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

Few American performance cars capture the spirit of the late 1980s quite like the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA. Introduced as the top-tier performance model in the Firebird lineup, the GTA paired aggressive styling with V8 power and a long list of luxury features, creating one of the most capable F-bodies of its era. This 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA takes that formula even further with a host of carefully selected performance upgrades that transform it into an even more formidable street machine. Showing 141,377 miles, it benefits from a Moser Engineering 12-bolt rear axle, Hooker ceramic-coated headers, a Flowmaster American Thunder exhaust, Wilwood rear disc brakes, and upgraded suspension components, while retaining the comfort and character that made the GTA a flagship Pontiac from the factory.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA is finished in Gunmetal Gray Metallic, a fitting color for the Firebird's sleek, aerodynamic body lines. Factory removable GM glass T-Tops provide the best of both worlds, allowing occupants to enjoy open-air driving without sacrificing the coupe's signature silhouette. Riding on 16-inch factory cast aluminum diamond-spoke wheels wrapped in Firestone Firehawk performance tires, the car maintains its unmistakable GTA appearance while benefiting from upgraded braking hardware that includes drilled and slotted front rotors and Wilwood rear disc brakes. The interior of this 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA blends factory styling with thoughtful enhancements. The custom original-style leather interior preserves the GTA's upscale atmosphere, while Dynamat sound insulation helps create a quieter, more refined cabin. Factory amenities include air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, power mirrors, a tilt steering wheel, rear window defogger, and the original-style Delco AM/FM stereo, making this classic F-body as enjoyable for long-distance cruising as it is for weekend drives.

Engine

Under the hood is a 5.7L naturally aspirated V8 upgraded with Holley electronic fuel injection for improved drivability and reliability. Performance enhancements include ceramic-coated Hooker headers feeding a ceramic-coated exhaust system with a Flowmaster American Thunder muffler, giving the V8 the unmistakable sound enthusiasts expect from a Pontiac muscle car. Power is delivered through a 4-speed automatic transmission to a robust Moser Engineering 12-bolt rear axle, while a performance suspension with welded Southside Machine frame connectors helps improve chassis rigidity and handling. The result is a Trans Am GTA that delivers stronger performance, sharper road manners, and the unmistakable character of a properly upgraded third-generation F-body.
