The Indy 500 race choose the 1980 Turbo Trans Am to pace the race
in 1980. This was the first year that the same car paced both the
Indy 500 and the Daytona 500. Pontiac made 5,700 of these cars to
replicate the car used to pace The Indianapolis 500. The 1980 Y85
Turbo Pace Car Trans Ams were similar to the 1979 10th Anniversary
Trans Am in the paint scheme. The Pace Car had white lower body
paint with charcoal upper body paint offset by a tri-color body
accent stripes. The decals used were now the larger 5-color turbo
hood bird and "Turbo 4.9" on the bulge on the hood designed to
accommodate the turbo-charger and 3-light system for the
turbo-boost. The interior was a custom Oyster vinyl seats with
hobnail inserts and the bird was embroidered on the center of the
rear seats and on the door panels. The rest of the interior was an
Oyster white with charcoal grey dash and center console. A Special
ETR AM/FM Cassette with seek-and-scan features, a digital display,
and red dash lights rounded out the interior. The Indy 500 emblem
was located on the side fenders and the rear tail spoilers. The
optional "Indy 500 Pace Car" door decals or the "22nd Annual
Daytona 500 Mile Race" door decals were an extra option. We Sell
