With just 18,000 miles, this rare collectible blends turbocharged performance, classic styling, and luxury—a must-have for enthusiasts!

At the heart of this limited-edition Trans Am is a 3.8-liter turbocharged V-6 engine with an intercooler, borrowed from the legendary Buick GNX.

With its special performance package, this Trans Am offers the perfect balance of speed, stability, and handling.

Distinctive Design
Finished in classic white with a Camel leather interior, this Trans Am boasts timeless styling that pays homage to its heritage. The Aero Package boosts its bold look, with gold diamond-spoke wheels and polished exhaust tips adding a touch of elegance. For those sunny days, the T-tops provide an open-air driving experience.

Comfort and Convenience
The interior of this pace car is designed with comfort and convenience in mind, offering an impressive array of features for its time, including:

Air conditioning
High-back rear folding seats
Tilt steering wheel
Power windows, door locks, mirrors, and rear deck lid
AM/FM stereo with cassette and EQ, controlled via steering wheel controls
Cruise control for effortless long drives

Special Turbo Instrument Gauge Cluster
Aero Package for enhanced styling and performance
Gold diamond-spoke aluminum wheels
