Well, here it is up again. This time with an explanation as to why a 1980 Trans Am is 75k.

http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/cto/2656507193.html

Original everything.....26,000 original miles....that's right !!!

Color: Maroon
Interior: Maroon
Cylinder: 8cl
Transmission: Automatic
Engine: 4.9
Power window's, door locks, steering,
Original radio with 8 track
Decals and Eagle: All original
Clean Title
Never had an accident

75,000.00 or best offer.......

Please don't call and harrass me. I didn't keep this car in MINTcondition for 31 years to have people ask why it's so expensive.
Call Mecum Auto Auctions and ask them.

I don't remember 8-tracks in the 79-81 'Birds. Cassette player in the radio yes. IMO, no matter how 'original' or low miles it is, it's not worth 75K.

I imagine it's an Olds Toronado FWD setup.

I must truly be getting old. I wouldn't consider owning a car like that anymore. I'm not mature enough to respect it.
