Overview of 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA For Sale by Owner

Pontiac’s Firebird was well-known for many reasons. It starred as the hero car in Smokey and the Bandit during its second generation. When it entered the third generation in 1982, the Firebird gained new levels of fame as Knight Rider’s KITT, as well as his evil twin KARR. But did you know that the Firebird has always been the sister car of the Camaro? The answer to Ford’s Mustang, GM introduced the Firebird and Camaro in 1967 to fight in the pony car space. Firebirds were made across four generations until 2002. Today, we’ve got a nice third-generation 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA for sale in West Columbia, Texas. Yes, it’s the ‘Knight Rider’ model, albeit it isn’t black and doesn’t sport a sweeping red scanner bar. However, it is a high performance variant which was really sought after in its heyday. Today, this 159,164-mile car makes for a great practical classic that you can drive and display alike.

Exterior and Interior

This 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA wears a white suit and sports gold alloy wheels. These 16-inch flat-mesh diamond spoke wheels were a GTA exclusive. Then, we’ve got those pop-up headlamps which are in their own right, a great reason to buy this car. Of course, there’s GTA badging too, informing everyone that this is a performance variant, if the rear spoiler and overall sporty stance doesn’t do the trick. You’ve also got removable T-tops so that you can enjoy an open-air experience at will. The interior of this 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA features shades of gray and seats up to four adults. It’s really well equipped for this era. The most notable feature has got to be the multifunction steering wheel with its prominent buttons for controlling the radio unit that sits in the center console. The unit itself is impressive as well, a Delco one with a cassette tape player and even a five-band graphic equalizer with good old sliders! Above it lies the control panel for the car’s climate control system which includes air conditioning. Yes, this is quite a high-specification car for its time, and even now, it’s got pretty much everything you’d want. There’s also an ample area for cargo beneath the large glass liftback.

Engine

Packing a 350ci V8 with tuned port injection, this 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA reintroduced some of the mojo that was lost from cars during the Malaise Era. Paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, it’s a pleasing car to cruise along in. However, with the special WS6 Performance Suspension Package, this car can also deliver some driving thrills at a race track.
