Chuck's '89 Turbo Trans Am

[@jonathanjones1814]

This the GNX are 2 of my favorite cars, That Turbo 3.8 was such a beast 🔥🔥🔥

[@JT-sl3ui]

Any of the turbo Buicks were awesome! Whether it's a Grand National, GNX, turbo-t, a t-type or the '89 turbo TA. That single turbo 3.8 litre 231 cubic inch V6 is absolutely legendary!

[@swatbwana]

I had one It took to mods wonderfully , hypertech I believe was the chip a downtube, modified exhaust and waste gate .

[@stkrrauch1]

i love that year trans ams /i had an iroc from 87

[@clangdon1436]

I passed on one in the mid 90s for 8 grand . Bought an 88 5.0 lx hatch for 6500 instead . Boy do I regret that . Car only had 24000 km , yes Canadian .

[@justinsanders2705]

Absolutely love this car! The GTAs are awesome but the 89 turbos are something special.

[@HotRodDave]

My buddy had one in the mid 90s. Fun car

Awesome car! Always a good time with y'all. Bring on NPK!

[@GreyontheBeach]

Awesome ride. Pull up on my bone stock GNX. I’d like to see that race.

[@p1315]

I was at the 1989 GN Nationals at Englishtown. A local Pontiac dealer brought 2 brand new Turbo TAs on a trailer and let 'em loose. Both ran 13.3s - 13.4s at 103 and change MPH.

[@brianpeacock9444]

Love that black GNX! SINISTER

[@brianpeacock9444]

I have a 1987 CORVETTE Z51 rodded n modded with AFR 195cc 64cc heads, TPiS mini ram, DUI dizzy, shorty headers into true duels and I promise I smoke you by 2 links thru the 1/4

[@ntrain2k]

Holy shit! Chuck with hair!

[@deegan727]

Sweet car and sweet deal, even though it’s not flawless it could have sold for a lot more. I also agree the lexan t tops are special and add character. I wish more cars had T tops and it was still a thing. I had an 87 Firebird with T tops around 2001 and always cruised with them off.

[@Joe.G]

Hell yeah Chuck that's a badass car. When I was 16 I bought a 1988 firebird that had a v-6 and I pulled the V6 out and put a built 350 in it. I loved that car and all my buddies in high school were really jealous of it 😂. You have a lot of badass cars Chuck. Keep kicking ass ✌🏼

[@ChuckSeitsingerRacing]

Lol- sounds like a badass ride

@@ChuckSeitsingerRacing Chuck rad ride! I have my car from high school car. A black on gray 92 firebird formula 5.7 with GTA wheels. It’s got 49k on it and I’m the second owner. The 1st owner checked every option box including the slp perf pack. It added 60 hp and only 25 cars came with it. It came with 3’ headers, 3’ exhaust, chip, cold air intake and intake runners. My car also has the lexon t-tops.

Car is looking bad ass chuck. Best of luck with it.

[@DjDubStak]

Classic coolness.

[@justinandnickybrock7463]

I had a TA back in the day that would do the same, not start back immediately after a drive. If I remember correctly, changing the coil solved the problem. But dont hold me to it. Nice ride.

[@Good_ol_Butch]

Mine end up being the ignition module...

[@Joe.G]

The one I had would do that and it wouldn't start because the starter would get to hot because they were so close to the headers I put a heat shield around the starter and never had that problem again. 👍🏻

[@ronsolis8182]

Good buy, and you’re right hard to find 👍❤️

[@alextheoldore3545]

[@thomasfelts2857]

The 80's and 90's are the best for factory street cars I think, miss those days. My first car in 93 was a 10th anniversary trans am with 36,000 mile 4spd car. Miss it to.

[@bobbysmith8120]

Nice ride buddy and thanks for sharing with us 👍 from Alabama 🇺🇸👍

[@shadhord9502]

Welcome to the club, I own # 466 in Amarillo, Tx. I have an aftermarket stereo and used the SWI-RC from PAC audio to hook up the steering wheel controls. Turbo Tweak is something you should check out with these cars too.

[@xanvavy]

Trans Am are gems💎 sending love from Puerto Rico brother. I love this cars. My mom had an 86 two tone gray with the red strip between the tones. I planning to own one soon. God Bless!

[@JamesGracie-yl5xb]

That's a beautiful, white turbo Trans Am, I would love to buy one just like that in automatic with t-tops and a turbo engine just like yours. I would love to buy your car sir if the price is right.

I live in a small town. I used to drive by this tiny tiny motel. One of these sat outside for at least 7 years. I finally asked who owned the car, want to sell? Guy inherited motel and car. Didn't know what he had. Thought was "just" a GTA. Car gone couple days later!!😢

[@johnhallock2713]

I know this came from Shawn but be4 that was it in utah.? Ive done flooring for a transmission guy in utah and he had one in his shop and he told me it's very special but it's been yrs ago... did all of the turbo ta have "official pace car" on them.? But ya the one the guy had was extremely & I mean extremely immaculate & completely stock as well but I assumed the special aspect came from it being a pace car and I don't follow Nascar so I didn't pay much mind too it tbh but now I wish I had really scoped it out cause now I know these things are badass no doubt... lol Sorry I thought it came from Shawn my bad... lol

[@awfulcoffelsonecargarage8215]

I know what you mean about driving one they make you feel like you're driving in a real hot rod I have an 87 Firebird that I love cruising Backroads on because they hug Corners real nice but nice find sounds like the price of 3rd gen Firebirds Are Climbing I know I've had mine repainted and totally redone and I got over 20,000 into it so you got a pretty nice deal there almost thought about cloning my Firebird cuz I have the whole surround and everything off in 88 GTA it was a red one with the gold medallions I decided to keep the firebird alone you don't see too many of them on the road well drive safe later bye

Those Ta's are a mixed breed Pontiac and Buick. The real turbo Trans-Am is 80,81 Pontiac 301 turbo TA. They got a bad rap because nobody could tune them. Plagued with bad gas at the time. Nowadays the ones that are still running. Some have pumped out as much as five hundred foot pounds of torque. And broke the 13 second bracket. Thell soon be in the low 12sec.
