Cincy Classic Cars is proud to offer this fantastic survivor 1981 Trans Am which is in superb overall condition with very low actual miles of 19,108. This car drives like new as only a very low mile car can. This TA has only had one true owner and was owned by the same family from new until 2021 when a local dealer purchased the car. I bought the car from that dealer in 5/2025. Dealers don't typically count as owners so this TA is really a one family owned car. The original 301 engine remains in the car and the vin on the engine block is numbers matching. This TA features beautiful original Red paint, an original mint black vinyl interior, the original 301 engine, and numerous original dealer documents and brochures and the original build sheet. This TA is very solid with great lines and gaps. There is no rust or rust repairs and no bubbling or cracked paint. The underside is extremely solid with no rust or corrosion issues and no patches or repairs. This TA was heavily undercoated when new on the underside and elsewhere to prevent rust which has really done its job. This TA is finished in the desirable color combinations of Red over Black interior. This is the factory color scheme as verified on the trim tag and build sheet pictured above. The clean car fax shows the miles as actual as does the current car title. This low mile TA is as close to a new 1981 TA as one can find with its fantastic original paint and mint original interior. One owner from new until 2021 with build sheet and numerous dealer docs and brochures.
Exterior
The Red exterior is in fantastic original stock condition. This TA has excellent original paint. The believed to be original paint is in terrific overall condition for its age with no signs of visible rust anywhere on the body or underneath and both bumpers are in great shape. The decals look like new as does the trim and hardware. There is no bubbling paint anywhere on the body of this car. There may be some minor imperfections that are not noticeable in the photos, but nothing was intentionally excluded from the photos. The original 1981 date coded tires are in great shape for their age the 15" OEM rally wheels are in excellent original condition. All weather stripping and window sweeps are in great original condition. Trunk is very solid and clean with the original trunk mat, original jack, and the original space saver spare tire. Original decal is still present in the trunk and the trunk light still works. The underside of this TA is exceptionally solid with no rust issues or concerns and no patches or repairs and was undercoated when new to prevent rust.
Interior
The black vinyl interior of this TA is in terrific original stock condition. The original seat covers are in spectacular condition with no noticeable wear or fading or seam splits. These are factory original covers not some cheap aftermarket covers. The carpet is in great condition with no stains, rips, or holes. The original dash is in like new condition with no cracks or warping or fading. The engine turned dash bezel is like new as well and correct and looks beautiful in the car. The Audiovox 8 track player was installed way back when and sounds great and thankfully the dash was not cut on for a modern stereo. The 8 track player still works and sounds good. The original door panels are in excellent condition and both door pulls are solid and in tact. The headliner was professionally replaced and is in like new condition with the correct material. The package tray is original and in excellent condition. All interior and exterior lights and gauges work as they should including the cigarette lighter and clock. The horn, all gauges, stereo, wipers, rear defrost, and blower motor all work. This car has not been smoked in; there is no aroma what so ever. This fantastic low mile TA actually still smells new inside the car.
Mechanical
This TA is in great mechanical condition and the original 301 engine is still in the car with matching vin number, see photo. This engine runs well and the car performs nicely. This TA drives well with plenty of power and the handling is very good. The exhaust appears to be original and still in very nice shape and has a mild stock tone. There is no smoke when starting or driving the car. It starts right away every time and runs well. The brakes do not pull and stop as they should. Also, the engine is very clean and completely stock and correct as far as I can see. Very unmolested with numerous original hoses and clamps and vacuum lines and decals and tags and factory markings. Only original survivor stock cars can show like this TA and they are only original and in this high level of condition once. True time capsule which should do nothing but appreciate over time. There are several factory tags and markings on the underside, see photos in gallery.
