1980 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am Indy Pace Car Edition

Here is a genuine cornerstone of any serious Second Generation Trans Am collection — a 1980 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am Indy Pace Car Edition, built to commemorate the 64th running of the Indianapolis 500. With only 5,700 examples ever produced and a VIN-designated “X” code confirming its authentic Pace Car pedigree, this is a true survivor from Pontiac’s legendary Turbo Era. While the rest of Detroit wrestled with tightening emissions regulations, Pontiac engineers kept performance alive by boosting the 301 cubic-inch V8 — a one-year-only innovation that defines this car’s place in history. Draped in the unmistakable Cameo White and Charcoal Gray livery with its sweeping five-color Turbo Bird and official Indy 500 graphics, this Trans Am commands attention the moment it rolls into view. Slide beneath the T-Tops, take in that Oyster White cabin, and imagine adding this rare Turbo Bird to your own collection.
