1982 Trans am 29K miles $6500 OBO
The History...
This car was purchased by the original owner back in 1982. The second owner purchased the vehicle in 1983 at about 3,000 miles. He drove the vehicle on and off for a while. He was having trouble with the Cross-Fire Injection preforming the way it should. So he had professionals take out the Cross-Fire Injection, and install a non-computerized carb system. I have the original receipts to show all the work done. This system was installed in 1985. The car was used on the weekends and special occasions until 2004 when it was De-registered and put into storage til recently. Back in 1988, another car rolled into the driver's side fender. It was not reported but it was professionally repaired. You will notice that the TRANS AM decal was never re-installed above the air vent. He was going to keep it and pass it to his kids but they were not interested in it, so that is when I purchased it. The original '82 owners manual, radio manual, and sheet about the T-top shades also included. This is not a perfect show car, however this is the best Trans am I have seen and driven in years.
Exterior...
The paint is ORIGINAL, minus the driver's fender that was repaired in 1988. The paint looks nice, but you can tell imperfections like areas wear the paint has got hard and cracked, and is not "show quality". Noted imperfections are on the front bumper, and minor nick smaller then a dime. Next the drivers door has a 8" line below the guard, and a small 6" scratch on the left rear quarter panel. The door mirrors and the spoiler are black and faded. There is no rust on this ARIZONA car, except a small dime size area by the passenger T-top seal. The front license plate frame is missing, but the brackets are on the bumper. Lights work as they should, however every once and a while the passenger headlight sticks in the up position. Comes with the Original 15" Knight rider style wheels with Dunlop P215 65 R15 tires(with lots of tread left). I have 3 original bowling ball hubcaps, I'm including a aftermarket replacement for the 4th. The caps need to be refinished and painted. The hood shocks work great and holds fine.
Interior...
This car has the original DOESKIN TAN "Knight Rider" interior. The seats are in great shape with no tears, the back covers are separating very slightly. These are the non-power seats. The carpets/ and original GM mats have stains, and the drivers foot area plastic is torn. The seat belts are in good working order. The console lid has pealed up due to the ARIZONA heat. The dash has a black cover, but is cracked as well. The gauges, and radio work perfectly (even the tape deck). The power antenna does not work, and needs to be pulled up manually. The rear cargo area is in great condition, and includes the spare, T-top bag etc. The rear hatch shocks are soft, the power trunk release works perfect. The glass was tinted back in the 80's so there are imperfections. The glass is all in nice shape except for a nick in the windshield(smaller then a dime). Power windows work, door and glass rubber should be replaced. Power locks work but are sluggish. T-tops are in nice shape, the weatherstripping is a bit hard. The driver's sun visor is missing, and also the Firebird emblem that goes on the driver's door panel is missing. Doors close like if they were new off the lot, no sagging.
Drivetrain...
This is the original 305 V8 motor noted by the Pontiac blue color. Less then 29,000 miles on the motor. The automatic trans is also original. Since the computer was removed the trans has a switch located next to the knee bolster that controls the overdrive. All the original components are there for the emissions, which is why it passes emissions. The motor runs fine, does have some oil leaking from valve covers due to sitting. The carb is a Carter brand carb. It was taken to the mechanic, they told me it works however it should be replaced with an Edelbrock carb to increase performance due to age. A/C blows cold, I recharged the system but really needs to be cleaned out new seals and recharged. The trans shifts smoothly as it should. The rear seal of the trans leaks a bit. By the pictures it looks like the previous owner upgraded to a 4-wheel disc brake system. Fluids have been changed recently. The steering works as it should real smooth. Suspension works, real smooth ride. Exhaust is original dual outlet system with the catalytic converter. This carbed system was professionally installed with the HEI ignition and was done right, and passed emissions.
Selling due to medical bills. Otherwise I would never sell this car. If interested let me know $7000 OBO. Auto check verifies vehicle history and current miles.
