THIS IS A 1980 PONTIAC TRANS AM THAT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. I WILL DO MY BEST TO GIVE A VERY ACCURATE DESCRIPTION.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW BY MY FRIENDS GRANDPARENTS IN FORT WAYNE INDIANA. THEY DROVE IT TO CALIFORNIA AND FLORIDA A LOT. THEN THE CAR SAT AFTER THE GRANDFATHER DIED. THEN IT WENT TO SOUTH BEND INDIANA WHERE IT WAS DRIVEN A FEW YEARS BY THEIR DAUGHTER. THEN THE CAR SAT INDOORS FOR A FEW MORE YEARS.

THEN MY FRIEND BOB BOREN (THEIR GRANDSON) GOT AHOLD OF IT. HE TOOK THE ORIGINAL MOTOR/TRANS OUT AND INSTALLED A BUILT 1972 454 AND A TRUBO 400 TRANS. THE ENGINE AND TRANS HAS A LOT OF UPGRADES. I CLEARLY REMEMBER BOB DRIVING THIS CAR…IT WAS VERY QUICK AND FAST. BOB WORKED AT THE LOCAL MIDAS SHOP AND SPENT ALL OF HIS TIME AND MONEY ON THIS CAR. HE WAS BUILDING IT TO BE JUST LIKE A FEATURE CAR FROM A HOT ROD MAGAZINE. BOB DIED OF CANCER AT 33 BEFORE HE COULD FINISH, AND IT SAT FOR AGAIN IN A GARAGE. THEN I WAS ASKED TO SELL IT BECAUSE THE FAMILY IS HURTING FINANCIALLY.

THE ENGINE IS A 72 CHEVY TRUCK 454 THAT WAS BALANCED AND BLUEPRINTED. BOBS DAD SAYS HE REMEMBERS THEY DECKED THE BLOCK TO INCREASE THE COMPRESSION. IT HAS DOUBLE ROLLER TIMING CHAIN, HIGH VOLUME OIL PUMP, NEW RODS AND PISTONS AND A NEW CRANK.

THE HEADS WERE PORTED AND POLISHED WITH ALL NEW PARTS BY THE LOCAL HIPO MACHINE SHOP. BOBS FRIEND TOM SAID HE IS SURE THE HEADS WERE PORT MATCHED TO THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST. BOB’S BOSS AT MIDAS SAYS THE ROCKERS ARE STAMPED 1.6 RATIO.

IT HAS AN EDELBROCK 1407 4 BARREL CARB, ALUMINUM INTAKE, MSD 6AL IGNITION SYSTEM, MSD DISTRIBUTOR, MSD BLASTER 3 COIL, MSD PRO 8.5 WIRES, HIGH VOLUME CHROME FUEL PUMP, ELECTRIC COOLING FAN, NEW HOSES WITH SLEEVES, A FLUID DAMPENER, EDELBROCK HI RISE FAKE 2 PIECE VALVE COVERS,  HEADERS AND DUAL EXHAUST THAT MAKE IT SOUND LIKE A RACE CAR. THE VALVES NEED ADJUSTED BECAUSE YOU CAN HEAR THEM CLATTER. MISSING THE ALTERNATOR AND THE STARTER IS NEW.

THE CAR IS REALLY NICE FOR 30 YEARS OLD…MOSTLY BECAUSE IT SAT INDOORS AND WASN’T DRIVEN IN SNOW. THERE IS SOME RUST, BUT NOT VERY MUCH. OTHER THAN WHAT YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES, THERE IS A RUST HOLE ON THE DRIVERS FRONT FLOOR BOARD IN THE LEFT FRONT CORNER (where the kick panel is), ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ROCKER PANEL AND ONE IN THE PASSENGER DOOR JAMB WHERE THE QUARTER PANEL FOLDS OVER. THE SMALL RUST HOLE IN THE HOOD IS A MYSTERY.  DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE IS CRACKED (as usual). OTHER THAN THAT, THE BODY HAS MINOR EXTERIOR RUST ISSUES. CONSIDERING WHAT’S OUT THERE, THE BODY IS A STRONG 8 OUT OF 10.

THE INTERIOR IS REALLY NICE. THE HEADLINER IS SWEET, ONE CRACK IN THE PADDED DASH AND THE PADDED CONSOLE LID IT STARTING TO PULL UP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE (easy fix). THE GLASS IS NICE. THE REAR PACKAGE TRAY NEEDS REPLACED. THE SEATS SIT VERY NICE AND ARE NOT TORN OR RIPPED (need light cleaning). THE DOOR PANELS ARE CLEAN, NOT RIPPED OR TORN AND THEY STILL LOOK VERY NICE. THE STEERING WHEEL IS VERY CLEAN AND THE HORN BUTTON IS BEAUTIFUL. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS ALSO VERY NICE. THE CONSOLE IS VERY, VERY NICE. THE TRUNK IS SUPER CLEAN.

POSI REAR AXLE

POWER STEERING

POWER BRAKES (all new including front/back metal lines)

THERE IS A REALLY COOL ERA CORRECT PIONEER SUPERTUNER CASSETTE THAT WORKS GREAT. ALSO, AN OLD SCHOOL EQ/AMP MOUNTED UNDER THE DASH. SPEAKERS ARE JUNK.

ALL IN ALL IT’S A REALLY SWEET 80 TRANS AM. VERY LITTLE WORK IS REQUIRED TO BRING THIS TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL. THE CAR SHOULD BE TRAILERED TO ITS NEW HOME. IF YOU ARE GOOD WITH BIG BLOCK CHEVY’S, THE WORK NEEDED IS VERY MINIMAL AND YOU COULD BE DRIVING IT IN AN HOUR. THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO PUT ANY MONEY IN IT SO IT IS BEING SOLD AS-IS AND YOU FINISH. WE LOOKED AT EBAY AND CARS THAT LOOK HALF AS GOOD ARE SELLING FOR A HIGH PRICE...GET THIS GREAT CAR FOR LESS THAN WHAT THEY ARE PAYING.
