If I wasn't laid up for a few months from back surgery, I'd go buy this now

I dont know where you'd find a head for one of those but i might be willing to give it a shot if i was closer..

those arnt interference motors, are they?

that's really tempting. Damn you GRM forum!

Those things were too quick for their own good. The later ones with the 3.1 really scooted too, esp. with a 5-speed.

Here's one for sale near Mosport in Ontario. Newer model, shiny paint, convertible top and running for $1200.

That could be fun. The paint should buff right out.

gm 1.8 t? I'm lost.

Yes - 1.8 Turbo. Could be had in a 2dr or 4dr, including base model. Manual or auto trans. Aluminum wheels and WS6 suspension was included with the turbo option. 1986-1990 for production years. The 1.8 became a 2.0 - but I'm not sure in what year. I have an old Pontiac article also stating the FBI bought some of the Sunbird base model turbo coupes (in addition to Turbo Buicks). The car wasn't pushed hard by dealers-most were afraid of turbos at that time

also had a 2.0 turbo Grandam at one point... bet it's a torquey beast :)

A friend of mine worked at a Pontiac dealership back in 1988. They had a contest for the salesmen that awarded them prizes for selling certain cars. He sold a Grand Am and won a golf umbrella.

Then he sold a Grand Am Turbo and he won a golf trip to Scotland.

I am not making this up.

Grand Am Turbo? Wow, I haven't seen, or even thought of one of those in years. Looked great, but those motors just didn't last. 2 year production maybe?
