Strikingly Iconic 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Ram Air IV
The next amazing classic up for grabs in our Fairfield showroom is
this gorgeous 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2 Door Hardtop with
factory correct Lucerne Blue exterior paint (26/26) and a black
vinyl interior (208) with bucket seating. You'll find a factory
true L67 Ram Air IV 400 cid V-8 engine with a matching M-20 four
speed manual transmission and 3.73:1 Posi traction on a 12-bolt
rear end. This incredibly rare '70 Trans Am has a mere 73,704
lifetime miles on the odometer and it has been fully restored back
to glorious like-new condition throughout. With excellent lifetime
documentation and PHS certification, there's simply no guessing on
this incredible muscle car.
Built Exclusively for Pontiac Motor Division as
aManufacturerDemo
The current owner of this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Hardtop is
the 5th to enjoy it and he has provided us extensive lifetime
documentation to tell this special classic's story. It was special
ordered by Pontiac Motor Division dated July 24th, 1970 on the
manifest, built on Norwood, Ohio and was used as a promotional
vehicle to showcase Pontiac's most impressive muscle car to date.
It was moved around the country for special events during the first
six months of its lifetime and was eventually put up for sale at
Scotti Pontiac in Rochester, New York.
Over the next 20 years, this rare 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
changed ownership a few additional times and was painted white-
which the 4th owner felt was a travesty for such a special vehicle.
Only 88 Ram Air IV examples were built in 1970 and of the 59
4-speed units built only 6 were painted in Lucerne Blue with only
three believed to still be in existence today. The 4th owner
brought it to C.A.R.S of Pittsburgh in October of 2001 and returned
this classic back to factory perfection during a year-long
rotisserie restoration. There was some minor rust found during the
restoration and it was repaired properly with steel- everything
else on this amazing vehicle is either new, rebuilt or
refurbished.
It's also worth pointing out that during the rotisserie
restoration, the factory motor was rebuilt with Super Duty rods and
it was balanced as well. PHS documentation shows that the Ram Air
IV engine, the 614 heads, the 4bbl Ram Air IV carburetor,
distributor, transmission and the rest of the drivetrain are 100%
numbers-matching, including the 3.73 Posi-traction and the 12-bolt
rear end. We have extensive documentation of the entire restoration
plus original paperwork, parts lists, etc. This is honestly the
closest we've ever seen an example of this caliber reaching true
perfection.
Fully PHS Documented & Rotisserie Restored in 2002
In terms of present condition, this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
Hardtop is absolutely breathtaking with an immaculate, blemish-free
exterior and sensational paint. The exterior of this amazing
classic muscle car would qualify as "museum quality" since the
glass, trim, chrome work and the rest of the exterior are like-new
in condition. Factory wheels and an immaculate undercarriage make
this muscle car all the more impressive.
A look under the hood of this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am
Hardtop will truly bring you back in time with a spotless engine
compartment and an engine block that appears to have just rolled
off the factory floor. True to its build, this '70 Trans Am is a
sensational performance vehicle with awe-inspiring acceleration,
great handling and simply a dominant feel on the open road. You
won't hear a single squeak or rattle cruising the highway at 70 MPH
thanks to the phenomenal build quality during the complete
restoration. Of note, apparently the powers to be at Pontiac Motor
Division ordered this car to be built without the factory rear sway
bar. We can only assume that the Marketing People wanted to put the
tire smoking capabilities of this rare RAM AIR IV Trans Am on full
display to impress the automotive journalists writing about this
beast.
As you'd expect, the interior of this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans
Am Hardtop is just as impressive as the rest of this vehicle with
fully restored seating, gauges, door panels and flooring.
Interestingly enough, this example did not come from the factory
with a front console and that's how it has been restored as well.
Every single aspect of this classic muscle car has been
meticulously brought back to factory perfection and it belongs in a
prestigious collection.
Possibly the Most Sought After Example in Existence
Overall, this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Hardtop may be the
most pristine, original example for sale nationwide and having a
life history of its travels brings it to an entirely different
level. A similar example in white brought well over $300k at
auction last year, so this is an outstanding investment that will
continue to appreciate in value. Don't wait- come see this
incredible muscle car for yourself today!
