1981 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo Description

1981 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Turbo
Up for sale is my personal toy that I have had for a short period of time, I don't have enough time to enjoy it so I think it will be the best for the car to let it go to a person that can appreciate it more than I can.
I am the second registered owner of the car, but the third owner of it.The original owner parked the car back in 1989 for unknown reasons with 50,670 miles. The second owner parked it under a shed when he got it in 2003 and it stayed there until 2018 he then got it out of that property onto a new houseand placed a for sale sign on it and placed it on facebook marketplace. Once i saw it I had to bring it back to life, car would run but it would idle rough, as it needed the carb to be cleaned.
I personally was involved in the paint restoration of the car. As it sat under the shed some water leaked from the shed onto some parts of the paint, so it damaged it some decals where cracked, headliner was bad, but other than that it was 97% complete and not a whole lot where missing. The car was sanded down by hand re-sealed, re-primered, recoated factory original paint color, using PPG brand only in all stages including clear coat, well over $2000 where spent on materials only. Decals where replaced with OEM style colors from Classic Industries.
Everything that was done to the car was to preserve its original form as it came from the factory. No modifications where made to the car what so ever. The only different item is the NEW retro sound stereo that was placed in the dash along with new KICKER speakers all around. This was made to bring it up to date on that as the stereo has BLUETOOTH, so you can play you favorite music from your mobile device as well as free hand calling.
Mechanically the car is very sound and works perfectly, the engine was checked, carburetor was rebuilt, spark plugs replaced as well as wires, oil and filter where changed, it was tuned up, new belts. The transmission had the filter and oil changed. I have driven it from Houston to Austin and back over the weekend of the Raduno Classic Car Rally. (will include video of rally at the bottom so you can see the car and others)
The brakes where all replaced with new parts, all calipers, rotors and hoses. All shocks where replaced with new ones, so the car stops and handles very well.
I am pretty sure that I am forgetting something so I will list everything that where replaced new. I have all receipts and will send them with the car, as most have lifetime warranty just in case they may be needed.
In the interior most was there except floor mats and some small pieces that I bought from classic industries. The carpet was replaced as the old one was very dirty and unclean able, the headliner was re-covered with red suedethat looks amazing. new mats where placed with the "TURBO" logo, there are no tears or breaks in the interior anywhere that I have seen. The door panels where restored as the underside was bad but the leather cover was preserved and was used to re-cover the new underside.
The A/C compressor, dryer and in line filter where replaced with new parts, lines and condenser where flushed, everything else was checked, vacuumleak tested and refilled with lube and Freonto ensure proper work. It blows cold air. heater works perfect too.
The car has power door lock, power windows, cruise control and A/C options, clock on the dash. everything there works perfectly as it should.
I can provide more detailed pictures and videos if needed, and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do my best to answer each and all of the to the best of my knowledge.
Clear Blue Title in my name.
