Vehicle Description
If you love classic T/As, it's time to pay attention. This 1980
Pontiac Firebird Trans Am has all the best stuff you want - T-tops,
the original turbocharged V8, a cool color combo, even the original
window sticker. So when a survivor-grade classic like this is up
for grabs, you know you want to be first in line.
The factory-correct Tahoe Blue has a sleek look that's perfect for
a turbo T/A. This paint is even a lacquer finish that's believed to
be largely original to the car. The level of gloss and shine it
still radiates is a testament to what kind of care this car has
received for nearly four decades. In fact, the low odometer is even
believed to reflect the car's full actual mileage. Everything looks
great on the sporty T/A package that includes the full body kit
with front air dam, wide fender flares, and the full-width rear
spoiler. You'll also love the turbo-specific details, like the
offset hood scoop. And not only is the trim in a cool-coordinating
light blue, but also no one can escape the clutches of the bold and
iconic hood bird that's front and center.
The interior shows off more of this car's well-respected style, and
that's a good thing because it's quite distinct. The Oyster White
upholstery had a premium style, and the dark blue on the center
console, dash, seat belts, and carpeting are absolutely
eye-catching. In fact, it kind of looks like if you mixed the
interior's white and blue, you'd get the exterior's color. So the
fully coordained package looks especially nice when the T-tops are
out and on display to the world. And while you'll be amazed at how
preserved everything looks, don't forget to check out all the
features like the Delco AM/FM stereo with 8-track and air
conditioning. This is a driver's classic, so you get to face iconic
components like the Trans Am's special three-spoke steering wheel
(also done in blue,) cool machined aluminum dash, and the full
gauge package with tach/clock combo.
Lift the hood for a very unique presentation. The 4.9-liter
turbocharged V8 motor was only offered for two years, and fans
instantly identify this setup with the offset air topper that makes
room for the turbocharger. On a car so well preserved thus far,
you'll be glad to know that this very correct-looking engine bay
also contains the original numbers-matching motor. More than just
historical, this is a well-maintained package that runs smoothly.
These unique T/As were a cool addition to the lineup when the big
torque of the V8 would get you off the line and the turbo offered
an extra hit of power in the mid-range. And this one makes for an
all-around fine cruise with the three-speed automatic transmission,
power steering, power brakes, front discs, sway bars front & rear,
and wide BF Goodrich T/As on classic Rally II wheels.
An amazingly preserved classic needs the right paperwork to
complete the package, and so this one comes with the window sticker
and owner's manual packet. So when that's part of one of the most
desirable Trans Ams around, you know you have to act fast to grab
something this unique and distinct. Call today!!!
