1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

Description

Camaros, Mustangs and MoPars just don't floats some folks' boats. See, they like to stand out from the sea of 'me too' muscle, and they like to support automotive guards that, despite market headwinds, never deviated from their original heading. That's the chief mantra of many diehard Pontiac fans, and that's why cars like this choice Firebird Trans Am are so appealing. Combining a hot Ram Air III 400 with razor-sharp aesthetics and an exclusive, column-shift 3-speed, this legendary Poncho is sure to provide miles of turnkey bliss! Looking for some cool old muscle that's ready to cruise the strip OR reflect the show? Head on over to https://www.RKMotors.com and check out your next classic!

TEAM BLUE AND WHITE

A meticulously restored F-Body that's one of only 1,339 Ram Air III/3-speed Trans Ams produced for the 1970 model year, this first class Firebird wears correct Polar White 2-stage that's set off by aggressive blue war paint. The car's solid body, blasted bare and completely restored, displays smooth, flat panels that are complemented by better-than-factory alignment. Those lines kick off with a glossy Endura bumper, which hangs a familiar, 2-piece grille between stainless-trimmed headlights and stainless-trimmed parking lamps. At the top of those grilles, a blue Screamin' Chicken leads a correct, letter-free shaker, which rocks in front of fresh glass that's trimmed in bright stainless. At the sides of that glass, body-matched sport mirrors cap traditional louvers, aggressive flares and professionally re-plated door handles. Opposite those mirrors, a sculpted spoiler hangs a bold “TRANS AM” callout above retro “PONTIAC” lettering, a professionally re-plated bumper and the last set of 'small' taillights to ever adorn a Trans Am valence. And it all adds up to muscled MoTown royalty that's virtually guaranteed to never go out of style!

RAM AIR III

Under the hood, 400 cubic inches of proven Pontiac power hides a 1970-specific 9799914 casting number behind a Ram Air III-spec “YZ” assembly stamp and a matching 110059 partial VIN. At the top of that Turquoise mill, a requisite Rochester 4-barrel bridges the gap between factory Ram Air induction, fresh stainless fluid lines and a cast iron intake. That intake rides between cast iron heads, which hang professionally re-plated valve covers over restored exhaust manifolds. A familiar points distributor jolts spark through fresh Packard TV R Suppression cables. Cooling is provided by a 4-core radiator, which, affixed to a fresh support, sends water through pliable GM hoses and reproduction tower clamps. And aesthetically, the car's impressive engine bay has been very well restored.

CLEAN & CORRECT

At the bottom of this slick, second-generation Firebird, Red Oxide floorpans shade decades of dry storage and easy living. Behind the hot Pontiac 400, an original Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed wears a correct “70-PQ” assembly tag opposite a matching 110059 partial VIN. That transmission twists power to a tough 12-bolt axle that's finished with a posi-traction differential and 3.55 gears. Below that stellar drivetrain, a rebuilt Trans Am suspension, which includes correct power steering, thicker sway bars, better shocks and stiffer springs, complements standard issue power front disc and rear drum brakes. At the center of the car, a throaty, true-dual exhaust system hangs a correct, transverse muffler in front of polished stainless tips. And everything rolls on a quartet of attractive Rally IIs, which twist F60-15 Goodyear Polyglas GTs.

PLEASANT SPORTINESS

When it comes to interior décor, Pontiac's '70s team was firing on all eight cylinders. Freshly installed during the car's detailed restoration, correct Sandalwood vinyl is clean and crisp, easily defying this Trans Am's age. Tasteful bucket seats boast meticulously rehabbed Ssnake-Oyl belts. In front of those seats, a Just Dashes dash cases fresh factory telemetry, rebuilt by Bob's Speedometer Service, above correct Delco audio. Beneath that ledge, clean carpet floats Trans Am themed floor mats between plush side panels. And the driver spins a black Formula Steering Wheel around a simple chrome shifter.

When the sun is warm and the road is beckoning, this Trans Am is exactly the kind of classic that can answer the call! Pontiac has one of the richest histories of any automaker, and there's a reason second-generation Firebirds are a rarity in our showroom. They're handsome, fun, ideal hobby cars that are exclusive by nature. Time to add a little Tin Indian to your garage!
