never seen one before, but it seems like it might look cool. I enter gm shows in my area once in a while, and originality counts. Does anyone know of a website that has a picture of one, or an aftermarket vendor that seels them?? Please help. Any info. would be great..

Classic Industries sells one version ("sportback"), but get out your checkbook....
www.classicindustries.com but the site doesn't seem to be working right now...

Hey FrankieRider2, does the rear window open when you open the back or it is just like a normal car with a trunk.

The notchback was a super rare option. That one frankierider has is NICE. I would like to see one with an f40 wing on it weather the notch was aftermarket or not. It would look sweet I think. If you ever see a notchback for sale look at buying it because it was so rare.

Besides, you certainly wouldn't want to crack one of these things. And, yes..... one of these would indeed fit a Camaro. The rear hatches attach in the same manner on both cars.

For those of you who might be interested in a notchback for your car, contact George at GT Auto Accessories (the guys with the fiberglass aerowings) and tell them you want one! He recently expressed to me a definite interest in making these decklids molded in the OEM style if the demand was great enough.

One question--Is that rear "glass"-well-glass? Also do you have a rear defog in it?
Damn I'm jealous!

Here's one taken today (7-11-01)... Sorry for the dirt and dust, but he's been serving as a daily driver for a few days for Jami while her Explorer was in the shop. It's out now, thank goodness.
For those of you interested in GT Auto's upcoming notchbacks and other body products.... their quality is excellent. Here is the first test fitting of the aero wing I got from them... and I think it looks pretty damn good.

We tried to fit the 4th gen style wing and our aero wing to the notch back and it was close but no cigar. We are going to make a wing for it. The factory camaro wing will fit and also the firebird wing not the aerowing, will fit. frankie I got the clips back (wrong address) I sent them again on mon.

Here you go, 91z4me:
This shot shows the rear interior pretty good, and you can see the spare tire bag right behind the seat cushion.
And, yes, the Notchback is much cooler inside in hot weather.....
