Title: 1989 TURBO Trans AM 39k original miles on EBAY
Post by: Bullet on May 14, 2008, 12:04:07 PM
1989 Turbo Trans Am, Indy pace car. Car #545 of 1555 made. Car is in excellent condition and has 38,900 original miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!
I want it, but damn, I've seen LS1's with the same miles go for less.....I'd still rather have this though  :icon_wink:

here's the link, these Turbo Firebird/Trans AM's pop up on Ebay from time to time, the last one sold for I believe $9k with 69-70k original miles and no T-Top's

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220230636422&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=012

the owner is a bit harsh with the reserve still not met at $19,000
but obviously he's in love with it....I know I would be...lol

That would make more sense.  I knew about the turbo 3.8's.

yeah thats a 3.8.  From what I understand, it is nearly the same engine that would be found in the GN's, possibly the GNX?  Either way those cars are nice, I don't like F-bodies much at all, seen a few that caught my eye, but these TTA's are different to me.  I would rock one if I had the cash.

  I've been following them myself and just like the GN, I can never find one in my price range

yup, the guy doesn't know what he has.
I wish I could afford to take it off his hands but I'm already buying another turbo car ;-)
