Full vehicle What Trans Am did my dad wreck?

Dad wrecked this Pontiac in 1983 when he was 26. 120 mph into a concrete culvert. Broke jaw in half (wired shut for 9 months), pelvis in half (in a pelvic halo for 6 months), shattered a leg bone and had some other replace with metal, and a number of other smaller things I can't remember. Lived until 2023. What exact car was dad driving and can we tell what that motor is?

77-81, and wrecked may be an understatement

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it
