So we evicted the stepchild today...

[WMCC Gary]

Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long before another addition to the family could be found...from California via Albany, New York...

And, Gary, you were real, real close...

It's a third gen...it's white...but it ain't a Camaro...lol...

1989 Turbo Trans Am
PHS documented #11 built of 1555
#55 Indy Festival Car at the track
Cloth interior

Ain't perfect...needs a bit of work here and there, but I guess they all do...

Nice Find Jeff. You won't regret it.

Jeff, that is the correct wheel placement. The front wheels have more of a dish or lip to them.....I believe this was done to avoid having the tire rub the strut....seems kinda backwards I know, but that is the way they came from the factory.

Thats Correct. The fronts will fit on the back, but the back WON'T fit the front. I have seen guys run 4 front wheels. Might be something to consider.

[85TA_Chick]

Congrats.......thats a really nice car

[MattODoom]

Nice, that vette was sweet.. my favorite body style there but the TTA is by far the best thirdgen and will be valuable and fun for you.

Lots of guys run 4 "front" GTA wheels so they have the deeper dish on all 4's and can rotate tires. As is now you CANT rotate front to back and with directional tread like mine.. can't rotate at all.

Needless to say, sweet car! I love TTA's and im jealous.

[JoeliusZ28]

i think that was a good move

[WMCC RONNIE]

Nice lookin car Jeff! You sure like those white pace cars!

Ahh...y'know....not really.

I hate white....

But I am a sucker for history...

And most of the history is white...so I'll guess I'll have to adapt...lol...

That is a heck of a car! Are you going to educate everyone on how special and unique that TTA is?

Ahhhm...I'll give ya what PHS has sent and what I know right now.

Previous owner submitted the car to PHS and received a personally typed and signed letter back from them stating it was the #11 Pace Car made.

#55 Festival Car at the track...the cars were delivered to the track and randomly assigned numbers that did not correlate to the build number...still has the "55" written in black Sharpie on the rear fascia under the license plate.

First car to pace Indy with zero modifications other than adding strobe lights.

Capable of mid 5 second 0-60 times and 150 mph top speed from the factory.

I believe it was the last production car that had more hp than the same year Corvette (245 vs 240) and was quicker than a Corvette.

MSRP of TTAs with T-tops is a shade over $31,100 with cloth...throw in another $900 for leather.

1550 total Pace Cars made, along with 5 prototypes...1555 total.

1 of 187 total with cloth interior and T-tops.

Pace Cars were initially offered for sale to GM employees, so the general public didn't get a crack at many of them.
