1970 Pontiac Trans Am

American Muscle with European Handling

The 1970 Pontiac Trans Am wore the same impact-absorbing snout as other Firebirds, but Pontiac said its unique front air dam and fender air extractors created 50 pounds of down force on the nose at expressway speeds. It claimed equal down force to the tail from a big deck lid lip and small spoilers in front of the rear wheels. Inside, complete instrumentation was standard and included a tachometer turned on its side to redline at 12 o'clock, just like in a real race car. Critics were impressed. Even with 57 percent of the weight on the front wheels, Sport Car Graphic said, "Overall handling feel -- for a production car -- was as near to a front engine race car as we have ever driven." And Car and Driver called the 1970 Pontiac Trans Am "a hard muscled, lightning-flexed commando of a car, the likes of which doesn't exist anywhere in the world, even for twice the price.

This restored example was built at the Van Nuys California plant and delivered to Weinrich Buick Pontiac in Las Cruces New Mexico on the 11th of June 1970. And it comes the PHS documentation and copy of the orginal dealer invoice and window sticker. Painted in Polar white, with Blue interior and is a numbers matching car with automatic transmission and hard to find factory AC. It also has power steering and power brakes with period correct Goodyear poly glass tires on the Pontiac spoke rims. The Ram Air III engine is equipped with the Trans Am shaker hood and dual exhaust. It also comes with a 1/16^th scale model of this exact car for your trophy case. If you’re looking for a great example of one of the most desirable Trans Am model years, this car has it all.
