Exterior
The Starlight Black paint is in good/great condition I’m not sure if car was repainted, I’ve owned it for over 10 years There are several factory markings and tags throughout the underside of this TA There may be some minor imperfections that are not noticeable in the photos, but nothing was intentionally excluded from the photos. The tires are good/great condition with full tread left and are correctly sized 225/70/15 and the original factory turbo wheels are in excellent shape with correct center caps and lug nuts. All weather stripping and window sweeps are in good condition, window rubber seal are cracked I have replacements for both just never put on, Trunk is very solid and clean with the original space saver spare tire and jack, The original spare tire appears to have never been used from the trunk other than the speakers I had someone The back speakers are not original speakers with The exhaust on this TA is factory correct as the 1981 4 speed TA's shared the drive line and exhaust with the Camaro Z28's including strait pipes over splitter tips coupled with the 305 Chevy engine.

The Doe Skin cloth interior of this Trans Am is in great stock condition not perfect but original to car, The interior has light fading.

Mechanical
This Trans Am is in good mechanical condition and runs and drives good needs refreshed and gone threw to run at it’s best, Most importantly the original engine and original transmission are still in the car and in very good working condition. I have driven this TA numerous times and it runs and drives ok needing a tune up and handles great. The exhaust system is in good shape and I believe original to car. it does ride tight, and is always a joy to drive. The smiles, thumbs up, and attention you get driving this car is unlike any classic car I have driven. and the car handles and performs very well. This Trans Am is an exceptional driver that feels great on the road and at highway speeds. Power windows work, The brakes work, the engine bay is very unmolested with several tags and factory markings still in place, The engine is clean and factory correct. There is a lot of originality under the hood and throughout the car.
