Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Orlando is proud to present this absolutely
gorgeous 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you're a Trans Am
enthusiast, the 1989 Turbo Trans Am pace car really is the one to
own, this is "20th Anniversary Turbo Indianapolis 500 Pace Car
edition #841 of only 1,555 built" It's still the
fastest-accelerating T/A ever built, just a little over 90k
original miles, is one of the cleanest examples available. This
might be the most subtle GM pace car ever, but what it lacked in
graphics it more than made up for in horsepower. The
third-generation F-bodies were pretty good-looking cars,
particularly the Trans Am, and all the unique styling aspects are
extremely well-preserved given the tendency for the plastic trim to
crack. The paint is as good as you could expect on the showroom
floor, thanks to a lifetime as a cherished collector's item, and
this is one of the few that proudly wears its original pace car
decals. Functional vents on the hood and a subtle TURBO badge on
the front fenders are your only tip-off that this is a special car.
The deeply bolstered buckets are still incredibly comfortable even
after 25 years and were just re-covered. The interior and T-tops
were the only options, so things like power windows and locks, A/C,
cruise control, and a powerful AM/FM/cassette stereo were all
standard. The trunk is like new and outfitted with original bags
for the T-tops, because this car has every available option. The
real reason these cars are special is under the hood: Buick's
stunning 3.8-liter turbocharged V6. Pontiac rated it at 250
horsepower to keep from stepping on Corvette's toes, but the GM
factory dyno rang up 301 horsepower on a pretty consistent basis.
And as insanely easy as the turbo engine is to modify, this one
remains completely stock and nicely preserved. She will really get
up and go. A 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission and 1LE brake
and WS6 handling package make this a formidable car even when the
roads start to twist, neatly remedying the Buick GNs lone Achilles
heel. You want a fast F-body, they don't come much better than this
and the turbo V6 engine offers almost unlimited potential. This one
is completely stock and incredibly original, right down to the gold
mesh-style alloy wheels. The owner has had a lot of work done to
this car such as new shocks, subframe connectors, new carpet
throughout the car, new sound deadener (dynamat), new correct AC
compressor and R134A conversion, 4 wheel alignment, new Delco radio
with mp3 player, new fiberglass rear wing spoiler, power antenna
replaced, new hood liner, new headlight motors, new motor mounts,
new transmission, new torque converter, new spark plugs wires, new
rear hatch motor, new leather steering wheel, shifter, E-break
handle new fuel pump, exhaust, fuel injectors and so much more.
