1988 Pontiac Sunbird GTAbout This Vehicle:
***Car is for sale on ebay, $1,600 reserve.*** I bought this car on ebay for $2700. I flew from Louisville to Dallas and drove it back. It was owned by an elderly lady and it had 32,173 miles on it when I got it from a dealer who got it from an auction. Then upon testing it at the track, I happened upon my buddy Ned Southwick. He had just run a 8.06 in the 1/8 mile and took me under his wing to get mine in perfect running order.
Best of 8.83 in the 1/8th before the T-25 was swapped with the .60/.48 T-3. Blew the tranny up in the first hour and spun a rod as well. It sat for the last year until yesterday (1-9-05) when the crank and bearings were finally replaced. Body Style: Coupe Color: Red Engine: 2.0L I4 SOHC Turbo Transmission: Automatic
