A 1989 Pontiac Trans Am 20th Anniversary Pace Car, one of 1,555 produced, is being offered for sale at $52,900, highlighting a milestone model in the history of the Pontiac Firebird.
Built to commemorate the Firebird’s 20th anniversary, the limited-production model is finished in white with Camel leather upholstery and features distinctive anniversary badging inside and out. Indy pace car insignia and model-specific emblems set it apart from standard Trans Am models of the era, underscoring its special-edition status.
Under the hood, the car is powered by a turbocharged 3.8-liter V6 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The combination reflects the performance focus of the anniversary edition, which was developed to stand out both on the street and as a commemorative vehicle. An upgraded turbocharger has been installed, along with a Borla exhaust system featuring electric cutouts designed to amplify the car’s sound profile.
The exterior is further distinguished by gold diamond-spoke aluminum wheels, fog lamps and the Aero Package, which includes revised front and rear fascias and side skirts. Polished stainless steel exhaust outlets add to the car’s visual presence. A T-top roof provides open-air driving capability, complementing the leather-trimmed interior.
With approximately 29,000 miles on the odometer, the vehicle is described as a well-preserved survivor. It retains its original paint, interior and underbody, and is accompanied by extensive documentation. The selling dealer characterizes the car as a potential long-term collectible, citing its low production numbers, condition and historical significance within the Firebird lineup.
The dealership is offering a travel expense guarantee, pledging to reimburse a portion of a buyer’s travel costs if the vehicle’s condition has been materially misrepresented. The offer reflects the seller’s confidence in the car’s presentation and documentation.
As it stands, the anniversary Trans Am presents buyers with a choice: drive and enjoy it, display it at shows, or preserve it as a collectible example of late-1980s American performance heritage.
