Re: Trans Ams

I will say that 70's are like our 67's. Lots of little one year only items. Many of them hard to find nowadays if your wanting a concours restoration. The 71-73's are not as bad for that but there are some differences.

Here's a link to the PY boards 70-73 thread if your interested in diving that deep down the rabbit hole.

Here's another site where you can explore all the 2nd gen factory options.

I have a 72 base model bird that is being restomoded it will look similar to raggedjim's when done. It was a mutt when I bought it and it will still be one when I finish but know one will give me grief about incorrectly restoring a Trans Am.

One way to go is find a like a 77 V6 car swap in a V8 and an early front clip and you have a lower entry fee.

And if I could have driven one off the lot in the day it would have been a 70 RAIV four speed with no power accessories in white.
