Black prototype TTA

Does anyone know or have any pictures of the black prototype TTA that was used for emissions testing by PAS? I remember seeing it for sale several months back on turbotransam.com but the post and all info disappeared. Has anyone ever seen it? Was it a t-top car? What color interior did it have?

I've seen a burgandy Trans am turbo proto 1988 model that's around Atlanta still I think. Factory turbo car that was suppose to be crushed from what I was told. I sat in it while it was at Bowling Green Customs..... oh about 6-7 years ago. I remember the interior being tan but I can't remember if it was leather or not. I know it's not the one your talking about but still this is the only one I'd ever seen or heard of.

Biggdoggtta from the other website was selling the red one and the black one last summer. Also a convertible too, I believe.

Thanks for the info guys. I PM'd Biggdoggtta on the TTA board and he still has the prototype cars and the engine display. I will talk to him and see what other info I can learn about the black prototype.
