'89 5.7 Brilliant Red 68k miles 3 owner In NJ !!!SOLD!!! 8 Attachment(s) I looked for months for this car and was lucky to have found it. I recently purchased a Pontiac G8 (#219 of the first 888 made) and am building a 402 stroker for it. I couldn't pass up this deal. My friend owns a hi performance shop and a customer who put a ton of money into the G8 spun a bearing and wiped out the crank so his loss is now my gain and the GTA needs a new home. I only have a ONE car climate controlled Garage lol. I wasn't going to sell my GTA as i just bought it a few months ago but i am now putting it up. T-Top '89 5.7 Brilliant red beechwood leather (recovered a month ago) with 68k original miles. i am the third owner. Car is not perfect but extremely clean and well maintained. was repainted in '03 by previous owner. There is NO RUST/ROT on this car. It has the original hood (vin sticker is there). No accidents of any kind. Has $2000 worth of chrome moly tubular Spohn suspension (control arms, wonderbar, panhard rod, Delrin bushings, etc), new Moog springs, Moog front end, radiator, injectors, fuel lines, water pump, headlight motors, power antenna, window motors, harmonic balancer, welded Spohn subframe connectors, headliner, T-Top inserts, falken tires with 95% tread, polished original wheels, original radio, original overhead console flashlight in working order, spare/jack, T-top bag, cargo cover, original RPO code sticker is in center console where it is supposed to be, ALL EMISSIONS CONTROLS PRESENT AND WORKING, plugs, wires, cap/rotor, fuel filter, air filter, PCV, vacuum lines, build sheet, Pontiac historical services paperwork, ORIGINAL OLD WINDOW STICKER (ugly back then, line printed black and white and is a square as opposed to the rectangle shape of today), battery tender, car cover and a ton of spare parts including 4 fenders, door panel grommets, shifter handles, etc etc. Car is a great driver. solid 8 out of 10 imho. I will be asking $7200/bo into the car for about $9000 so someone is going to make out like a bandit but i did on my G8 so it'll be a wash . I would've killed for this GTA when i was looking. i couldn't find it. car gets looks non stop when i'm out and about. compliments, questions, alot of attention. finding them in this condition inside, outside and underneath is rare and cost big $$$. AC blows ice cold, cruise works, car can absolutely be driven form here to florida without an issue. i have taken it on a 90 mile ride and outside of it being an '89 F body (i have all new vehicles so i'm a little spoiled lol), it road and drove terrific. Car has been garage kept since '03 by previous owner and now myself (climate controlled under a cover on a battery tender) PS, i have the lower black plastic side skirts that conceal the low exhaust pipe just haven't put them back up yet since the suspension work was completed. they're sitting in the shop along with the new backing plates for the rear brakes Attachment 369540 Attachment 369541 Attachment 369542 http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...P/DSC09397.jpg Attachment 369543 Attachment 369544 in front of my friend's shop Attachment 369545 at a show Attachment 369546 http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...P/DSC00468.jpg Attachment 369547 |

Re: '89 5.7 Brilliant Red 68k miles 3 owner In NJ Wow, incredible car. Some one is getting a really nice car. |
Re: '89 5.7 Brilliant Red 68k miles 3 owner In NJ 8 Attachment(s) Had a feeling it wouldn't take much.. Looks like she's gone. This car is one of those cars that comes along only 2 or 3 times in a lifetime. It's one of those cars that grabs any and all attention around it. I don't know if it's the Brilliant red combined with the gold trim and the style being timeless or what but today, 2nd car show in two days, it steals the spotlight from a ridiculously beautiful GN and TTA. Both of which belong to my close friends. Pics first Attachment 369265 Attachment 369266 Attachment 369267 Attachment 369268 http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...P/DSC00610.jpg Attachment 369269 So, as you can see in the pics this car is a chick magnet lol. I had three guys come track me down while i was walking around trying to find out if i wanted to sell the car. As you can see, i didn't PUT any signs in the window, nor did i mention it to anyone. My friend Joe (owner of the GN) knew I wanted to move the car and aksed me to hold it for his father who will pick it up on Wednesday. I know Joe for 25 years and his father is a great guy. i said no problem. Joe was with me when all these people kept inquiring about the status of the car. I told them "My friend right here is pretty much sure he wants it." Everyone of them gave me their name and number and begged to be contacted if the deal fell through lol. One older italian guy (Mauricio) says to me "I live right down the street i can be back here in 20 minutes with the cash" I said buddy, i appreciate your desire to own the car but my friend comes first. Yesterday i had a similar incident in seaside heights with an older lady who offered to buy the car without driving it (just like the others) for the asking price $7500 (i gave an internet discount to you guys at $7200/bo lol). My friend is costing me $1000!!! well worth it lol. I gave it to his father for $6500, which is more of a favor price considering the condition of it mechanically and cosmetically. In hindsight, i could've through it up n Ebay and probably got $8500 seeing how this car is swarmed wherever i go. My only advice to give you guys looking to get rid of your cars is this. Paint job and new upholstery. These people DON'T EVEN WANT TO DRIVE IT. It's that ridiculous. Lucky for them, i'm an honest guy and believe in Karma. This car runs and drives better than it looks. and these pics don't lie. some brunch with my friend's. You should've seen the head snapping this caused on a very busy road on staten island lol Attachment 369269 http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...P/DSC00617.jpg Attachment 369271 Attachment 369272 |
Re: '89 5.7 Brilliant Red 68k miles 3 owner In NJ Parks Police with nothing better to do than pull over a beautiful show car cruising along with it's Indy 500 pace car front plate.. Mind you he was a good 5 miles from any national park, where they patrol "hey buddy, i think the NYPD has the mean streets of midland beach, Staten Island covered" My friend is a NYPD SGT for 17yrs. how do you think that MV stop went? http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...P/DSC00613.jpg Anyway, the new order is as follows if for some reason Wednesday falls through (unlikely but not impossible). 1. Joe's father ($6500) 2. Old lady from seaside car show ($7500) 2. Pat (SI car show guy #1) ($7500) 3. Mauricio (SI car show guy #2) ($7500) 4. Guy who's named i forgot but have his number lol from same show ($7500) 5. Guy from this board from Indy area ($7200) 6. anyone else who wants a spot PM me lol. one of the other cars that were there (10 sec Dart, absolutely gorgeous) http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...P/DSC00601.jpg http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f5...P/DSC00600.jpg I didn't start taking pics of our cars till after 12:30 or so, mostly all other 150-200 cars cleared out.Every sunday they gather at Gateway national park on Hylan Blvd from about 8am-12pm. great time. |
