It has a 455 engine ,TH-400, Shaker hood ,all the spoilers and air dam, sport mirrors,
air outlets on the front fenders, and Safe-T-track axle.
Don´t know if there is rally gauges and the heavy duty suspension on it.
I have only seen pictures of it.

Many Thanks / Johan
The VIN number should tell you if it is a TA and what engine it came with. Second digit, 2V87 should be a TA, U is Formula, T is Esprit, S is Base Firebird. 455engines were X or Y in the 5th digit of the VIN.
