Never notice this before:
The P.O.P. shows dealer codes 12 459 and the PHS shows 12 089?  Any ideas what that means? (Buick dealer number was 12 529)

 True dat. Possibly it was not sold until very, very late and sold through the 459 dealer? (but doesn't show it was a zone car) Or it was the second owner who had the P.O.P?

John, this is probably a vehicle transfer to the other dealership. It was most likely purchased by the dealer shown on the invoice, then at some point a trade was worked out with the other dealer that had a customer wanting the car.

When decoding the P.O.P., we see the purchaser was the original owner (A1) and it had 15 miles on the odometer when it was first delivered on 1-11-71.
It's difficult to say exactly why the dealer code on the PHS and P.O.P. vary, but if I had to guess, I'd say that when we consider that the 1970 Trans Am in question only had 15 miles on it by 1-11-71, it probably sat on the lot or showroom at Burlingame Pontiac in Eldon, Missouri (hometown of our own Carbking!) as opposed to being a demo. At some point it was dealer-sold or dealer-traded to number 12-459 (wherever that may be!) where T.W. Broyles of Forsyth, Missouri purchased it, likely as a previous model year leftover. Also, we must remember that GM had a nasty 67-day strike in Fall 1970 and that limited vehicle availability. When production finally resumed on a mass scale, it wasn't until the 1971 calendar year that the backlog of dealer orders were filled and new orders were accepted, so it's very likely that 1971 Trans Ams were not readily available and a dealer trade was the only way to fill an order for a customer looking to purchase a new Trans Am at that time. |

Here's another. You'd think they could've straightened out the horn cap before taking all those fancy retouched pictures.

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.
