Description

This stunning 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, Limited Edition Pace Car stands as a rare surviving example of late‑80s American performance engineering, built during a brief moment when innovation and attitude aligned perfectly.

Marked #858 of 1500 built, this exceptional special edition sports coupe comes factory‑equipped with the 3.8L turbocharged V6, a heavy‑duty automatic transmission, and the coveted G80 limited‑slip differential, it represents one of the most desirable mechanical combinations of its era. The WS6 performance suspension and aerodynamic enhancements—rear spoiler, front air dam, and white‑on‑tan finish—give it the unmistakable stance of a true factory‑bred performer.

Inside, the car retains its original character with high‑bolstered sport seats, tan leather interior trim, power conveniences, and a premium sound system that reflects its top‑tier build. The removable glass T‑tops add an iconic touch, transforming every drive into a period‑correct experience. What elevates this example beyond the ordinary is the rarity of its option set: a genuine turbocharged, WS6‑equipped, Y84 appearance‑package car that has survived with its identity intact.

For collectors who value authenticity, provenance, and the unmistakable personality of a performance icon, this is a standout piece from a legendary chapter in automotive history.
