62K-Mile 1985 Pontiac Trans Am
Overview
Description
There are Low Miles No Miles cars…and then there are the ones that take you right back. This 1985 Pontiac Trans Am falls into that category, showing just 62,655 miles and standing as a clean, well-preserved example of mid-80s muscle car culture.
Vehicle Overview
Finished in black with gold accents over a tan interior, this Trans Am is powered by its original 305 cubic-inch V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor, paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The odometer currently shows 62,655 miles, and the car remains largely original throughout.
This example retains its factory look and feel, with only minor changes including an aftermarket radio. The original radio is included with the sale.
Story
According to the seller, the original owner took exceptional care of the car, keeping it out of snow and rain and preserving it from inclement weather. That same level of care has continued with the current owner.
Rather than being used as a daily driver, this Trans Am was treated as something to be kept and enjoyed sparingly something that shows in its overall presentation today.
The current owner has added approximately 530 miles during ownership, continuing the pattern of light use.
Condition
As expected for a well-kept example, the car presents cleanly throughout. The exterior is believed to retain its original paint, with only minor touch-up work noted on small imperfections.
The interior shows wear consistent with the miles shown and remains in good overall condition.
The vehicle is reported to be rust-free and runs and drives well. Recent service completed on April 10 included replacement of the fuel filter, and the car is noted to be running excellent.
All systems are reported to function as intended, with the exception of the air conditioning, which is not currently blowing cold.
Overall, this is a clean, honest example that reflects long-term care and preservation.

Letter From The LMNM Team
This is one of those cars that just brings you back.
The mid-80s Trans Ams have a certain look and feel to them, and this one still has it. The colors, the stance, the overall presence it’s exactly what you remember. You can't beat black and gold on a T/A!
What stood out to us is how it’s been treated over time. Kept out of the elements, driven sparingly, and never really turned into something else. It’s just stayed true to what it is.
Cars like this aren’t about being the fastest or the rarest they’re about the feeling. And this one still delivers that.
