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.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
