1970 Pontiac Trans am, RAIII 400 4 barrel, TH 400 Auto, manual windows, air conditioning, tilt wheel, Polar white exterior with Lucerne blue interior, built in Norwood Ohio and lived in the Midwest all of it's life. I have owned this car for 26 years and I am the third owner. I listed the car last year but after several failed buyer attempts I decided to keep it. I have now decided to list one more time in the interest of freeing up garage space. I disassembled this car in 1991 to start a full restoration but that's where it ended. I have realized that I will probably never get back to restoring so here it is. I love this car and I sincerely hope I can sell it to someone who wants to restore it right and bring this car back to life. The world just doesn't have enough 70 TA's. Total production for 1970 was 3,196 and 1,339 Automatics which are actually rarer than 4 spds. This is also an original Air conditioning car which makes it even rarer yet.
The body has some rust issues but is pretty solid overall. The rear quarter panels have been replaced with non OEM replacements however they fit just like the originals, the rear wheelhouses have been replaced with OEM GM outer wheelhouses. The rocker panels and front subframe are solid. The hood and decklid are in great shape, the rear fiberglass tail panel is MIA and the lower tailpanel has some rust holes, The rear frame rails are rusty and the original gas tank is rusty, The doors are excellent rust free, the left fender needs a lower patch and the right fender is pretty solid, Floor pans are pretty solid with one quarter size hole on the left side and the trunk floor is pretty solid as well with a quarter size hole as well. The front radiator support is rusty. The front euro nose is great and the lower front valance is solid. There is also a small hole in the upper rear window channel and the corners of the dash support are rusty( like all of them).
The interior is nice and original.. Seats are nice, carpet is shot, headliner is very nice, dash has small repairable surface defect by left knee area, Original console is very nice, original plastic panels are nice, original gages, dash plate, chrome gage bezels, original am/fm stereo, original door panels in good shape, original formula steering wheel, It's all there.
The original block has a damaged cylinder wall but repairable, excellent #12 heads, orig. intake, shaker w/operable door, orig,carb, distributor, RA111 manifolds, wiring harness all there. Suspension is still intact and car will roll, Trans and rear end have never been out of car, 5 original rally II wheels all there, I have many new parts incl. complete decal package NIB purchased in 1991. My cell is 309-287-4963.. The car is at my home in Illinois, I will try to answer all questions and I'm open to offers.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
