1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am

 

One of 1500 made. Indy Pace Car Limited Edition. 19K original miles. This car has the Buick Grand National 3.8 Turbo engine installed from the factory. It was the fasted US production car in 1989. With the lighter V6 Engine and the 1LE suspension this was a great handling car with great braking capability. Never driven or been in rain or bad weather. Stored in a heated garage for its entire life. Original paint, original rear spoiler in great condition. Leather interior with all of the options. The paint and body are in excellent condition with no dings or scratches. A real garage kept and pampered car. Clean Car Fax and title.

This car had a window sticker in 1989 for over $31K. That is $60K in today's dollars.

The car has the following upgrades and I have all of the original parts stored for the car.

I took the factory exhaust off of the car when I got it to preserve it.

  • Terry Houston 3" Down pipe. Very rare and almost impossible to find for the TTA now.
  • New TE63 Turbo. Just installed and have not had it out yet. I have the stock turbo.
  • 009 injectors
  • Eric Thumb Wheel chip. The only one he made for the 009 injectors.
  • Alcohol injection, Premium Alcohol Control Kit,
  • Upgraded Walbro 255 lph fuel pump in tank
  • Vince Janis Built 200R4 transmission. The best trans built for these cars.
  • PTC 3000 Stall Converter. Top of the line converter.
  • Festival lights, Indy Pace car flashers in the rear with a special strobe box to control the front lights.
  • Auxillary boost gauge along with EGT in exhaust to ensure 100% engine safety.
  • GN Big Neck Intercooler. I removed the factory GNX Intercooler to preserve it. I still have it and will include all of the original parts including plug wires with the car.

Car has not been driven over several hundred miles during the last four years.

It has a new battery and good tires. This has been a senior owned car and never abused. I have an extra set of the rare rear rims. I will also include an extra set of glass T-Tops to go with the Lexan ones that come on the car.

The TTA inherently has a weak transmission with the 200R4 that was used in all of the Turbo Buick's of that era. This car has an upgraded trans by Vince Janis, one of the best builders of these transmissions in the country. It also has a PTC 3000 stall converter which works perfectly with the car combination.

The TTA also has an inherently inadequate fuel pump from the factory so that has been upgraded to the Walbro 255.

All of the upgrades to the car were to address weaknesses in the factory TTA hardware.

The car runs very good and it is time for someone else to enjoy it as I do not drive it very much.

The radio works intermittently but for the last few months it has worked every time I started it up so I am not sure but thought I would mention it.

There is some slight wear on the driver side bolster which is normal for these cars. No rips tears or any stains on the carpet, seats, or doors.

 

My feedback score is 100% so I will be honest and treat you fairly.


I just noticed in the listing that it shows an odometer issue. When this car was titled in PA it was inadvertently listed as having 151,114 miles instead of 15,114. The current title states that 16K is the correct mileage on the title that I have and there are no issues with the mileage as this is an original 19K mile car with no issues with the title. I am not sure how these crept into the record with this car as far as the incorrect mileage and exceeds mechanical limits. Clerical issues, as I have a clean title and the car is obviously a very low mileage and well maintained car.

 Under highlights it shows that it has MINOR_ISSUE with the title. The issue is obviously a clerical issue as it shows that the mileage was 7000 miles three months prior to the box being inadvertently checked "exceeds mechanical limits". As stated above the car is a clean and original 19K mile car. The incorrect mileage in PA was corrected on the next vehicle record to reflect the actual mileage of 15,114 which was correct.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.
