1981 Pontiac Trans Am 2dr Coupe Description

REAL BANDIT EDITION TRIPLE BLACK (Y84) PHS DOCUMENTED
I purchased this car a few months ago, with the mistake of not getting it inspected. I paid the price for a nice car, but needless to say I did not get the car that I thought I was getting. I mention this for the reason of the quick turn around. This car needs work (as described below) and I don't have the skill nor the money required. For this reason I am listing the car at a low price with no reserve. I have attempted to describe the car as best as I can. The engine seems strong. As normal with these cars, the battery drains, thus I disconnect the battery, and only connect it to start it up to run the engine for a bit once a week. I have driven it about 50 miles in total.

Known Issues:
  • The two switches for the two map-reader lights need to be replaced. They work and then they don't work.
  • Clock and trip-mileage knobs do not move/work
  • The cigarette lighter sits loose, but it does get hot when pushed in
  • Turbo lights functions on high brightness. On low brightness only Medium and High turn on, Normal does not turn on.
  • Power locks trigger but don't actually lock the door. Manually locking the doors works.
  • Passenger windows must be lowered slightly to close the door properly. If the window is all the way up, the glass makes contact with the frame preventing a complete close. Once the door is closed you can fully raise the window.
  • Not all fender side-lights turn on when using blinkers or parking lights (tail and front do turn on)
  • Front bumper has two scrapes that have been touched up
  • Broken corner on tail light (a new tail light cover is on order)
