1970 Pontiac Firebird

Few cars in the history of the autoverse are capable of turning heads quite as violently as a car like this fantastic 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. Decked out in a gorgeous Polar White and full-length blue center stripe, this numbers-matching top-tier Firebird is one of just 3,108 models made for this year with a Ram Air III V-8 (more on that in a moment). With its bulging shaker hood, vintage Rally wheels, and unmistakable decklid spoiler, this Trans Am is a stunning example of what a first-year Gen 2 looks like. Inside, we find a stock and correct-looking black vinyl interior. Matching bucket seats separated by a center console allow an expansive view of the seven-pod gauge cluster spanning most of the dashboard. The Firebird's signature 'tic-toc-tach' sitting front and center of the three-spoke steering wheel gives you a rough idea of just how fast this boulevard bruiser really is. Under the hood sits a numbers-matching 400 cubic-inch Ram Air III V-8, which, when new, pumped out an impressive 345 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. This motor is topped with a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor that feeds into an Edelbrock intake manifold. An H-pipe dual-exhaust setup capped off with a set of sweet-sounding MagnaFlow mufflers that give this Trans Am the old-school rumble that brings a smile to the faces of anyone within earshot. Those ponies are routed through a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission, of which only 1,339 cars were made with this powertrain combination.

The front 235/65R-15 Cooper Radial G/T tires are aided by a power booster, while a 12-bolt rear sends power out to a matching set at the rear. Front discs and rear drums are also power-assisted, allowing this Trans Am to be comfortable even on long road trips. Even more comforting is the included build sheet and Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) report, giving this Firebird all the provenance any collector could ask for.
