Vehicle Description
$48,995 Cruisn Classics is proud to present this 1981 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am NASCAR Edition (RPO Y85). This example shows just 18,448 actual miles and is one of only 2,000 produced for the 1981 model year. As emissions regulations tightened in the early '80s, Pontiac moved away from its larger-displacement engines and equipped the Trans Am with a 4.9L 301ci V8 backed by a Garrett TBO-305 turbocharger. The combination produced 200 horsepower and 340 lb-ft of torque and gave the car a unique personality compared to the earlier Trans-Ams. This example is believed to be wearing its original paint and still presents very well for its age. The factory graphics, including the iconic Screaming Chicken hood decal, remain in great condition and help preserve the car's original appearance. This car is equipped with factory T-tops, and both the glass panels and weather seals are in great shape. It retains its factory 15-inch Turbo white wheels, which are wrapped in newer Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires. One of the more interesting features on these cars is the three-stage turbo boost indicator mounted on the hood cowl. As boost builds under acceleration, the indicator lights up to show the turbocharger's output, a feature that was ahead of its time and remains a conversation piece today. The car is also equipped with Pontiac's WS6 Special Performance Package, which includes four-wheel disc brakes, a heavy-duty suspension, and a limited-slip differential. Inside, the red and black interior has been exceptionally well preserved. Other than some fading on the rear package tray, the interior shows very little wear. The factory Recaro seats are a standout feature, as the 1981 Turbo Trans Am was the first production Pontiac to offer Recaro seating from the factory. The carpet, dashboard, headliner, gauges, and interior lighting are all in excellent condition. Power windows, power locks, factory air conditioning, and the heating system are all functioning as they should. Overall, this is a well-preserved example of one of Pontiac's most distinctive and technologically advanced performance cars from the early 1980s.
