If you know Archie, you pretty much know he has more Turbo cars than anyone in NY. If you don't know of Archie, you should. Especially if you love Turbo Buicks or Turbo Trans Ams. We wanted to feature Archie's 1989 Tubro Trans Am first, for the simple fact that, well, when do you really see them anymore? But let's not forget, Archie does own a real deal GNX, a Grand National and a rare white 1986 T-Type with a tan/saddle interior that he went all the way to Texas to get. Think he likes 80's powered Turbo's? That's putting it lightly.
The 89' Turbo Trans Am was Pontiac's answer to their 20th Anniversary of the Trans Am. It really is one of the rarest Turbo cars next to the Buick's. The Trans Am came with the Turbo Buick 3.8 Liter SFI intercooled engine. The Anniversary TA did come from factory with the Anniversary sticker decal kit, which you could put on if you wanted or leave off. Archie opted to put the decals on his TA. Archie's TA is a T-Top car, leather interior, full gauge packages (something the GN never came with.) It also has a steering wheel controlled Bose stereo system. Pontiac only made 1,555 of these Turbo Trans Ams. Archie's TA is car number 688.
Archie made a few modifications to his TA including a Cold Air Package, a 3 inch Downpipe, TA49 Turbo, 36lb Injectors and Hi-Performance 255 LPH Fuel Pump. And like all his toys, Archie made sure he put HID's on his TA. As for future modifications, Archie says maybe an exhaust system, different tune or a few other things.
Archie loves all of his rides, he drives them year round. Anywhere, anytime, anyplace you'll see him in one of his cars. His knowledge of these cars is great as is his love for them. He is one of the original EMC Members and a very respected one at that. And if you ever want a Turbo Buick or Trans Am, watch Archie's collection like a hawk and hope he puts one of his up for sale, you'll want to buy one of them for sure!!!!
