Picture #210 to #214

#210 At the time I had the Trans Am on the road I didn't like the sitting on the ground feeling so I remove the 2 front seats . bolted eight 3/8"x2" long nuts to the floor. On top of the 3/8"x2" long nuts I used a 3/8 washer and cover the nut/washer with a spray can cap,a black one that I made a 3/8 hole in it . bolted the 2 front seats on the of the nuts/washer/cap to raise the seats by 2" and what a difference in the feel of the Trans Am . I'm about 5'8" tall so to me it was the perfect setting ,head about 1" away from the headliner .

Picture #213,#214 remove the lock knobs and covered the holes with the little caps that are used to cover the screw on the kitchen or bathroom taps

Summer of 2010

Ordered my PHS and received it in May Check it out and was really disappointed,because no mention of rims (honeycombs or rally's) also transmission option was not mention even do I knew it was a auto. Two weeks later received my window sticker and on that it said transmission was 4-speed close-ratio or a auto transmission and for the rims it said 15" rally II wheels w/trim rings. OK so I purchase a set of 4-15" rally II rims at a swap meet in Ottawa, rims code JJ for pretty cheap , the guy mention the rims came from a Catalina or something like that. I know it not the proper rims for that car but before I spend that much money for the wheel I'll get the Trans Am almost finish . Also on all the papers it said Trans Am shipped to Oshawa plant ,I was hoping to find out what dealership it was shipped to

June 2010

In mid July 2010 ordered the GM of Canada package and received it within 2 weeks . Gm of Canada has a lot more info (codes) then the one for PHS so if you're car was shipped to Canada it is worth the $60 cdn for it . THe first page as all info to get in touch with GM of Canada, phone # or fax # or email

When I received the GM package this one confirm that my Trans Am came with a 3 speed auto and that the rims are honeycombs ,like what the hell!!! So I call GM of Canada and talk to the person in charge and he recheck the info I received. He said all info is right because when the cars are shipped to Canada they redo the invoices so everything is in canadian dollars . I though of this for about a week and decided to email PHS to ask why the difference in paperwork, he also said that he send the proper info also . He also mention that in 72 the no charge option for the rims and trans and that PHS could not tell if those option were on or not ,so if PHS can't tell what was on the car why is it mention on the window sticker that unless specified the following items are standard on this model and it mention 15" rally II wheels w/trim rings. SO I have a window sticker that may be right or may be wrong but I pay for it . How could PHS sells info that may be right or may be wrong. I ask PHS to redo the window sticker so it said the car came with rally or honeycomb same as mention for the transmission auto or stick and his respond was the programming in the printing machine will not let them modify it but it able to mention the 2 transmission option so he send me aletter to explain it ,last pic

So with all of this I still don't know what wheels my Trans Am had new hoping that this resto somehow the billsheet will appear

It came with honeycombs.

GM Canada has more detailed records regarding this stuff -- believe them.

All PHS has is the invoice, and since the transmission and wheels were no cost options, they weren't on the invoice. So PHS doesn't know.

As for the recreation window sticker PHS makes...the original window sticker would have listed "Turbo Hydramatic Trans" along with the other options listed down below, but there would have been no charge for it in the far right column. But since PHS records don't tell them which trans it had... they can't get that part of it correct.

Check the bolt pattern on the ralley wheels, your car is a 4 1/2 on 5" . Those may be the bigger 5 on 5.

His car should be 5on4.75... not 5on4.5.

As stated, the rallys you purchased could very well be 5on5 if they came from a Catalina. You may want to measure the pattern prior to restoring them.
