Yeah, That is Columbia Buick. He has a lot of low mileage rare cars for sale. From what I have seen there they are in awesome shape.

Wow pretty rare cloth interior too, though a hardtop (non T-top) version would be even more.
That's might be a pretty decent price for such a low mileage, never titled/registered example, though it likely still won't sell too quickly at that price. That car in that same condition could very well be selling for twice that amount in 10-15 years.

It's worth it to the right buyer and no one here would fit that description.

Papa's Dodge in New Britain has a section where they have old musclecars/rare cars, about 2 months ago they had a white 1989 turbo t/a that looked EXACTLY like that, hell I almost wonder if it was the same car.

They were asking 23499 for it... I don't remember the mileage and whatnot, but it looked exactly like that, no joke.

The price they have on that car is retarded.. it's not worth that kind of $

They all look exactly like that, with the exception of t-tops/hardtop and leather/cloth seats.

They all came with door and windshield stickers as part of the owners kit but not installed on the car, it was up to the owner to install them except for the Indy festival and pace cars which would have had to have them on.

Anyone looking for some more resonably priced TTA's I have a pair for sale

I know they all look like that, I'm just saying the state of the car overall, and again the optional stickers vs not having them etc.

2 awesome cars man! As far as Poncho's go I always wanted a 89 TTA and a 73 super duty. I hope you find them a good home.

Regardless, the point was to look at the car. I bet if you have someone with some $$$ they would pay for it.

They are the same people who would look for a 1997 ZR1 vette with 10 miles on the clock. Its a different breed of buyer.

Considering 1 year offered, limited production, and Pontiac is out of biz, you will never see a Firebird, nor a TT T/A again. Flat out. So it's a piece of history.

Having doing tons of searching for a good GN with my Bro, even factory, low milage, basically untouched GN's had factory paint issues or normal G body issues that being low mi is not the end all to be all.

Blackscreaminmachine - Do you mean a 1996 ZR1? The 97's were the C5 style and I don't remember a ZR1 being made. I'm going to be awfully embrassed if they did and I didn't know.

pretty sure 95 is the last year c4 zr1.

My dads friend had one, very cool car, if memory serves me right brand new I think it was pushing 70k and he paid that plus markup.

Cars like that are only worth that much money to the guy who had one in 89 as a kid, sold it to support his family and is now doing better financially and would die to have one. Id give him about 5k for it.

There is a dealership by me trying to sell an 04 GTO with 45k miles for 23k. People are crazy.
