The next breathtaking classic in our Fairfield showroom is this gorgeous 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am 2 Door Coupe with white exterior paint, blue racing stripes and a black vinyl interior.

Period Correct L74-Code 400 cid Ram Air III Engine
This 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is highly coveted as the second generation of the model line and the final year to feature the desirable L74-code 400ci Ram Air III engine with 345 horsepower with a 12-bolt rear axle. Many call it the last true muscle car to roll off Pontiac’s assembly lines for several decades. This particular example appears to be highly original throughout as a highly optioned muscle car that’s received excellent care throughout its life. Unfortunately, we do not have ample documentation so we have no idea if it’s numbers-matching or not. We can tell you that the Ram Air III motor does appear period-correct and in excellent working condition.
Additionally, this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is in typical driver-level condition with some slight blemishes to the exterior. It has been repainted once over a decade ago and still shines nicely in person with some visible imperfections. The factory interior is super clean though and makes an instant impression- all the factory gauges are working properly and the seating/carpeting looks great. The engine compartment is also highly original in appearance in typical driver quality. This one isn’t quite show quality today but it wouldn’t take much to get it there.
In terms of performance, this 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Coupe is a real muscle car with fantastic acceleration and plenty of torque to get the job done. The suspension and handling are also impressive with a very nice ride quality.
Very Nice Condition w/ Exceptional Street Performance
Overall, this rare 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a fantastic, highly optioned muscle car that is highly original in appearance. You won’t find a more impressive example anywhere at the current asking price.
