For Sale: 1980 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am Indy 500 Pace Car – 29,000 Original Miles
Offered for sale is a stunning and highly original 1980 Pontiac Firebird Turbo Trans Am, the official Indianapolis 500 Pace Car replica. This is a genuine, unmolested time capsule that presents exactly as it did over four decades ago.
The Details:
· Mileage: An astoundingly low 29,000 original miles.
· Condition: 100% original and unrestored. The paint and interior are both described as impeccable.
· Mechanical: The turbocharged 301 cubic-inch (4.9L) V8 runs and drives perfectly, just as it should. It retains its original factory performance and driving characteristics.
· History: This is a survivor example that has been preserved rather than restored, maintaining its pure, factory-original status.
Why This Car is Special:
This is not just another used car; it is a collectible piece of Pontiac history. As the official Pace Car for the 1980 Indy 500, it features the unique graphics, Turbo Rally wheels, and the famous "screaming chicken" hood decal. The 301 Turbo, with its factory boost gauge mounted on the hood, was Pontiac's bold answer to the changing emissions regulations of the era and is a key part of the car's identity.
Finding an un-restored, low-mileage example of any classic is rare. Finding one that is described as "impeccable" and runs "perfectly" is an opportunity for the discerning collector who demands authenticity.
Price: $68,000 (or any reasonable offer considered).
This car is being sold by a knowledgeable owner who has preserved it as the cherished piece it is. It is ready to be driven, shown, or simply admired in a private collection. Serious inquiries only, please.
