However, below is a copy of an invoice, provided by GM, that shows an existence of a 1989 GTA with the Notchback option. Due to the condition of some of GM's records, the VIN was cut off from the invoice. Note the GTA Notchback option - on a 1989 GTA.

According to Frankie's GTA Source Page website, we know there was atleast 1 - 1989 GTA built with the optional Notchback package as Frankie reviewed some of GM's documentation and was able to gather some production figures for the 1987-1992 GTAs. These figures that Frankie was able to review did not include exported (e.g., to Canada market) GTAs; only domestic GTAs. The above invoice is for an export (Z49 - Canadian) GTA Notchback. Records indicate there was a few 1989 GTA Notchbacks produced.
