Rarity and exclusivity are just two of the adjectives used to describe this spectacular 1989 Pontiac Firebird Turbo
Trans-Am 20th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car. Pontiac only made this model in 1989 specifically to pace the 73rd
Indy 500. Total production numbered 1,555 units and GM kept 5 of them and sold 1,550 to the public. This is #1,221
of the 1,555 ever made. This example is highly original with only the battery and tires being replaced.
I bought this car 7 months ago with 1,968 miles and it currently has 2,100 original miles on the dot, not a typo. I
am the 2nd owner and it has been kept as a collector car since new. I am only selling because I don't drive it due
to the extremely low mileage and I'm downsizing my collection. I only put 132 miles on in 7 months and that was to
and from car shows only. It is 100% fully documented with the original owners kit, original window sticker,
original door decals (the current ones are replicas to prevent using the originals), original books, manuals, and
keys, as well as the original promotional material and comes with an original Indy 500 program that has about 4 or
5 pages about the car in it. Also, it has full PHS documentation as verified by Jim Mattison of Pontiac Historical
Services (PHS). Has a free and clear title in my name with no lien.
Under the hood it is all original aside from the battery. The hi-po 231ci turbocharged V6 engine from the Buick
Grand National with the original Garrett intercooler and turbo is mated to the original Turbo-Hydramatic 200-4R
four-speed automatic transmission. The car also features the WS6 performance suspension consisting of independent
front suspension with MacPherson struts, coil springs and anti-roll bar, live rear axle with trailing links and
torque arm, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes from the 1LE, and 16"x8" Aluminum wheels.
The interior is a time warp. It is in as new condition as an original 25 year old car can be. Everything is there
and excellent original condition including the t-top bag and sun shade. Everything works except the power antenna
but you can manually raise it and the reception is very clear, this is the only thing not working properly on this
car. All of the glass is original PPG and all the body panels have the VIN stickers such as the one pictured.
As equipped, the new Trans-Am redefined the term "high performance" with 13-second quarter-mile times and top
speeds exceeding 150 mph. It was the first unmodified car to pace the Indianapolis 500. Originally priced at $9,000
over the cost of the 5.7-liter GTA and with just 1,554 other examples produced, this 20th Anniversary Indy Pace-Car
Trans-Am remains one of the rarest Pontiac's ever assembled which has become a highly sought after limited and
exclusive collectible.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine 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.
