Cincy Classic Cars is proud to offer this 1981 Factory 4 Speed
Trans AM which is a low factory production TA being only 1 of 3225
4 Speed T-Top TA's made in 1981. This TA is in excellent
overall stock condition with low actual miles of 76,664. This
Trans Am features a beautiful repaint in factory Dark Maroon with
new decals, a beautiful mostly original interior, and the original
numbers matching 305 engine, see vin stamp on engine block photo
below. This Trans Am has no visible rust on body or
underneath and is very solid with great lines. It was rust
proofed when new by "Rusty Jones," see supporting photo below from
door jamb. This Trans Am is finished in the beautiful and
desirable color combinations of Dark Maroon Metallic (code 77) over
Medium Doeskin (code 64R) vinyl interior. This is the factory
color scheme as verified on the trim tag pictured below and
included Factory Build Sheet. Very importantly the original
engine is still in the car with low miles. The low actual
miles is not only verified by the excellent overall condition of
the car but also by the Ohio Title pictured below stating the miles
as "Actual." Also the Original Factory Build Sheet was found
behind the rear seat during cleaning and comes with the car.
This was tucked in the rear seat on the Assembly line after
the car was built and completely verifies the authenticity of this
Fantastic TA and its rare configuration. Up until a few
months ago this TA had spent its entire life in Altoona PA, the
town it was originally sold in.
Exterior
The Dark Maroon exterior is in beautiful restored condition.
This Trans Am was treated to a professional repaint in
factory Dark Maroon with all new decals. The paint is in great
condition and shines very well with no signs of visible rust and
both bumpers are in great shape with no flaking, faded paint, or
spider webbing. The decals look new and are in excellent
shape. There may be some minor imperfections that are not
noticeable in the photos, but nothing was intentionally excluded
from the photos. The tires have nice tread left and are sized
225/70/15 and the Rally Wheels are OEM originals and are in good
shape. These are the correct wheels that came on the car as
indicated on the Build Sheet. Trunk is very solid and clean
with the original space saver spare tire and jack, with a correct
felt trunk mat.
Interior
The Medium Doeskin vinyl interior of this Trans Am is mostly
original and in great shape. The seat covers are in excellent
condition with no noticeable wear, rips, stains or seam splits.
The carpet is original and still looks very good for its age.
The original dash is in excellent condition with no cracks or
faing and the dash bezel is in great condition as well. The
original 8 track AM/FM stereo is still in the car today and works
well, but there is some static in the volume knob intermittently.
This is the correct stereo as indicated on the included Build
Sheet. Thankfully the dash has never been cut for a modern
stereo. The door panels are original as well and are still in
great shape and both door pulls are solid and in tact. The
headliner and package tray are also original and both in very good
shape. All interior lights and gauges work as they should
outside of the clock. The horn, stereo, wipers and rear
defrost also work. All glass on this TA is Original "LOF"
factory glass, which is an great indication that this TA was never
in a major accident as glass is usually damaged in an accident.
This car has not been smoked in; there is no aroma what so
ever.
Mechanical
This Trans Am is in excellent mechanical condition with only 76,664
actual miles on the original 305 engine. Not only is the
"Actual" mileage verified by the overall great condition of this TA
but also by the Ohio title pictured bellow stating the mileage as
"Actual." The transmission appears to be original as well as
several of the vin characters match the photo below of the
transmission vin stamp, but its still a little difficult to read.
We have driven this car numerous times and it always performs
very well, does not run hot, rides tight, and is always a joy to
drive. In the video one can observe this car running and
driving with no excessive rattles or noises, and the car handles
and performs very well. This Trans Am is an exceptional
driver that feels great on the road and at highway speeds.
There is no smoke when starting or driving the car. It
starts right away every time, idles well, and runs excellent.
This TA runs out very well and is really quick With the
factory 3.42 rear gears and 4 speed Transmission. The brakes
do not pull and stop as they should. True dual exhaust was
recently installed on this TA and it has a nice rumble at idle and
cruising speeds and no noticeable drone. A new radiator was
just installed this week and keeps this TA running cool.
Coolant was flushed and oil and filter were changed this week
as well. Tune up was also performed recently, new cap and
rotor, spark plugs and wires. The upper radiator hose is
still in place with factory tower clamps. Also, the
Original engine is very clean and nicely detailed as one can
see from the photos. This is a factory NON AC car which
really cleans up the engine bay and has the looks of old school
muscle.
