1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am on 2040-cars

1989 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am

One of 1500 made. Indy Pace Car Limited Edition. 19K original miles. Car Fax certified low mileage collector car. 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 with certified 19K miles.

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.

• Terry Houston 3" Down pipe. Very rare and almost impossible to find for the TTA now.
• New TE63 Turbo. Just installed and have not had it out yet. I have the stock turbo.
• 009 injectors
• Eric Thumb Wheel chip. The only one he made for the 009 injectors.
• Alcohol injection, Premium Alcohol Control Kit,
• Upgraded Walbro 255 lph fuel pump in tank
• Vince Janis Built 200R4 transmission. The best trans built for these cars.The Janis Transmission has the billet parts in it and cost about $2500 for the upgraded trans. Expensive, but a bulletproof transmission for this car.
• PTC 3000 Stall Converter. Top of the line converter.
• The PTC Non-lock 9.5" Converter was also very expensive ($900)  and it was spec'd by Dusty Bradford. It is the best converter for the Turbo Buick and it works great in this car as it is very streetable. 
  These upgrades to the drive train make the car very reliable and drive and shift quality are excellent.
• Festival lights, Indy Pace car flashers in the rear with a special strobe box to control the front lights.
• Auxillary boost gauge along with EGT in exhaust to ensure 100% engine safety.
• GN Big Neck Intercooler. I removed the factory GNX Intercooler to preserve it. I still have it and will include all of the original parts including plug wires with the car.
  

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.
