I've had a few people ask me if they could fly out and drive the car back to Boston or Florida, etc. This car was in a garage for20 years.The owner got sick. His daughter sold the car to me. So, if it was me. I would NOT drive a car across country untilI knew the car. Even if I bought a new car. I dove the car around 50 miles without any problem. It does need new tires. ButI would suggest towing thecar on a dolly, etc. Just to be on the safe side. The drive train runs very well. But still....You never know a car until you've drivenit awhile.... I've thought about driving the car a couple of 100 miles or so, but I'm trying to keep the mileage down..._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Up for auction is a very nice and rare 1985 Trans Am. This was a special order car. The owner had the 5 speed transmission addedalong with the T-tops.The car was sitting in the garage for 20 years. It had boxes piled on it and they scratched the paint. The car looks good but someof the clear coat is coming off on the driver, rear side as seen in the photos.
The oil and other fluids have been changed. I drove the car down town to get it detailed, motor, shampoo and color buff, etc. The car turns heads.
I did not put new tires on the car, I'll leave that up to the new owner. The Trans Am shifts very smooth, the brakes work fine.The A/C works but I'm sure will need Freon.All electrical works fine. Lights work great, power windows work without any problems. I put new strut's in for the hood andback hatch.
There are a few squeaks here and there that need to be worked out, from sitting.
I think that all it needs is new tires, shock's/ struts, etc. And if I was to keep it, I get a new paint job. There is one smalltear on the top corner of the driver's seat as seen in the photo.
The drivers door hing drops a bit and the back of the door rubs on closure. See photo. Door's close fine and no rattles withthe doors, etc.
I drove it 50 miles and it drove very well. Radio and speakers work as well.
It's hard to find a 5 speed in this condition. The car was owned by a very good man who ended up sick. I bought the car fromthe family to keep, but I'd rather have a 1977 to 1981 style car.
I'm in the Pontiac POCI/ GMC club. The only real damage is the right front lower valance. I found one on e-Bay, but lost thebid. It sold for $80.
If you have any questions, please ask... Best wishes, jim

I forgot to mention shipping.

Shipping is up to the buyer. I will do all I can to help. I will bring the car up to I-10, to the town of Benson, AZ, which will lower the cost in shipping.
If the car is bought by someone in Tucson or the Phoenix area, I will deliver the car for the cost of gas. Around 200 miles to Phoenix.
Also, in the photo, the driver door looks like it doesn't close. The door is ajar, not closed all the way. The door does close tight. There is also a piece of trim missing on the door,as seen in the photo's.
The T-Tops lock but there is no key :o(. The drivers side is unlocked. The passenger side is locked. It needs to be unlocked. This is the only Trans Am that I've had withlocking T-Tops. I've had 6 Trans Am's all the other's didn't have locking T-Tops... If there's any questions, please ask... jimOn Jan-10-17 at 14:17:32 PST, seller added the following information:

The listing states that there were 3 owners of the car. This is miss leading.

The first owner, passed on, so the daughter put the car in her name in order to sell it to me.
I had to put the car in my name in order to have key's made for the car. I had the car in my garage, and some how the key's got lost and I had to have more made.It's a law in Arizona to have the car and title in your name, so they know the car wasn't stolen. I'm still looking for the original key's... :o( jimPlease don't bid on this vehicle if you have no intention of buying it.I'm an honest person. No one would want themselves treated that way... It cost me time and money :o(
