With the introduction of the second-generation Firebird, the 1970 Pontiac Trans Am came into its own as a bare-knuckles brawler. Functional spoilers and vents abounded, while super-tough underpinnings and quickened steering gave it corner-hungry handling. The 1970 Pontiac Trans Am's standard engine, the 345-horsepower Ram Air 400-cid V-8, furnished low-14-second elapsed times at the dragstrip. The Trans Am’s engine breathed through a new rear-facing shaker scoop designed to capture cool ambient air flowing over the hood. A four-speed transmission with Hurst shifter was standard; the Turbo Hydra-matic automatic was optional. The 1970 Pontiac Trans Am's road manners received much attention. The padded Formula steering wheel directed quick 12.1:1 variable-ratio power steering. Stiffer springs and heavy-duty front and rear sway bars teamed with Polyglas F60X15 tires on Rally II wheels. Standard 10.9-inch power front disc brakes and 9.5-inch rear drums did the stopping. The 1970 Pontiac Trans Am wore the same impact-absorbing snout as other Firebirds, but Pontiac said its unique front air dam and fender air extractors created 50 pounds of downforce on the nose at expressway speeds. It claimed equal downforce to the tail from a big decklid lip and small spoilers in front of the rear wheels. Inside, complete instrumentation was standard and included a tachometer turned on its side to redline at 12 o'clock, just like in a real race car.Critics were impressed. Car and Driver called the 1970 Pontiac Trans Am "a hard muscled, lightning-flexed commando of a car, the likes of which doesn't exist anywhere in the world, even for twice the price." 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans AmFact Sheet - By The Numbers VIN # 228870N122912Trim Tag Info: ST70 22387 N 738019 BDY TR 228 26 26 PNT 06A WS4 Body Build Date: 06A (1st Week Of Production June, 1970)Style: 22387 WS4 (Firebird Trans Am)Trim: 228 (Black Deluxe With Cloth Inserts)Paint: 26 (Lucerne Blue) Engine Casting: 9799914 (400ci)Engine Stamp: 0585920 WS (Ram Air III 4-Speed) VIN Stamp: 29N122912 (Norwood Factory Mis-Stamp/Anomaly)Engine Casting Date Code: E 19 0 (May 19, 1970) Transmission Date Code: P0E25A (May 25, 1970 M20 Wide-Ratio) VIN Stamp: 20N122912 Rear Axle Stamp Code: COU 0505 G (3.31 Ratio, May 5, 1970) Cylinder Head Casting Codes: 12 (L74 Ram Air III)Cylinder Head Casting Date Codes: D220 Left & D280 Right (April 22/28, 1970) Intake Manifold Casting Code: 9799068 Date Code: L199 (December 19, 1969) Rochester Quadrajet Carb: 7040273 WC 1270 (Ram Air III 4-Speed, 127th Day 1970) Alternator: 1100903 55A 0E8 (May 8, 1970) Wheels/Rims: JW Rally II (Including Spare) Glass Windshield: AS1 XT (February, 1970)Glass Rear Window: AS2 LT (March, 1970)Glass Side Door: AS2 GT Both Sides (April, 1970) Original MSRP $5,058.31 Sold New On June 15, 1970 To Richard N.
