Turbo T/A Pace Cars?

[Munkyslut]

Hi guys, I am looking at an ‘80 Turbo Pace Car to add to my collection.

They’re very scarce in the U.K., so you have to jump fast when one comes up.

I have a couple of questions on trim cause this one looks a bit odd to me.

Firstly, it’s got mirrored T-tops; I thought they were all dark-smoked.

Secondly, it’s got a grey cloth deluxe interior with silver door panels complete with a red ‘Bird that looks the same as the ones in my ‘79 10th Anniversary.

The rest of the car looks correct: proper white painted 8” Turbo wheels, original paint & decals in the door scripts, plus the large Pontiac lettering across the top of the windscreen.

Any thoughts?

Do you have a photo of the car you are looking at?

Thank you,

I’ve done a bit of research & this is correct for an ‘80 Indy pace car. The ‘81 Daytona pace cars have the black smoked T tops & a less flamboyant Bird with less graphite paint, biggest difference is the Recaro black & orange/red interior.
The oyster grey dash, console, door trims & carpet were a direct carry over from the ‘79 10th Anniversary, which of course I have.
