Rare 1985 Pontiac TRANS AM 60k ORIGINAL MILES, 5 Speed Manual trans. T-Tops
1985 Pontiac Trans Am 2 door hatch Description
Up for auction is a very nice and rare 1985 Trans Am. This was a special order car. The owner had the 5 speed transmission added along with the T-tops.The car was sitting in the garage for 20 years. It had boxes piled on it and they scratched the paint. The car looks good but some of the clear coat is coming off on the driver, rear side as seen in the photos.
The oil and other fluids have been changed. I drove the car down town to get it detailed, motor, shampoo and color buff, etc. The car turns heads.
I did not put new tires on the car, I'll leave that up to the new owner. The Trans Am shifts very smooth, the brakes work fine. The A/C works but I'm sure will need Freon.All electrical works fine. Lights work great, power windows work without any problems. I put new strut's in for the hood and back hatch.
There are a few squeaks here and there that need to be worked out, from sitting.
I think that all it needs is new tires, shock's/ struts, etc. And if I was to keep it, I get a new paint job. There is one small tear on the top corner of the driver's seat as seen in the photo.
The drivers door hing drops a bit and the back of the door rubs on closure. See photo. Door's close fine and no rattles with the doors, etc.
I drove it 50 miles and it drove very well. Radio and speakers work as well.
It's hard to find a 5 speed in this condition. The car was owned by a very good man who ended up sick. I bought the car from the family to keep, but I'd rather have a 1977 to 1981 style car.
I'm in the Pontiac POCI/ GMC club. The only real damage is the right front lower valance. I found one on e-Bay, but lost the bid. It sold for $80.
If you have any questions, please ask... Best wishes, jim
