Vehicle Description 1970 TRANS AM RAM AIR III 400 ci ******4 SPEED 1 of 48 made******

Vin number 228870L106253

This 1970 Pontiac Trans Am built in the Van Nuys plant is a notable example of classic American muscle cars. This particular model stands out due to its rarity and unique features. It is one of only 48 units produced that year with both a four-speed manual transmission and factory-installed AIR CONDIONING, which was an uncommon combination at the time.

The car’s exterior is finished in Polar White, a color that enhances its bold and clean look, while the bright blue interior adds a striking contrast, creating an eye-catching aesthetic. The 1970 Trans Am featured a 400 cubic inch (6.6L) Ram Air III V8 engine, capable of producing 345 horsepower. This engine, paired with the four-speed manual transmission, provided an exhilarating driving experience, making it highly desirable among performance enthusiasts.

Other distinctive features of the 1970 Trans Am include the iconic "shaker" hood scoop, which was functional and allowed for improved air intake to the engine, as well as the aerodynamic front and rear spoilers, and the unique Trans Am decals and striping. Note they didn’t come with any decals on scoop form

Produced at the Van Nuys assembly plant in California, this car embodies a piece of automotive history, reflecting both the muscle car era's peak and Pontiac's commitment to combining performance with style.

The 1970 Pontiac Trans Am from the Van Nuys plant you described is an exceptional example of a well-preserved and highly original muscle car. This particular vehicle is documented as a two-owner car, which often suggests careful maintenance and preservation. The original (weathered) window sticker accompanying the vehicle adds significant value and authenticity, providing verifiable provenance and details about the car's original specifications and features. Two partial buildsheets are also with vehicle. And the phs paperwork as well.

Retaining all its original sheet metal and the "born with" driveline—meaning it still has its factory-installed engine, transmission, and other critical components—enhances the car's originality and desirability among collectors. With only 49,000 original miles, the vehicle demonstrates relatively low usage for its age, which often correlates with less wear and better overall condition.

The show-quality condition of the car indicates meticulous care and professional restoration to maintain its appearance and functionality to a high standard. The fact that the air conditioning system still blows ice cold and uses the original R12 refrigerant is a testament to the car's well-preserved state. R12 refrigerant, no longer produced due to environmental regulations, can be difficult to maintain, so its presence suggests careful upkeep.

The rare 7040573 California AC four-speed carburetor still being in place is particularly noteworthy. This specific carburetor was designed to meet California’s stricter emission standards while still delivering performance, and finding one intact adds to the car’s rarity and historical accuracy.

Overall, this 1970 Polar White Trans Am with a bright blue interior is an exceptional piece of automotive history. Its combination of rare options, well-documented history, preserved original components, and show-quality condition make it a highly desirable collector's item.
