1981 Trans Am - T Top Solid Body Good Frame Rails Nice Interior Good Driver

1981 Pontiac Trans Am Description

This auction is for a 1981 Trans Am T Top Car in great driver condition (NOT RUNNING).
BODY:
The body has some very minor mostly surface rust but nothing bad at all as you can see in the pictures. Both fenders are good, drivers and passenger door are good, rear quarters are in excellent condition. T-tops are in great shape and do not leak. Front and rear clips are in great shape. Rear frame rails are good, trunk and floor pans are also in very good shape. Car needs a total restoration but its a VERY SOLID start to a great 81 TA.
Did I mention the rear frame rails are VERY NICE?
TRUNK
Trunk is in great shape with minor surface rust.
INTERIOR
Comes with a NICE driver quality blue interior. I did not see anything missing and its all original with the exception of the seats which were out of a 82-92 Camaro or Firebird, they are in nice shape but not original to the car. Gauges all worked when it was parked in 1996. All interior pieces are driver quality. Carpet is OK but faded and old.
DRIVETRAIN
This car was parked in 1996 when the 301 engine developed a knock. The top end was rebuilt and the engine ran fine for a short period and the knock came back. A mechanic looked at the engine and determined it has a spun bearing. This is the original engine with 80,000 miles. Car will also need a battery and the starter is very weak. If I were to keep the car I would find a cheap running Pontiac 400 and put it in the car for under $500.
Original tranny in great shape and shifted fine when parked. The Rochester carb was rebuilt in 1996.
The car is sold as is where is and a $500 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit is required at the end of the auction via PAYPAL with the balance to be paid within 7 days either via Bank check (car wont ship until it clears) or cash when picking up the car. The car can stay at my house in my nice cozy shop free of charge for 2 weeks but after that if its still here it will be parked outside until picked up. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and payments for shipping.
This car would be a great daily driver for someone who can do the engine work or have the work done and drive the car. This car in running condition is worth $6000 to $8000 easily so my opening bid is a steal and the BUY IT NOW is still a great price. If you really want the car, I would use the BUY IT NOW as I have a feeling the car will sell for much more once more people see it and once the folks in Florida all get back home.

This car is a great deal at my opening bid and worth every penny of the BUY IT NOW. Good luck on your bidding. Please ask any questions you may have before you bid. Comes with a bill of sale only as Georgia does not require titles on vehicles 30 years or older.
NO FOREIGN BIDDERS AS THERE ARE TOO MANY SCAMMERS OUT THERE.
