1970 Trans Am Lucerne Blue Numbers Match
I am listing this car for a good friend. His contact information is at the bottom of this ad.
The ebay link is here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pontiac-Tran...US_Cars_Trucks 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 New shocks and leaf springs New master cylinder and brake booster New brake lines Carburetor rebuilt (The carburetor is not original to the car) New alternator New radiator New driver and passenger window glass with regulators New chrome on rear bumper, window trim, head light bezels Petronix ignition conversion New plugs, wires, cap, coil New headlights Rebuilt clock New tires New battery Added sub frame connectors Detailed photos, including photos showing all of the VIN stamps, date codes and photos of the cars documentation, will be sent on request via email. Serious buyers can inspect the car in person, by appointment, in Port Neches, Texas. All documentation, spare parts, and contact information of previous owners will be provided to the buyer. There are 24 photos in the ebay ad. For more information or additional photos, contact Jimmy via email at: [email protected] $60,000

Not to pile the love on too deep, but I have driven/rode in this car many times and it is top shelf. I have always been impressed by how tight and solid it is.....rolling down the freeway @ 75, a/c blowing cold and it is rock solid. There are no squeaks or rattles, just a very pleasant driver. I question Jimmy's sanity for selling it.

"The correct 1970 only thermostat housing is still on the car."
Looks like the 71 and later style, am I wrong? |

Why does the hood stripe look crooked behind the shaker? The black is thinner on the passenger side. Wrong shroud and M/C including the color. Still a great looking car though and small things are easy to fix. I like it.

Car was hit in the mid 70s and the pass fender and hood were replaced. Not sure about the hood stripe, May be something with the pic, I don't recall the stripe being crooked. I may see the car this afternoon and I'll ck it out.

The 455HO decals were put on for the shoot so the 455HO letters could be used in the promotion. I had no idea the shaker was angled enough that they would show up in the overhead shot as prominently as they did. Pretty cool right! Anyway, Jimmy pulled the decals off within seconds of us calling the photoshoot a wrap, LOL.

Thermostat housing and RF fender,as previously pointed out.......replacement alternator,later style cap on washer jug and I think I spotted some rust on the exhaust pipes.......... I don't feel that these things really detract from the quality of the car,but may be reflected in the actual selling price.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
