1980 Pontiac Trans Am 20th Anniversary Turbo Pace Car

looks like it has been untouched since new, but time has not been kind.

I have no idea, anyone?

What do you mean that "time has not been kind"? Is it a car left in a leaky barn left to the elements and critters or does it just need minor touches?
The prices range dramatically, even on nice low mileage examples. Here is a quote from liveauctioneers.com, "Current prices in the United States range from $6500 for basket cases to upwards of $25,000 for nicely restored examples. Consider the value of these down the road – better than the stock market. This would make a great addition for the Firebird or Trans Am enthusiast that has everything."
So many factors are involved. Here is an ebay example, and just for grins this Barrett-Jackson 'special edition' T/A (not a pace car) below:

It looks like it sat in someone's driveway baking in the sun for years, I am going to see it again tomorrow, will post more details.

That's a shame, but could be quite a find if the mileage is documented, and the price is right.

Im thinking 7-7.5k

See pics, Would need full restoration to be of collector quality

Hey, as long as you found out before any cash changed hands, no problem! Those pics didn't indicate a 2,000 miles collector car. Ouch!!
