« on: July 07, 2012, 09:55:44 PM »
Description: 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, Engine: 301, 8 Cylinder, Automatic transmission, 58000 miles, Exterior: Red, AM/FM Radio, CD Player, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Garage Kept, Non Smoker Has snow flake rims, shaker hood, Southern car no rust, T-tops, all new steering, well maintained,new paint and decals... Ready To Go Asking $7800...offered to me at 6800.00.

Needs new shoes and shocks, Bob said.

I was thinking more of a price of 6 grand, cash "n carry?

Found out air doesn't work, but all there.

I know, 301 engine??? I just want a toy, nothing fast.

Located in Rockford MI...I'm in Las Vegas NV...shipping about a grand.

Any imput will help.

Thanks,

Ray

Here are a few more pics of the 1980 301 TA for sale.

Looks really nice to me. Though I would've used charcoal decals to match the interior.
