Year:1970 Mileage:89000

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. The factory stamped VIN matches the VIN number on the car

Rear end code = COV (Saf-T-Track with 3:31 gears) date code = 0627G1 - June 27, 1970 Detroit Gear plant, first shift and is the original, born with rear end

Trim Tag = Build date 07C- Third week of July 1970–

**This is a very late built 1970 Trans Am! It's PHS ship date is August 24, 1970.**

Paint code = 26 – Lucerne Blue

Interior Trim code = 201 – bright blue standard interior

Wheel codes = JW date code on all 4 wheels is March 5, 1970 - they are the correct, born with, JW Code Rally II wheels

The 1970 only alternator brackets, power steering pump, pulley and brackets are still on the car.

The correct 1970 only thermostat housing is still on the car.

The correct, original, thin lip shaker hood scoop is still on the car.

The correct, original metal lower valance is still on the car.

I have over $12,000 in receipts including the following service items that were replaced. Many of the original parts, where applicable, are included with the car:

Transmission rebuilt with shift kit and new converter

Rear end rebuilt

Air Conditioning system rebuilt and converted to R134

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
