1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo

Description

If you love classic T/As, it's time to pay attention. This 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am has all the best stuff you want - T-tops, the original turbocharged V8, a cool color combo, even the original window sticker. So when a survivor-grade classic like this is up for grabs, you know you want to be first in line.

The factory-correct Tahoe Blue has a sleek look that's perfect for a turbo T/A. This paint is even a lacquer finish that's believed to be largely original to the car. The level of gloss and shine it still radiates is a testament to what kind of care this car has received for nearly four decades. In fact, the low odometer is even believed to reflect the car's full actual mileage. Everything looks great on the sporty T/A package that includes the full body kit with front air dam, wide fender flares, and the full-width rear spoiler. You'll also love the turbo-specific details, like the offset hood scoop. And not only is the trim in a cool-coordinating light blue, but also no one can escape the clutches of the bold and iconic hood bird that's front and center.

The interior shows off more of this car's well-respected style, and that's a good thing because it's quite distinct. The Oyster White upholstery had a premium style, and the dark blue on the center console, dash, seat belts, and carpeting are absolutely eye-catching. In fact, it kind of looks like if you mixed the interior's white and blue, you'd get the exterior's color. So the fully coordained package looks especially nice when the T-tops are out and on display to the world. And while you'll be amazed at how preserved everything looks, don't forget to check out all the features like the Delco AM/FM stereo with 8-track and air conditioning. This is a driver's classic, so you get to face iconic components like the Trans Am's special three-spoke steering wheel (also done in blue,) cool machined aluminum dash, and the full gauge package with tach/clock combo.

Lift the hood for a very unique presentation. The 4.9-liter turbocharged V8 motor was only offered for two years, and fans instantly identify this setup with the offset air topper that makes room for the turbocharger. On a car so well preserved thus far, you'll be glad to know that this very correct-looking engine bay also contains the original numbers-matching motor. More than just historical, this is a well-maintained package that runs smoothly. These unique T/As were a cool addition to the lineup when the big torque of the V8 would get you off the line and the turbo offered an extra hit of power in the mid-range. And this one makes for an all-around fine cruise with the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, front discs, sway bars front & rear, and wide BF Goodrich T/As on classic Rally II wheels.

An amazingly preserved classic needs the right paperwork to complete the package, and so this one comes with the window sticker and owner's manual packet. So when that's part of one of the most desirable Trans Ams around, you know you have to act fast to grab something this unique and distinct. Call today!!!
