Vehicle Detail
1984 Pontiac Trans Am. Bought new at Blount Pontiac in Gainesville, Florida by a man in his early 30's. I have the ORIGINAL title showing where he bought the car on March 2nd 1984. 5.0 liter (305 cubic inch) V8 engine with the 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission, four wheel disc brakes. What is cool about this particular car, is the fact that it is a top of the line Trans Am, but it has very few options.. It has manual windows, locks, seats, mirrors, no rear window defogger etc. The radio is AM/FM only, not even a cassette player. The original spare tire and jack are still stored in their original location. Since I have owned it, I bought four new Mastercraft MC-440 215/65R15 tires ($300), only had three mounted, one is in my shed. Car has had the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, distributor rotor, air filter, fuel filter, and wiper blades replaced. I drove it from my home in Darien, Georgia to Brunswick and back three times before the engine started smoking and I believe I hear a bottom end knock (SEE VIDEOS). I need a car that will get me back forth. I have always loved the looks of these cars, ever since I was a young boy. My Sisters boyfriend had one brand new and I got to ride in it, and it was a very memorable experience for me. And there was always KITT from the TV series Knight Rider... Here are a few cool things about the '84 T/A:*It is one of the most aerodynamic Trans Am's ever built. The 1983 Daytona 500 Edition (Same body with same ground effects) had a coefficient of drag of only .029!! The only notable difference between that car, and this one are the "bowling ball" hubcaps on the wheels. This car is more aerodynamic than the newer (1993 and up) cars that despite having a more aggressively raked windshield, also had a ton more frontal area. *This particular car, with its short list of options weighs only 3262 lbs, according to the information on the title. *1984 was the last year for the Finned Type taillights. They were only used from 1982-1984, and the Trans Am models were dark tinted. *Car has functional cold air intake system. Under full throttle, a solenoid opens a flap at the rear of the hoods cowl to allow cooler air to get to the intake.*No t-tops = less squeaks, rattles, and wet bumpkis first thing in the morning. *Instrument panel backlighting is red, just like the 1983 Daytona 500 Trans Am was, and later became a Pontiac trademark. I have removed the air conditioning compressor, condenser, hoses, and the smog pump. I kept those pieces should the next owner decide to use them. My dream was to build a light, nimble car that could get 25 mpg +, handle like a Porsche, and run like a Cheetah on cocaine, but it is just not the right time for that to happen. (Hawks Third Gen makes LS engine conversion parts, and also have everything necessary to convert it to a 6-speed, just sayin'). All lights work (dome light bulb is MIA, on the list of things to get before the engine started smoking). Steering was tight and smooth. Car could use shocks and struts, as well as hood and hatch struts. There are only 150 miles on the three tires I have put on the car! I also have a three piece rear window louver set that goes with it. The center section is damaged, but may be repairable, either way it is yours with the car. This car is in REMARKABLY good condition to be an unrestored 30 year old car!! You can't find these in very good shape anymore. They don't have complicated computers running abs systems, or engine controls, and is very easy to work on and get parts for. Car is located in the beautiful Coastal Georgia town of Darien (about one hour south of Savannah). Make a weekend get-away out of it, and spend some time at the beach while enjoying some fresh Georgia Shrimp and your favorite beverage! Deposit of $250 due within 72 hours of auctions end.
