Here is your chance to own a really rare GTA. If you are a collector and know anything about the GTA's than you know that this may be the rarest GTA that pontiac has ever made. This the first year that the GTA was produced. This GTA has all matching numbers and it has no bondo and has no rust at all. This car could be one of the best looking unrestored GTA's out there. A little history on this car. When this car was made you could not get this car factory with the 350 and t-tops in the united states. and yes if you do the vin decoder on this car you will see that its did come factory with the 350 and T-tops. The digital dash is another rare feature that came factory with this car and not many GTA's had the digital dash and pontiac only put them in some in 87 and 88. If you take a close look at the factory spoked wheels you will also notice that 87 was the only year that they used that style of spoked rim. Pontiac changed the style of the rim and was used up till 1992. Also if you notice the factory t-tops also open up as sunroofs too that was another rare feature that pontiac only used on a select few GTA's. It also has 4 whhel disc brakes. and has the 9 bolt limited slip rearend. It also has the eletric pull down hatch and the push button release for the hatch on the dash panel. The factory radio is the one that has the graphic eq. All the acessories are all in working condition as well as the power antena.
The car has an aftermarket cold air intake and has a aftermarket radio but i do have the factory radio and factory cold air intake that will come with the car. the factory radio does work fine. I did take and replace the factory speakers with memphis speakers for the front and back. The tires on the car have atleast 75% tread in them. I did replace the factory exhaust with a 3 inch stainless bora exhaust and makes the car sound beautiful . The engine is in great running shape. has always been well taken care of and has alot of power. The care has all options that you could get from the factory and that includes pw,pl,pm, lumbar seats a folding up rear view mirror. rear defogers, air conditioning. WS6 high performance suspension package. has all new brakes and rotors all the way around. I have also put all new plugs and wires as well as new distributior cap and rotor.
There is some cosmestics on the interior that would need to have done to make this a prastine condition vehicle. There is a ding on the hood also from where a rock had hit it. In the one pic i have added where the engine cradle is u will c that it may look to someone that there may be a oil leak. i just want to let everyone know thats not the case at all. that is just from changing the oil over the years.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask and i thank you for looking.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General 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.
