1980 Trans Am Pace Car for sale with test drive, driving sounds, and walk through video 

I currently own one of these, currently restoring it and repainting it. A beautiful car.

I'll buy it !!! Love it, miss both my old birds.

My friend had brand new one in1982 , It had Reacaro seat NASCAR edition it ran 14.80 quarter mile, the motor makes 345' torque at 2000 rpms, was fastest car I rode in the 80s💪👍

The W72 400 4 spd will woop the shit out of this dog 301.

Awesome car...I have one and think they're the best looking vintage american muscle car ever made, IMHO.

Very nice car but the NASCAR decal on the front fender is actually for the 1981 NASCAR edition TTA, not the 1980 Indy Pace Car TTA. In that spot should be the Indianapolis Motor Speedway decal. Looks like someone mixed and matched the decal set. Very nice car regardless.

I absolutely loved watching this video filmed. Believe it or not but I just got my hands on a 1980 Indy 500 Pace Car Trans Am from this man who didnt really know what he had in his backyard until I ran the cowl tag under the hood on drivers side and the Vin number made my day when you said that it keeps up with a 6.6L I have this same car (minus decals) and my brother has a 1977 6.6L trans am

I HAVE THE SAME IDENTICAL CAR....THERE WERE ONLY 5700 MADE IN 1980. THERE ARE CURRENTLY LESS THAN 3000 REGISTERED IN THE U.S. GREAT TA.

i was there 80 indy the party the night before was literally a riot cops with dogs riot gear beating people,,firework m 100s blowing off... drunk driving sitting in lawn chairs on top of there RV's going down the road... lots of them it was insane and i was drinking too,,, people campout where ever with a tent on all the peoples front lawns .. definitely a great memory.. the race was great too i touched the winning car after the race i think it was johnny rutherford winner....****

Would love to see another video of a 80-81 turbo TA if you guys get anymore in your inventory. A Bandit S.E. turbo is my dream car!

These cars can be EASILY modified to stomp a stock W72. Cooler thermostat, remove CatConverter, remove EGR, run Sunoco 93 and that 336lb/ft of torque starts to rise quickly. Actually, these cars are very respectable when running 93 octane fuel. One has to remember these cars were released in the later part of 79, and we had crap for gas in this country. The knock sensor on this car overrode any attempts at performance based upon timing as it retarded (literally) the timing at the mere hint of detonation. When running good gas the knock sensor is basically rendered inactive which greatly improved performance. These are only a few very easy fixes that make this car haul, other things such as different gear ratio, higher stall converter, larger turbo, better downpipe can all be fiddled with. At the end of the day these will never be 7000rpm turbo motors, but with a few tweaks these cars can be made very respectable.

Wow, just checked out their site on the internet. Right above their website was listed another site concerning them. It listed several complaints from people being ripped off. IF you buy from these people, sounds like you better go there and see the car for yourself, first. Apparently, cars being shipped sometimes are nothing like the video.

Back in 1994 I was just out of HS and running a 1972 LeMans with a 350. I stopped by the GM dealer to replace a sensor that I had no idea what it was. (Thermal vac tree) I broke.. Anyhow in the lobby was a 1980 white T/A Turbo with 7,XXX miles on it, I got in the driver seat and just felt at home. When I was a kid my parents had a 1975 T/A , Black with the 400 in it. We also had a 67 Bonneville Convertible with a 389 tripower in that fantastic "Frigidaire" white.

You should probably check paint thickness in the lower fenders and doors etc.

Some idiot put a NASCAR sticker on the drivers side fender the Indy wing should be there. Otherwise this car looks pretty nice. And yes this car looks like an 1980 Indy car. Daytona cars were white and black color theme.

@JPCrowder Im doing exactly the same, got the coolest car in town let alone my school...

the inside is all complete, it has its originl tapestry, it need to be redone of course but its all complete

Nice job filming this car. Amateurs take notes. We see "so many" videos of cars, showing every external angle known to man, but none of the eng., or sometimes even the interior. Good job.

Is this still available?

The early 80's Tran-Am and Firebird were severely under-powered. I owned a 80 Firebird Esprit. The car was very sexy but had a 231 ci V6. I loved the car but it was heavy and performance was less then ideal climbing hills near Santa Cruz and when taking it to Lake Tahoe. This pace car looks excellent and I can understand if a collector is looking for a rare car that is 30 years old.

see the interior of these car, in the video, has exactly the same one

i have one like these car in tijuana mexico, if someone is interested on it its for sale, in need to be restored of course

man in my country there is trans am has only 500 KM but it has been parked in open area, how much do u think it worth?

how is the inside?

Kinda cool? More like TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL! the best car to ditch class in....

Hey man, do you think the turbo 4.9 is a big difference power wise than a 6.6?

"as fast as a 6.6 liter engine" ??? Noooooope "these respond to modifications really nicely" ... Only if the modification is putting a 6.6 liter in it :)

Boost Gauge? More like idiot lights!!!!!!! At 3 psi boost all 3 lights come on, that was a joke. Only a true boost gauge will give you an idea of what's going on.

nice looking car, too bad the turbos were junk
