Produced at GMs Norwood, Ohio assembly plant and delivered to Barnett Pontiac in Dearborn, Michigan, this meticulously maintained 1980 Trans Am Turbo Pace Car is one of the cleanest second generation F-bodies we've ever offered. Thanks to three decades of loving owners and a little bit of good luck, its original body panels present extremely well and still carry that highly desirable showroom fresh fit and finish. Under this Trans Ams "Turbo" stamped hood you'll find an all original Pontiac code YL turbocharged 301 V8 that made substantially more twist than the mighty 6.6 liter it replaced while being significantly more efficient. Originally conceived as an economy offering, the Pontiac 301 was beefed up with a Garrett TBO-305 turbocharger to create a waste limited 9 PSI of boost, 236 horsepower and a serious 345 lb./ft. of torque. Underneath this Trans Am, a clean 31 year old undercarriage tells the story of excellent caretaking with great looking floor pans that are as solid as when they left the factory and a correctly tagged Safe-T-Trac rear end that still maintains its factory 3.08 gears. Behind the motor, the cars original tough and proven Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed automatic transmission sends power to an original 10 bolt rear axle, and a standard WS6 handling package. Power flows to the pavement through ORIGINAL 225/70 white letter Goodyear Polysteel radials that are mounted to exclusive 15 inch 'turbo' style body matched aluminum wheels which feature slick machined edges and pristine plastic center caps. Inside this Trans Am, a fully equipped Oyster interior features optional doeskin vinyl with hobnail cloth inserts which create a sophisticated appearance that builds on 1980s increasing list of luxury options. With its clean turbocharged motor, fantastic interior and low original miles, this has to be one of the nicest Trans Am Turbo Pace Cars available anywhere.
