VERY NICE LOW MILEAGE DOCUMENTED 2X87TAN INDIANAPOLIS 500 PACE CAR SURVIVOR IN UN-MOLESTED CONDITION. ALL IS ORIGINAL EXEPT FOR THE TIRES AND BATTERY. MFG AT THE NORWOOD PLANT IN OHIO, USA Imagine that, USA. The NADA Classic car book value is $25,000.00 here is a link. http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1980/Pontiac/Firebird/Trans-Am-Indy-Pace-Car/Values BASE PRICE IN 1980 WAS $11,194.52 SPECIAL EDITION CLASS This car was bought to replace my first car a 1971 Formula 400 Firebird. Man I wish I still had that one. The only reason I am selling this is that my job of 22 years is gone due to the economy and I need the money to keep my house. If it sells at least I can say. Man, I used to have one of those. I bought it in 1989 with 54,700 miles on it and drove it only a few times a year up to 1993 when I decided it was too nice to take the chance of an accident. (Still has 93 Plates on it) It has 56,150 miles now and only driven around the neighborhood a couple of times a year. It has all original and never touched paint interior and Drive train! The exterior charcoal accents show some age but is 100% original and 31 years old. With only minor chips and dings it is very presentable at any classic car event. The wheels are perfect and I have new genuine GM restoration center caps on but still have all but one of the originals. I bought a new hood insulation pad but never installed it. The hood decal has a 3" scratch from where my horse tried to eat it. The power antenna mast is broken from me backing out of my drive and clipping a pine tree branch. I was told that you can still get a GM replacement Mast Kit. The power part of it is still working. The left door has a slight crease from and air hose being whipped over the top of the car by a friend. There is a small amount of transmission fluid dripping from somewhere. The right front bumper Grill insert is broken but they are available. Only have one T-Top cover. It has the original build sheet still tucked behind the back seat as it was from the factory. Door decals were optional; the original owner ordered it without decals. This car was undercoated when it was new. EMAIL ME FOR ADDITIONAL PHOTOS ON AREAS NOT COVERED IN THIS LISTING. I have seen other 2X87TAN’s that have been puttied up repainted and or motor swapped sell for more than my starting price. A $500.00 Immediate Deposit via PayPal is required.
