I looked long and hard to find this GTA. Its a very rare 5 speed car. Pontiac only made a little over 300 5 speed firebirds in total for 1989. There is no record of how many were GTA 5 speeds. It's black with beachwood tan interior and T-Tops. Originally a 5.0 305ci 5 speed car with 3:45 heavy duty 9 bolt rear. Its has the oil cooler and the N10 dual converter option. The 5.0 305 was tired so it was the perfect time for a 5.7 350 l98 motor swap.  It was pro rebuilt and bored 30 over to 355. It was properly converted with new GM 350 tpi prom, new 350 tpi 22lb injectors, all sensors were replaced along with complete tune up. Runs awesome with plenty of power. Has a new clutch, starter, and waterpump at time of motor replacement. Just over 2k miles on motor. New GR2 shocks and struts. New brakes. The wheels were sent to Keystone to be restored. They are beautifully polished with correct gold paint, and clear coated. Tires are new BFG g force sports with just 2k miles 245/50 up front and 255/50 in back. There are a few minor dings, and there are no accidents. Paint is 2.5 years old and looks great. Id give it a 7 out of 10 its not a 10k paint job, but very nice.. The rear hatch pull down motor assembly was rebuilt with all new motor and parts. The headlight motors are rebuilt. Head lights are upgrade to silver star including the fog lights. The interior is very nice for being 25 plus years old. There are no tears in the seats. The dash is not cracked. The headliner is the only thing that needs to be replaced. To be really nice I would do carpet, headliner, sail panel/speaker covers. The steering wheels is needs to be recovered, but it has a nice cover on it. The original stereo is gone. There is a Alpine head unit and I recently replaced the back speakers with pioneer 6x9s. I have the front maching pioneer 4x6 speekers that will go with the car. The power antena stays up due to the alpine head unit. I think.

I have some things that go with the car. New door seals, outer window seals, new GTA side emblems, new upgrade steering shaft. If I find more stuf Ill add it later.

I did have BMR subframe connectors installed and a front end wonder bar. This is a must for a third gen and it made a big difference. Also there is a magnaflow stainless catback exhaust that sounds very nice and deep. Its awesome with the 5 speed.

The original owner died and the car was sold at his estate sale to the guy I bought from. He never titled the car. I bought the car from him and went to register it in nj and they wouldnt except the title and signed executor of estate papers.  So he had to register the car and then give me the new title. So Im the third owner of the car. Im only saying this so you know the history of owners. There is nothing wrong with the title its clean and clear. Your welcome to check the Vin.

This is a really nice car that you can take your time restoring while still being able to drive and enjoy. Please ask any questions.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
