1970 Pontiac Trans Am Lucerne Blue on 2040-cars
Port Neches, Texas, United States
|
I am listing this car for a friend. His contact information is at the bottom of this ad. This all numbers matching, PHS documented Trans Am was built with the highly desirable combination of Lucerne blue paint and bright blue interior. It has been awarded Best Firebird at The Pontiac Southern Nationals, Best in class at the Pontiac Southern Nationals, Best in class at the American Pontiac Association show and has won too many other awards to list. Photos of this Trans Am were used by Trans Am Stripes.net in their advertising materials. Its history is known back to day one. The car was sold new at Benafield Motor company in England, Arkansas. It has been an Arkansas and Texas car all of its life. It has traveled only 89,000 miles in its 43 plus years of existence.
This Trans Am was factory
equipped with the Ram Air III 335 horsepower engine, M40 Turbo 400
automatic transmission, 3.31 Saf-T-Track rear end, D55 center
console, A60 air conditioning, U63 push button radio with windshield
antenna, U80 rear seat speaker, A01 Soft ray windshield glass on all
windows, and B32 front floor mats. This Trans Am has been extensively restored.
The mostly original, rust free body panels were stripped to
bare metal, epoxy primered and treated to a two stage paint job using
PPG products. NOS stripes were then installed. The interior was restored
to show condition using only correct materials. The original dash and console were restored
by Just Dashes. New Legendary Interior upper door panels were installed. The original engine was
rebuilt, has great compression in all cylinders and runs very strong.
The original transmission and rear end have also been rebuilt. This
vehicle starts, runs, and drives like new. The A/C blows ice cold.
All lights, electrical components, and everything else works, even
the clock! This Trans Am is: 1 of 3,196 Trans Ams built in 1970 1 of 1,084 produced in Lucerne blue 1 of 988 produced with air conditioning 1 0f 765 produced with air
conditioning and automatic transmission The block, heads, intake
manifold, transmission, rear end and most other parts were born with
this car! Block casting code = 9799914 Block date code = C050 - March 5, 1970 This original, born with block and the factory stamped VIN matches the VIN number on the car Head casting codes = 12 Head date codes = A280N - January 28, 1970 Both born with heads match with the same date code Intake casting code = 9799068 and is the original born with intake manifold Transmission tag code = PQ 1820 and is the original, born with transmission.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
