1981 Pontiac TA

Turbo charged 4.9 V8, automatic transmission, WS6 4 wheel disk brake handling package, power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, tilt wheel, power windows, factory tachometer, correct dual exhaust, T-Tops, CD player, original reconditioned honey comb rims, period correct CB radio, and radar detector. This is a very nice rust free original condition trans am with 118,000 miles that has most of all its original black paint and stickers still intact and in very presentable original condition. It runs and drives excellent down the road and has a good original tan cloth interior with wear showing on the driver side seat. This is a very nice investment grade smoky and the bandit Trans Am with tons of Curb appeal!

My Mom's boyfriend had one of these cars when I was a teen, it was dark charcoal grey, turbo, with t- tops. One of the fist sports cars I ever drove. I remember he bought that thing brand new, it wouldn't be much performance- wise by today's standards, but back then, it was one badass ride. I'll always love the 1981 Trans-Am.

How is the power in the 81 turbos?

[tonidmc]

by 1981 the Trans Am become a grand tourer than a muscle car. by the way, look at the performance of other cars from 1981: mustang cobra, camaro z28, corvette, delorean, datsun Z, and then you will notice that the 81 Trans am wasn't so bad at all.

@shane77ta how does the oldsmobile powered F body run? I owned an Olds 98 w/ a 403/th350 combo and it was strong but the car was 2 tons and the rear end might as well been 1:1

@shane77ta haha yeaahh, i wouldnt be embarassed to own and drive one, they still look amazing, they're rare, and they're the last true Pontiac motor in a T/A...but i definatly wouldnt be revving at any stop lights LOL

I would however like to take one and put a turbo charged LS1 or LS3 in it ;-)

[shane77ta]

hahaha i have a 77 se and 79 se and the 77 is a 400 4 speed and the 79 is the 403 olds. ur right the turbos cant get out of their own way

[Ratmouth66]

haha, i bet it was full throttle, these turbo T/As were decent on paper especially when you compare them to the Olds 403 and Pontiac 400 versions of earlier years (210hp and 345tq) seems like a good deal, but when you get them on the road they pull quarter times of 16 seconds T-T *wheeze* I hear its all from the poor gas quality and the sensors that retard the timing.

Not saying they're not good investments though, only about 6000 Turbos and 3000 SE Turbos, they're rare and will be valuable
