1980 Pontiac Trans Am

I'll let the photographs speak to the cosmetic condition of this car. but I bring your attention to the most important photographs: I have used a simple kids magnet to demonstrate that the car is not full of rust or Bondo. This is not a super high powered magnet. just something any parent should recognize. It has all of it's original sheet metal. including floor and trunk pans.

One interesting thing about this particular car is the NASCAR emblems found on both the front fenders. While it is known how many Pace Car's Pontiac sold in 1980. the NASCAR option was a regional option offered at select dealers. I have included a copy of the dealer option form below. This car was sold new in North Carolina and that would make sense. that is NASCAR country. You can buy reproductions of every emblem EXCEPT the NASCAR emblems found on the front fenders. How many are out there in this condition with that option? Your guess is as good as mine. So this car came equipped new with every available option except the rear window defroster and heavy duty battery. two things a person from North Carolina wouldn't need.

Set aside for a moment that title is branded “A” for actual mileage. Forget about the fact that PHS has documented this rare bird. And even give no credit to how rare it may be to have one of the cars that have the dealer optioned NASCAR emblems. This is not a frame off restored car. There is no evidence of rot. rust. Bondo. sheet metal replacement or it having ever been in an accident. The windows are not scratched up from being wound up or down a million times. The pedals show minimal signs of wear. The interior shows little wear and I see no evidence of it having been reupholstered. The rubbers are not dry rotted. The engine bay is nothing short of award winning. The T-tops are in good shape. showing evidence of minimal wear/tear. You can no longer purchase reproductions of the NASCAR emblems found on the front fenders. The prior owner did perform a cosmetic freshening up of the car. to what extent I do not know and have no way of knowing what parts were replaced or refurbished. He told me that it was a very solid car when he began but he wanted to be able to take it to shows.

In my opinion this car well exceeds NADA's definition of “Average Retail. ” I don't think it is a #1 car. as there are imperfections. wear and tear. etc. I believe with more effort and investment it could be a #1 car.
