My old 1970 Trans Am was built in the Van Nuys plant during the second week of April 1970 (04B). The original block was dated January 20, 1970 (A200) and the original M20 trans was dated April 2nd (P0D02A). The shipping date was May 11, 1970.

Seems like a good chance the car is still out there.

I wonder if the 112586 car is one that I owned in the early 1980s. Is CC white?
In 1982, I bought an ultra-low option 1970 Trans Am from a guy that lived outside of Hendersonville, NC. I was living near Charlotte NC at the time, about 90 miles away. Hendersonville is about 20 miles from Asheville. The car was white 4-spd w/ 3.55 gears, black standard interior, console, and tinted windshield only. I especially remember the glass, because I wondered if the windshield had been replaced because it was the only tinted glass on the car. I owned that car before I knew Pontiac would send build sheets out, so I never had a PHS. That T/A had been rode hard and put up wet before I got it. The original engine had been replaced with a later model T/A engine, but it still had the 12-bolt. It had rust starting in it, and that was 40 years ago. I didn't have it long. About six months later, I found another 1970 T/A (also with the incorrect engine) that was in better shape and had a much stronger drivetrain. I sold the first T/A at either Autofair or the old Metrolina Car show at the old Charlotte Fairgrounds . I think it went out of state, but I don't remember where it went. |

FYI those seats are deluxe - which should be on PHS if they were original.

The dash doesn't have the grab bar, so the seats are probably redone/replaced.
The CC is for white. Was a radio standard on the TA?

My 1970 Formula was a low option car. It listed Radio-P/B as a $61 option.
I have the original window sticker for my 1970 T/A. The AM radio was also listed as a $61 option. So I'm guessing it had a radio delete plate installed and no radio. The white 1970 4-spd I owned in 1982 had an aftermarket radio. I don't remember if it had a windshield antenna or aftermarket. That's been a long time ago. |

My '70 did not have a radio when new. When I purchased it it had an AM radio installed. Nothing listed on the documents I have shows a radio listed.

Mine had a radio as an option on the PHS. Right now the only station I get is WRA3.

I believe that the radio was always a cost option;
I held off on posting incase anyone might have had something more substanciated to share. I had come to understand that the early cars always came with a windshield with the embedded arial even if a radio wasn't ordered; I have been told that the windshield in the mid(?) 1970's changed with the radio option, because cars were being ordered without a radio when people got wind that the arial was already in the car - after that point I believe that a car being ordered without a radio, could have had a radio accomidation package so that an antenna didn't need to be added to a fender (or the quarter panel).

Yep - any radio would have been an extra cost option. With no radio called out on the PHS, the car would have been delivered with a block off plate.

I heard that's a good station. I live on the east coast but my friend lives in Portland and he told me about it.

Thanks again for all of the great replies. Since the car that my WS motor once belonged to seems to be long gone, I will rebuild the motor and enjoy it! Dave
