VIN-matching motor with original components, showcasing an engine
compartment that remains largely original. Minor maintenance items

hoses, and installing a new alternator and battery. The shaker air
cleaner assembly is complete with all its ductwork, and all vacuum
lines are still connected. Original stickers remain on the master
cylinder and brake lines.EXTERIOR: The Atlantis Blue exterior is a
rare and beautiful color, believed to be the original paint that
still shows remarkably well. The bumpers and spoilers fit
seamlessly, and the optional hood bird remains in like-new
condition. The shaker scoop is untouched, and the optional side
moldings and metal door edge guards have preserved the car's
pristine appearance. The 15x8 snowflake aluminum wheels are in good
condition, complemented by recently replaced radial tires. The
glass T-tops are in good shape and come with optional locks. The
door jambs are pristine , featuring an oil change sticker from
1990, and the window seals and weather strips are in good
condition. The original dealer Schaefer Pontiac emblem is still

instrument panel sparkles with clean lenses and gauges, including a
working clock. The tilt formula steering wheel shows no signs of
wear, and even the area around the ignition is unscratched. The
center console is in good condition, free from wear, breaks, or
cigarette burns. The upholstery is in good condition, and the
plastic trim is pristine. The headliner is nice, and all interior
lights function properly. The light-colored carpet remains in great
shape, with a unique carpet square found under the seat from an
assembly worker. The door panels are in good condition, with the
chrome piping intact. An aftermarket AM/FM radio was installed in
1980 without cutting the dash, and the original receipt is
included. Additional options include a rear defroster, delay

glove box pouch contains all the books and manuals.TRUNK

the air bottle, likely never removed from the car. It features a
black felt mat with an optional insulation pad underneath. The

light and power release are functional. The paint under the trunk

condition.UNDERSIDE: The underside of this Trans Am is
