FS: 1984 Pontiac Trans Am 15th Anniversary

[Ziggy1647545504]

I have a co-worker who is facing bankruptcy, and would like to sell this car. Now, I've not seen it yet, but should be able to get pics later this week. I'm told the car is practically spotless, has been garage kept, and has only 50k original miles. She is looking for a quick cash sale, and is definately open to any reasonable offer. I'd buy this car myself, but I don't have the funds, nor the garage space at the moment. If you're interested, you can PM me or just call Donna or Frank at 513-745-9433.

 

Pics to follow by Friday.

 

For anyone interested, the 15th anniversary package was only put on 1500 84 T/A's, this one is equipped with the 305 h.o. engine, Automatic trans, Recaro interior, t-tops, and does have the original white wheels.

 

I went over and looked at the car yesterday and took pics. I will say that the car is not perfect, but is a fairly good condition original car. It is not without flaws and I will outline what I saw below:

 

The rear bumper cover and right 1/4 panel rear ground effect is broken and missing, and the right 1/4 panel needs some light body work where the ground effect goes.

The right fender has some slight body damage, it doesn't show real well in pics because of the crappy camera and the color of the car, but it is there, probably 2-3 hour repair for a body man.

The paint is somewhat faded and chalked out, it could likely be brought back with a little elbow grease, but again on the right fender, the paint has started to crack and would need to be refinished.

The front seats both show wear on the bottom cushions, the left front seat is worse with a couple of cigarette burns in the material and the typical outer bolster wear.

The car is equipped with the top of the line (for '84) sound system - AM/FM/Cassette with 5 band Equalizer. Unfortunately, the tape deck does not work, and the gain button on the dash will not stay "on".

It does have the 305 V8, and Automatic Trans with Overdrive.

For the most part, the car is an amazingly original, complete, low milage, "survivor car".

It starts quickly, with a little puff of dark smoke at first, but it quickly falls into a smooth idle and seems to run well. The owners told me that they have replaced the carb (I don't know if they bought an a/m one or a new/rebuilt q-jet) and the car does have a new aftermarket alternator.

 

After looking at the car, and talking with Donna and Frank, and letting them know what I saw, and what I felt were the car's weak points, they know the car is not in excellent condition. I would rate it in average condition based on NADA Classic definition, which according to NADA is "a 20 footer". The Average Retail Value is approximately $11,500.

 

Asking price is $6300, but they're very negotiable.

 

Now for the pics:

This is the only area of rust that I found on the car, and looks like it'll be a reasonably easy repair.

Check it out, it has the functional asymmetrical cowl hood, and all of the mechanics too!

This is the damage area on the right fender, like I said, it doesn't show in the pics real well, nor to the cracks in the paint.

If you look up toward the front of the console, this car does have the Knee pad on the left side of the console and it is in excellent condition. Also, you can see here that the car has power mirrors and windows, it also has power locks, and a power antenna that does not work (it's up, so the radio still gets decent reception).

Original t-top bag and cargo cover intact.
