1989 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo 20th Ann 35000 Miles Needs Transmission Low Reserve! on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:35000
Location:

Saint-Basile-le-Grand, Quebec, Canada

Saint-Basile-le-Grand, Quebec, Canada

1989 Turbo Trans Am 20th Ann edition.  The vehicle is located in Saint Basile le grand in Quebec, Canada so if you don't have a passport of other means of crossing the border please do not bid.  The vehicle is an American car so taking it back across the border is no problem and there are no fees involved because I have a copy of the American title as well as the current Canadian title. The Canadian title is taken to the DMV just like any other title.

Car has 35000 miles on it but needs some work. The transmission is blowen and needs to be rebuilt or exchanged. The engine runs perfect and had a few performance upgrades done by Joe Buichii in Montreal including 260h cam kit, TA60 turbo, mild ported heads, adjustable boost controller, modified oil pump, Taylor 10mm wires, adjustable fuel pressure regulator and #60 injectors. 

The transmission has been built for strip/street performance with a higher stall converter but as noted it is broken. It works in first and reverse but will not shift out of first at all. The speedometer stopped working at the same time that the tranny stopped shifting.

The interior needs a bit if work, the leather is dried and cracking a bit but you could probably get away with just having the drivers bolster repaired.

The paint is also dried up and cracking and would need a repaint in the near future. The panels are all pretty straight and line up really good. The passengers side door could use a slight adjustment but that's pretty much it.

The car does need work but it is a very low mileage TTA with a perfectly clean title.

The reserve is very low and the car must go. I was going to keep it and repair it myself but I've lost interest, I've owned the car for close to 3 years.

Please feel free to email me with any questions, I have more photos and a few videos of walk arounds of the car

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
