Description
1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA – L98 • CC1 • Bright Red
A beautifully documented example of Pontiac’s late‑’80s performance flagship, this 1989 Firebird Trans Am GTA arrives with full Vintage Vehicle Services certification and a highly desirable factory specification. Finished in Bright Red (81U) over Medium Grey Luxury Cloth Ultima buckets (82D), this GTA represents one of the more uncommon Canadian‑market cars produced for 1989.
Powered by the sought‑after 5.7L L98 Tuned Port Injection V8 (235 HP) paired with the 700R4 4‑speed automatic, the GTA delivered the top‑tier drivetrain of its era — smooth, torquey, and unmistakably classic GM performance.
Factory‑equipped with gold 52P wheels, CC1 removable hatch roof panels, AQ9 reclining bucket seats, C60 air conditioning, electric windows and locks, rear electric hatch release, and B80 luxury interior trim, this example carries the premium options that defined the GTA’s reputation.
According to Vintage Vehicle Services, only 1,228 units of this model were imported for sale in Canada, with just 285 produced in this colour and 352 with this interior trim — making this configuration notably scarce.
A well‑preserved, well‑optioned GTA with proper documentation, this Firebird stands as a strong candidate for collectors seeking authenticity, rarity, and the unmistakable presence of a true late‑’80s Pontiac icon.
