1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Gta on 2040-cars
Franklinville, New Jersey, United States
|
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.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, 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.
Driving Notes
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
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.
