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.

  • Complete Tune-up
  • Carburetor Re-built
  •  Trans Go Shift Kit
  • Transmission Cooler
  • Turbo Re-built
  • TCI 2,400 rpm Stall Speed Convertor
  • Sub Frame Connectors (welded)
  • 2 1/2 inch Down Pipe
  • 2 1/2 inch Exhaust all the way back to the chrome splitters
  • 2 Flowmaster Mufflers
  • Removed Catalytic Convertor
  • Removed all smog and cafe emissions junk that keeps these cars from breathing
  • Added an Alcohol Injection System 
  • Vac/Boost digital gauge (gauge is added to one of the a/c vents in dash)

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.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
