On Mar-25-11 at 09:40:03 PDT, seller added the following information: THE TURBO T/A : ONE ELEMENT OF THE 301-POWERED TRANS AM IS THE REMARKABLE CHASSIS TUNING, DUBBED WS6. IT WAS INTRODUCED IN 1978, AND CAME WITH 15X8 INCH WHEELS ON 225/70R15 WHITE-LETTER TIRES (THIS CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL TIRES),A CONSTANT-RATIO, HIGH EFFORT STEERING BOX,A LARGER 3/4 INCH REAR SWAY BAR,SPECIAL ANTI-ROLL BAR BUSHINGS,BRACKETS AND GROMMETS ON BOTH ENDS,SPECIFIC-RATE FRONT COIL SPRINGS, SPECIAL FRAME BRACING AND FIRMER SHOCKS; IN '79 THE J65 REAR DISC BRAKES WERE ADDED TO THE PACKAGE, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE SYSTEM'S ANCILLARY COMPONENTS. BACK -IN-THE-DAY REPORTS SHOW THAT THE T/A WAS WITHIN A TICK OF A CORVETTE IN EVERY FACET AROUND A RACETRACK, AND WAS STEPS AHEAD OF CHEVY'S Z28 AT EVERY TURN (OR GREEN LIGHT, FOR THAT MATTER)...BUT SURELY SOME OF THIS WAS COMPARATIVE HYPE? I DON'T THINK SO. CORNERING REMAINED SHARP AND FLAT, WITH NO SLACK GIVEN THROUGH THE FORMULA WHEEL, AND NO SLOPPY LEANING IN THE TURNS. TEN YEARS INTO THE SECOND-GEN-F-BODY'S EXISTENCE, AND IT STILL TOOK OTHERS YEARS BEYOND THIS CAR'S DEMISE TO APPROACH IT'S CORNERING CAPABILITIES;IT SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT HOW FAR AHEAD OF THE CURVE GM AND PONTIAC WERE. SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT IN "GOOD GUY WHITE"!! THE ENGINEERS DID THEIR BEST WITH WHAT THEY HAD; THEY STARTED WITH A CHUNKIER BLOCK THAN THE STANDARD-ISSUE 301 WITH 1/2 INCH MAIN BEARING BOLTS AND NINE EXTRA POUNDS OF BLOCK MEAT, DROPPED THE COMPRESSION TO 7.5:1 THANKS TO A REDESIGNED PISTON THAT ALSO INCORPORATED FATTER WRIST PINS,THEN INSTALLED A STURDIER CRANK WITH PRESSURE-TREATED FILLETS, A MILD CAM WITH 0.350 LIFT AND 250 DEGREES DURATION, A 60 P.S.I. OIL PUMP AND BAFFLED PAN, AN OIL-COOLED AIRESEARCH TURBOCHARGER (WASTE-GATE-LIMITED TO JUST NINE POUNDS OF BOOST) AND A SPECIFIC 800 CFM QUADRAJET FOUR-BARREL CARBURETOR WITH SUPER-RICH SECONDARY METERING RODS FOR ADDITIONAL FUEL UNDER BOOST ATOP AN OFFSET ALUMINUM INTAKE. On Mar-29-11 at 04:05:26 PDT, seller added the following information: THE TRUNK IS LIKE THE REST OF THE CAR; ALL ORIGINAL CARPETING, WITH ORIGINAL INFLATABLE SPARE TIRE WITH BOTTLE, JACK IS ALL ORIGINAL AND ALSO IN ITS PROPER PLACE. TRUNK LIGHTS WORK PERFECTLY . ALSO, IN THE TRUNK ARE THE COVERS FOR THE T-TOP WINDOWS , ORIGINAL SLEEVES FROM GM. THE T-TOPS STOW NICELY IN THE TRUNK, ON THOSE NICE AFTERNOONS!!

On Mar-30-11 at 07:29:47 PDT, seller added the following information: I HAD A RECENT INQUIRER, THAT WANTED TO KNOW HOW THEY COULD BE ASSURED THAT THIS WAS A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE, (THAT'S A FAIR QUESTION), I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT, BEING THAT I'M THE SECOND OWNER - WAS THIS WAS TRULY A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE!? THE RESEARCH THAT I DID HAD TO COME THROUGH DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE, WHICH DETERMINES BY REGISTRATION OF VEHICLE THE MILEAGE AT THE ANNUAL EMISSIONS CHECK AND REGISTRATION. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE THAT I'M INCLUDING INTO THE PHOTO SET. (ARIZONA CERTIFICATE OF TITLE # 14249834, VEH ID #2X87TAN129273,TEAR 1980,MAKE PONT,MODEL FSE(FIREBIRD SPECIAL EDITION),CP COUPE. I HOPE THIS ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION! THANKS FOR INQUIRING. SEE PHOTO INSERT OF DMV CERTIFICATE OF TITLE. On Mar-30-11 at 08:24:01 PDT, seller added the following information: Yes, the odometer when I purchased the vehicle several years ago read 29,063, I haven't put much on it since, little over 1,000 miles! On the photo inset, if you read the odometer section of the title you will see the: A - indicates Actual mileage. If you read the letter following the mileage you will see that the (A) appears after the mileage. Which indicates actual mileage, this is controlled by DMV. It's not like you have control over this, this very scrutinized by the Department of Motor Vehicle. Thanks for your inquiry! I hope this helps. On Mar-30-11 at 09:38:16 PDT, seller added the following information: Pontiac TURBO TRANS AM EXTERNALLY IT MAY HAVE LOOKED LIKE THE 1979,BUT WITH A TURBOCHARGED,SMALL-BORE ENGINE AND AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THE 1980 FIREBIRD TRANS AM WAS AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT BREED. IT WAS, HOWEVER,STILL DEEMED QUICK ENOUGH TO PACE THAT YEAR'S INDIANAPOLIS 500, WHICH IT DID IN STYLE. On Mar-30-11 at 14:19:32 PDT, seller added the following information: FOUR-WHEEL DISC BRAKES; In 1980, Only Pontiacs were available with four-wheel disc brakes.
