 Up for sale is a very rare, 1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am, Anniversary Indy Pace Car.

Car has been completely restored (suspension, brakes, exhaust, engine, transmission, interior, weather-stripping, etc.). Everything has been replaced or rebuilt to factory specifications or better. Certain things were upgraded just because it made sense to do it during restoration due to technology being better today than it was in 89. THIS IS NOT built to be a race car or drag car. This build was for a performance daily driver.

Suspension & Brakes - All suspension and steering components were replaced with new parts (struts, link, tie rods, arms, bushings, ball joints, etc. ) Modifications to this area include slotted and cross drilled rotors, Red powder coated factory calipers, adjustable strut mounts for better alignment. The engine cradle was dropped out of the bottom of the car when engine and trans were rebuilt, and the cradle was powder coated. Most parts were blasted and powder coated during this process. On a scale from 1-10 (10 being perfect), I rate this section as a 9.5 - just because nothing is perfect.

Engine & Transmission - Engine was rebuilt with forged parts, new bearings & file to fit rings (built and balanced by professional), everything checked and replaced as needed. New sensors, relays, switches, etc. Valve covers and intake were powder coated to factory colors and look awesome. Modifications to this area include billet wheel turbo, ceramic coated exhaust manifolds and turbo pipes, billet roller cam and lifters with matching valve springs, adjustable boost control (factory stuff was horrible), billet servo in tranny, and 255 lph fuel pump in tank. I rate this area a 9.5 as well just because there is always improvement areas here.

Body - New seals, polished paint, new emblems and weather-stripping, new hatch release, lights actually work (up and down positions), new tank and sending unit. Modifications to this area include a replacement fiberglass spoiler (factory ones were horrible). I rate this as a 9 just because there are some little imperfections here and there as you can expect from a driver.

Interior - Factory leather trim installed, new headliner, new top seals, hatch seals, new carpet, newly leather wrapped steering wheel, shift knob and e-brake handle. Modifications to this area include a leather wrapped dash pad (I hate those plastic ones), dynomat sound deadener installed throughout the car (doors, floors, etc.), carbon fiber dipped panels here and there (the factory patterns were worn and could not find replacements and this looks really nice). I rate this area a 8.5 only because the factory stereo with controls in steering wheel is not functioning (haven't even looked at why), seat belts are factory and a little faded. I do have the Door and Window Decals new in the box, just never installed them.

Overall, car is a solid 9.25 on a 1-10 scale and is in VERY good condition. As stated, this is a rare car - 1 of only 1555 produced. It is an Anniversary TA and Indy Pace Car with same drivetrain as the popular Grand National (different heads). I have many parts for this car collected during restoration that will go with the car as well. Fully documented restoration and clear texas title. Car has less than 200 miles on it since restoration.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
