Like-New 1989 Chevy Beretta GTU Sells For $26K

The Chevy Beretta is an often forgotten compact coupe that was manufactured from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s. Offered as a sporty alternative to the more mundane sedans of that time period, a 1989 Beretta GTU in like-new condition recently sold on Bring a Trailer for $26,000.

Currently located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, this Chevy Beretta GTU features the FE7 suspension package, which includes Z51 suspension components, ground effects, a rear spoiler, and 16-inch alloy wheels. With only 19,000 miles on the clock, this vehicle has spent a majority of its life in Iowa before the selling dealership acquired it in February 2023.

As a GTU variant, this Beretta was available with the aforementioned FE7 suspension package, which helped to distinguish this trim level from other trims in the lineup. On the exterior, this meant ground effects and graphics, as well as additional visual pieces like the Beretta-branded windshield banner and fog lights.

Moving to the interior, this unit features front bucket seats and a rear bench, both of which are finished in grey cloth upholstery with darker piping and striped inserts. Additional features include a two-spoke steering wheel, Delco cassette stereo, cruise control, and power windows and door locks.

In regard to powertrain, the Beretta GTU was offered with the 2.8L V6 LB6 gasoline engine. Rated at 130 horsepower and 160 pound-feet of torque, output was routed to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle transmission.

The selling dealer included the original window sticker that this 1989 Beretta was sold with. According to said window sticker, this Beretta posted a retail price of $12,657. With a recent sale of $26,000, this represents more than a 100 percent increase from the original asking price, not accounting for inflation. You can check out the Bring a Trailer ad here.
