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. |

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky
Sat, Jun 26 2021The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic. The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice. For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
