1989 Pontiac too new for here
Hello! I just got my dad’s 1989 Pontiac Turbo ASC McLaren with only 7,034 miles. I am currently changing out fuel tank, injectors, pump and filter to see if it will start. Last fill up was 1996 ans last time driven was 2001. I am searching for Pontiac history to see details of this car. I was told it was a pace car at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Maybe in movie if Days of Thunder? Don’t see any with sunroof in movie but they only show a few sense with the pace car. If I shouldn’t be here because of age of car I understand. Thank you!

There is a thirdgen section here, but not many post there. Best would be to go to www.thirdgen.org that is dedicated website to your era car.

Assuming it's one of these...
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/19...nd-prix-turbo/ When I was in high school, my friend's parents had one. They're cool cars. Not too many around then, fewer around now. I think I may have even had a model kit of one. I'm not sure what parts availability is for W-bodies of that vintage. You'd need a paper trail to support the movie and pace car claims. Best of luck with it and post some pics!

You can try here:
https://www.w-body.com/forum/10-general/ Always liked those cars. From what I remember, a pretty decent car, I'd buy one with that low mileage. Pontiac caught a lot of grief back then for the grooved moldings and such. A few years later they introduced the DOHC (Twin Dual Cam) V6.

Thank you. Here are some pictures of the car. The one image is a close up of the holes on the console by the shifter. They told my dad it was from the radio at the speedway? Who knows but he is the only registered owner and he purchased it with 3800 miles.

It sure does. This thing is absolutely loaded. The window sticker was $26,095 for back in 1989. It's crazy!

My dad (longtime Pontiac and other GM brands salesman) had one as his company demonstrator, back in the day.
Going back even further, he had the first Pontiac Trans Am (Lucerne Blue, RA 400, 4spd) to ever hit my hometown as his demonstrator back in the fall of 1969. |
