1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am on 2040-cars
West Jordan, Utah, United States
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.
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.

On Jun-15-14 at 16:34:32 PDT, seller added the following information: 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. |

Junkyard Gem: 2002 Pontiac Aztek
Sat, Apr 17 2021The General's Pontiac Division sold the Aztek for the 2001 through 2005 model years, and — despite enjoying something of a cultural rebirth in recent years — it is generally considered to be one of the worst cars of all time. The idea of using a minivan platform as the basis for a rough-and-tough-looking crossover with plenty of outdoor-lifestyle amenities wasn't the problem, since many vehicle manufacturers have printed bales of money using that formula. What doomed the Aztek was its hideous appearance and sticker price too lofty for its underemployed-at-the-time Generation X target demographic. Still, the Aztek proved to be perfectly suited for the outdoor activities that Coloradans love: hiking, camping, fishing, skiing, hauling mud-caked golden retrievers around, etc., and so you'll still find lots of Azteks on the roads of the Centennial State. Here's an Aztek Yellow Aztek (yes, that's really the paint color's official title) residing just a few rows from a '76 Checker Taxicab in a Denver self-service yard. Sure, it does look like a vehicle built to the specifications of a six-year-old who decreed a mashup between a Datsun F-10 and a Fisher-Price Little People Travel Together Airplane, but so what? There's a built-in air compressor to blow up your inflatable rafts and volleyballs, a tent attachment that turns the rear of the van into a camper, 12-volt power plugs all over the vehicle (years before this became commonplace on ordinary minivans and SUVs), and running-gear commonality with a jillion Ventures, Silhouettes, Montanas and Trans Sports. Buick managed to de-uglify the Aztek (somewhat) and sold it as the Rendezvous through 2007, but the Aztek never could win over many people with this face. I see plenty of Azteks and Rendezvouses in Denver-area wrecking yards, and I've documented a handful over the years. This one came fully loaded from the factory, with the Corvette-style heads-up display in full effect. The center console was a removable cooler, which was a great idea Â… except for the fact that this cooler holds five standard 12-ounce cans. Michigan residents tell me that this must have been intentional on the part of the Detroit-based Aztek designers, because Michiganders are expected to chug one beer out of a sixer as they walk from the liquor store to the car in the parking lot Â… which makes me extra cautious whenever I'm driving in the Wolverine State.
Motorweek looks back at the Pontiac Aztek
Thu, Jul 9 2015The Pontiac Aztek has earned a position as this generation's ultimate, automotive punchline. Even other execrable models like the Yugo or Mustang II probably get more respect these days just out of their sheer quirkiness, but the Aztek remains a joke. Fortify your mind for what's coming, though, because the much-maligned Pontiac might not be quite so atrocious, at least according to MotorWeek's latest Retro Review video. MotorWeek calls the Aztek, "GM's first true crossover vehicle," and it's amazing to think of the hated model as a progenitor of one of the most popular segments today. While admitting that the looks are polarizing, John Davis and company actually come away pleased with the Aztek's utility. They praise that there's a ton of room in the back, and the interior is packed with useful features like a removable cooler in the center console and radio controls in a cargo area. The show is even impressed with how the Pontiac drives and throws around accolades like "nimble" and "pleasant." After seeing the Aztek leading the pack on lists of the worst vehicles of all time for years, listening to it get such effusive praise is actually quite jarring. Could we all be so wrong? No, there's absolutely no debate that this is still a hideous automobile. However, MotorWeek asserts a complete reversal of the generally perceived wisdom about the early CUV. While unexpected, thinking about such an abhorred model in a different way is a cool experience. Check out the video for a different take on the Aztek.
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
