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

The third-generation Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA represented the pinnacle of Pontiac performance during the late 1980s, combining aggressive styling, V8 power, and grand touring comfort into one unmistakable package. This 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA shows 141,377 miles and is finished in Gunmetal Gray Metallic over a Medium Gray interior. As the top-tier Firebird model of its era, the GTA received exclusive styling cues, upgraded suspension components, four-wheel disc brakes, and performance-oriented drivetrain equipment that distinguished it from lesser Firebird variants. With its iconic wedge-shaped design, pop-up headlights, and T-top roof panels, this GTA embodies the spirit of late-1980s American performance while offering a driving experience that remains engaging today.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA is finished in Gunmetal Gray Metallic, a fitting color for the car’s sleek and aerodynamic bodywork. Distinctive GTA badging, integrated ground effects, and a factory rear spoiler help establish an aggressive presence, while the signature pop-up headlights remain one of the most recognizable styling elements of the third-generation F-body platform. Removable glass T-top roof panels allow occupants to enjoy open-air motoring while retaining the structural feel of a coupe. Gold mesh GTA wheels provide a striking contrast against the exterior finish and reinforce the car’s period-correct appearance. Combined with Pontiac’s performance-oriented styling, the result is a vehicle that continues to turn heads more than three decades after it left the factory. The interior of this 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA features a Medium Gray cabin designed with both driver engagement and long-distance comfort in mind. Deeply bolstered bucket seats provide support during spirited driving, while the wraparound dashboard places key controls within easy reach of the driver. The GTA’s cockpit-inspired layout, combined with power accessories and air conditioning, reflects Pontiac’s goal of creating a true grand touring machine. Rear seating offers additional practicality, and the removable T-top panels allow occupants to enjoy an open-air driving experience from within the well-appointed cabin. The interior successfully blends 1980s performance-car character with everyday usability.

Engine

Powering this 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA is a 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 equipped with a 4-barrel carburetor and paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential and performance rear axle ratio, providing strong acceleration and confident traction. The GTA Performance Package and WS6 Performance Suspension enhance handling characteristics, while power four-wheel disc brakes provide capable stopping power. Under the hood, the engine has been upgraded with an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and open-element air cleaner, giving the car a more traditional muscle-car personality and a distinctive induction sound. Together, these features create a classic American V8 driving experience that perfectly complements the Trans Am GTA’s reputation as Pontiac’s flagship performance model.

The 1955 Woodill Wildfire occupies a unique place in American automotive history as the nation’s first production fiberglass sports car, predating many of the specialty fiberglass cars that followed. Created by California entrepreneur Blanchard Woodill, the Wildfire combined lightweight construction with sleek styling and was even featured in several Hollywood films during the 1950s. Today, fewer than 25 examples are believed to survive, making the Wildfire one of the rarest American sports cars in existence. Showing just 408 miles, this professionally build example has been transformed with a Corvette C1/C2 drivetrain, a powerful 396ci big block V8, and numerous performance and cosmetic upgrades. A multiple award-winning build, it also includes a professional car show display sign and a fitted car cover for its next caretaker.
