For Sale: 1990 Pontiac Sunbird in Lutz, Florida

This 1990 Pontiac Sunbird Convertible represents the kind of car we don't get to see too often anymore. And more than just uniqueness, this is a loaded turbocharged machine with a terrifically preserved presentation. So it's great to get all of this together in a value-priced package.


There's a nice gloss on this convertible that makes this drop-top look ready for the sunshine. This red is the factory-correct color, Torch Red! In fact, the whole car has a well-preserved survivor style. That's because this was under the same owner's care from new right up until 2020. Although exempt on the title, it is believed that the odometer reflects the actual mileage based on the autocheck history report (averaging about 2,400 miles annually.) So while this one has had a few fun road trips in its lifetime, it certainly shows much better than those that were daily drivers. This is an upmarket LE trim, and so it loves to show off its premium look in details like the white convertible top and matching white pinstriping. It's also a turbo model, and the sporty style comes through in places like the rear spoiler, black trim strip that circles the mid-section, and Pontiac's unique 14-inch alloys.


The interior is well-preserved, and because this was at the top end of the Sunbird hierarchy, it comes loaded with the best features. The high-back bucket seats are all-day comfortable, and the plush velour is always going to be appreciated over vinyl on those days when you hop in with shorts on. There's a grippy sports steering wheel on a tilt column, and beyond that is a full set of readouts - including tach w/boost gauge. It has nice factory features like cruise control, power locks, and the premium AM/FM stereo with separate cassette. Power windows and a power convertible top mean you never have to leave the driver's seat when you want to open this one up to the world. And the factory air conditioning has been converted to cold-blowing R134a. So you can enjoy the top-down experience even in the summertime.


The engine bay looks as correct and preserved as the rest of the car. So it makes for a great way to showcase the bold red accenting on the 2.0-liter turbocharged motor. It gives this Sunbird a touch of the sporty side you want in a Pontiac. But more than just turbo power, you'll like this for its all-around practicality. It's a fuel-injected machine that fires up easily, and the three-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The turbo motor has a nice home in a car like this with the Sunbird's light weight and nimble driving. And power steering, power brakes w/front discs, and a rear sway bar are great for all-around driving enjoyment.


Complete with owner's manual, this is a preserved and premium convertible that is going to be a unique addition to any scene. So if you love to be different and have the best features, call today!
