1970 Firebird Trans Am

This car has never left its original owners.

  • A daily driver for many years
  • Revive it, not to completely 100-percent restored
  • Enhance the car with a few mild modifications

The all-new 2nd generation Firebird

When the Pontiac Division stylists were given the job to create an all-new 2nd generation Firebird they wanted to make sure the car would incorporate that certain "Pontiac personality" that gave the division its own unique position in the marketplace.

The "long hood, short deck" theme was incorporated in the basic shape with long doors, big side glass and no quarter windows were given to the car, and in the case of the Firebird, a lowered stance all around. The end result was a body shape that was very fluid, wild, and futuristic, while at the same time simple and clean.

The Trans Am had distinct differences from the other Firebirds, when you saw the one coming down the road, there clearly was no mistaking it for a lesser model. And in 1970, they came in only two color choices: Polar White with blue stripes, and Lucerne Blue with white stripes.  

A Southern California couple purchased this 1970 Trans Am brand new in early 1970 and the car was driven as a daily driver for many years since. They chose the automatic transmission so to make it easier for his wife to operate. The car was always well maintained and taken good care of, albeit was slightly abused once their teenage sons got their driver's licenses and did a bit of street racing with it.
