1980 TransAm Indy Pace Car AND 1994 Impala SS for sale/trade


image.jpg

image.jpg

This is my Turbo Pace Car, originally sold new in Woodstock Ont. at Fred Balsdon Pontiac-Buick. I remember it being in the showroom. It's still wears its original paint and decals. Original interior also. Floors,trunk,frame rails, valance,dash corners etc. are perfect, no rust. Has original spare tire and canister,jack, t top covers. Lots of original paperwork including the rare Turbo supplement Owners manual. Still has the orig. turbo on the 301 and factory exhaust including the catalytic converter! The factory splitter tail pipes are on it ,but are in need of replacement. All options available in 1980 were heaped onto this one. Pace car exclusive mirrored t tops, oyster cloth & vinyl interior with embroidered emblems and Indy 500 decals. Note the door decals were never placed on this car from new, but are available for $220. 

This car is NOT mint. But is a true survivor of the "Disco Era" TransAms. Has 139000 Klms. Always winter stored. Had been parked in a garage for since early 90's til 2012. I only drove it for 400 Klms last year, so I wish to sell.

Price is very realistic @ $10,000. Or a nice full size 60's era Grande Parisienne or Parisienne. PM me for details. Thanks Todd!

God it's hard to believe that that car is 35 years old already? I remember when they were new. Thought they were cool even back then. Good deal though... Somebody will enjoy that car for sure. GLWS

That still boggles my mind, that it was 35 yrs ago when that car was in the showroom with a sold sign on it. I was at the dealership with my 78 black T/A trying to get warranty work done ( waste of time).
My next door neighbour's brother wanted to buy it, but it was pre sold so he got the one at a Waterloo Pontiac dealer. They were about the same price as a base Corvette and only one per qualifying dealer, so there was no dickering on price. Full list or even more.
I had figured this car was lost over the years but it was stashed away in a garage on a small side street in Woodstock about 6 blocks from where it was sold new.

I told my son about this car at dinner and he thought that it would have been awesome dancing disco too the tunes of the Bee Gee's. His Mom and I had to admit that we would do just that in the disco's in Yorkville. His Mom even had a white 76 Esprit. Funny what kids think, he said what kind of car did Travolta drive in Saturday night Fever.....

I know I've seen the movie and Travolta doesn't have a car, certainly not a George Barris Kustom (barf) Trans Am.

They were definitely THE car to have parked by the front door of the disco Ray. I had my 78 black & gold T/A during that time and the girls liked it a lot more than I did. I traded a 73 black AMX with a 401 4 speed in on that car plus a bunch of cash. I would rather have the AMX back now!
I sold the T/A to buy a 65 Corvette convertible and because I was sick of it by the summer of 80. Every time I drove down the main drag of Woodstock I would see at least 2 or 3 black T/A's. It's hard to fathom now, how popular they were back then. The Mustang became a glorified Pinto, The 'Cuda and Challenger were gone. No SS Chevelle's, GTO's, SD Beaumonts or darn near anything performance related.

cheech.jpegcheech2.jpegYes, now I remember that 64 Impala. Typical ghetto cruiser back in the day, 4 door for carrying all the thugs around the 'hood. I prefer Cheech's 64 Impala from another 70's classic movie, Up in Smoke. The Love Machine. Check out the front plate!

I met Earl and saw his car at a show this summer. It looks real good in person. As for disco, i was too young to dance but i always remember the words of Johnny Fever...disco is dead, thank god!

RE: 1980 TransAm Indy Pace Car AND 1994 Impala SS for sale/trade


SS IMP.jpgOk Im adding my 94 Chev Impala SS for a trade along with the T/A. Its black, gray int. very good underneath, decent paint runs awesome. Usual SS features, LT1 350, posi,leather,etc. Not winter driven and well preserved metal wise. A full set of extra aftermarket rims with winter tires that have very little usage. These cars aren't great in the snow.
Has lots of klm's 290,000. First owner travelled the 400 & 401 for work until 2012. 2nd owner had to sell due to family issues. Im the 3rd. I want $5000 with valid E-test & Safety Check.
Or trade both for a NICE full size Parisienne. Will update pic's as soon as I can get back at the storage area. this is exact same as mine in pic.

Beaumont was running fine when i put her away for the winter.   I'm hoping for an early spring to get her out of hibernation.

 I'm not going to derail Earls thread but that hurts, I can think of several all time classic songs from this era that top a lot of best of lists.

That's ok Ray, I'll put it right back on the rails anyway!

Earl, if you haven't already done it, advertise that SS in the US just south of you. Their dollar has great buying power here right now and there's a huge SS following all across the US.
