It's an 89 pace car yes. Wasn't looking for one it just kinda popped up. The price was cheap and I'm thinking it will be worth some money someday when I approach retirement. Meanwhile Austin will be living in his parents basement wishing he was someone else.

Would look much better with stock wheels. Some guys would put 24's on a grocery cart and think it looks good. Completely tasteless. But their rapper heroes have them so they must be cool.....
Hate the wheels and the suspension lift it has...

Thanks for the kind words guys. I know it's not really part of the thread title but I figured its still a way to introduce myself and my preference in cars. I have many cars on my route rotting away but I'm paranoid to take pics and have the owner or a nosy neighbor call in a complaint that I'm photographing stuff.

Does it have the 3.8 Buick turbo motor like the gta? Nice car either way.

Trans Am GTA's had either the 305/5speed or 350TBI/auto if I remember correctly. The pace cars had the 3.8 SFI Turbo from the Buick Grand National. Roughly 1500 were produced. Most with leather and T-tops.

What a waste of a classic car---nice job of turning it into a clown car.

Those big oversize wheels are harmful to the drivetrain. Puts stress on everything, especially the wheel bearings.

My 10th grade girlfriend's dad had one of those, just like that. I thought that was one of the coolest cars at the time. Pretty nice.

Thank you. It's a neat car and once I've converted it to e85, it should really scream. Any else on here into drag or street racing?

I was back in the 80's and early 90's . I had a '66 GTO with a Ram air IV 400 that would scream.

I wonder if Sammy Hagar is depressed that his favorite brand went extinct.

What's the rear axle under that? Is it the puny 7-5/8" R&P, or a Dana 44?
