Description

--White with Saddle leather interior with saddle carpeting, Turbocharged and intercooled 3.8 Liter V6 engine, 4-speed 200-4R Automatic transmission, Only 5,000 original miles!
 
The example on offer is one of only 1,555 units produced by General Motors to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Trans Am, and to subsequently serve as the official pace car for the 73rd Indianapolis 500. This very limited production automobile is equipped with the only two options available, t-tops and leather interior. Factory fitted with the following: WS6 Level III performance suspension with Delco gas-charged shocks, tuned coil springs, a fixed-ratio 12.7:1 ratio steering box, 1LE four-wheel disc brakes, vented Repco 12” rotors in the front paired with heavy-duty PBR aluminum twin-piston calipers, and a set of 11.7” rotors with Corvette-spec PBR calipers in the rear. Further, it utilizes a standard-issue GTA rear axle with 3.27:1 gearing and Positraction. A revised torque arm arrangement locates the rear axle. It has been upgraded with a sport-tuned ECU chip with the original to accompany the sale.
 
It was produced with gold-centered 16x8” diamond-spoke aluminum wheels with Z-rated (150+ MPH approved) Goodyear Eagle ZR50 245/50ZR16 “Gatorback” radials. This example has been upgraded with 17” replica gold diamond spoke wheels and 275/40-17” tires, with originals to accompany the automobile.

This Trans AM has been locally collector owned and shows as-new throughout. Included are its original t-top shade inserts, owner's manual, books, compact spare wheel, jack, lug wrench and t-top storage bag. A rare find in today's market, this represents a wonderful opportunity to own an iconic piece of American motorsports history that is turnkey and ready for immediate enjoyment.
