1981 Pontiac Trans Am Turbo 301
An iconic piece of Pontiac performance history. This Trans Am is powered by the original Pontiac-built 301 Turbo V8, one of the last true Pontiac engines produced before the end of the muscle car era. Featuring the aggressive styling that made the second-generation Trans Am famous, this car represents the peak of Pontiac's turbocharged performance efforts in the early 1980s.
The car retains its factory Turbo 301 engine and unique turbo-specific components. The engine is strong and runs when fueled directly through the carburetor, making it an excellent candidate for restoration, preservation, or a period-correct driver build. The body showcases the unmistakable Trans Am stance, shaker hood, and classic styling that helped define an era.
Whether you're a Pontiac enthusiast, collector, or someone looking for a rare project, this Turbo Trans Am offers a unique opportunity to own one of the final chapters in Pontiac muscle car history.
