1980 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am Indy Pace Car Edition on 2040-cars
Saint Charles, Missouri, United States
|
Up for sale is my very nice 56,000 low mileage 1980 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am Indy Pace Car Edition. Only 5,700 of these beauties were built new and today less than 2,000 remain. Of those far fewer remain in the type of condition this one is in. Making it even that much more collectible. If you’re familiar with these Pace Cars, you know their value continues to climb and will do so for years to come. Arguably the most attractive Trans Am every built. This is a numbers matching Pace Car and is PHS documented. Well preserved, and is a real eye-catcher! It never fails to get the thumbs up and draws attention where ever it goes. It has been garage stored, started monthly to keep systems charged and lubricated. It is fully optioned, with Fisher t-tops and covers, A/C, power windows, door locks, tilt, cruise, rear defrost, delay wipers and much more. I had installed an Alpine stereo with Infinity speakers, Alpine Amplifier and an Alpine 10 inch subwoofer in the trunk (I still have factory am/fm cassette stereo). All three turbo lights work on the hood scoop. Engine runs very strong with the turbo spooling great, delivering a jet like boost and transmission shifts solid. Mechanically this Pace Car will not disappoint. The exterior and interior are in very nice condition for a 34 year old car. No cracks on the dash, seat fabric is not all wore out like many out there. There is some sun fading to the rear panels. The a/c compressor is locked up. I have original build sheet. The improvements I had professionally performed to the car, were done by the best in the business in my area.
All these improvements are how Pontiac would have wanted this car to be. It has made for definite improvements that has created an outstanding running Pace Car. It has not been torn apart and molested like many have done. You will see, that doing it the right way and making subtle changes, these often misunderstood cars can really deliver in performance. The handling this Pace Car delivers with its WS6 suspension is also very impressive. It improved even more once the sub frame connectors were added. It corners amazing with great braking ability. It still has original space saver tire with jack (never used). Tires are like new. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I know you'd really like this Pace Car and would definitely enjoy it. It's not perfect, this is a 34 year old car. This Pace Car will definitely get a lot of attention. Look at the pictures and see for yourself. It's NICE!!!! I am pricing it well below NADA's recommended pricing, so you will be getting a deal. This car is being sold as-is. No warranty is expressed or implied. I've tried to explain it to the best of my ability. It's your responsibility to verify the condition and description before you purchase. All Sales are final. |

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
