25th Anniversary Daytona TA - 151 Miles

Way on the pricey side. But what can you expect from a dealer that can not spell RECARO? Not to mention the Anti-Lock Brakes on a '83. What is it with people asking skyhigh prices for cars, yet don't have any or only show one picture?

Price - $21,888
Mileage - 151
Exterior Color - White with Black Trim
Body Style - Hatchback
Doors - Two Door
Engine - 8 Cylinder Gasoline

That is crazy high....

But in defense of the dealer, it's most likely the people at Auto Trader spelling it wrong. The dealer most likely told them what to put in...that and Auto Traders are usually only good for one pic per car, even on a dealer page.

My friend got an 82 Z-28 Pacer for free (for fixing some ladies minivan) with every option and 50,000 mi. He, being the smart person he is, gave it to his brother because he wanted to work on his 75 Beetle instead. The car wasn't close to mint, but if he put $2-3000 in body work into it, the car would have been worth $7000 or so according to prices in the Chicago area. The kid is crazy, but his Beetle is kinda cool, he put 79 TA Anniversary wheels on it, they are seriously like a foot wide. Still an 82 Pace car what is wrong with him?

Antilock Brakes? .......................Thirdgens had antilock brakes? I've never seen, or heard of a factory anti-lock brake system for thirdgens.

Is that a typo, misprint, or whatever?

No. This is the '83 25th Anniversary Daytona Edition Trans Am to mark the 25th year anniversary of racing at Daytona.

'84 has the 15th Anniversary Edition Trans Am for the 15th anniversary of the Trans Am.

No they didn't. They confuse 4-wheel disc with ABS. Probably because on today's cars, they both come together. A case of Automotive Alzheimers. They know what happens today, but can't remember yesterday.

Yes it is a typo, misprint, or whatever

I stand corrected. I didn't realize that.
