70 Firebird project, decode the vin and trim tag ?
I have a prospect on a 1970 Firebird. I am waiting for the trim tag info. He is a Ford guy and picked this up, but wants to play with ponies instead.

Re: 70 Firebird project, decode the vin and trim t
fax that vin to PHS and for 55.00 you will have all the info you need. with the Pontiac's it is one heck of a great tool to have. for 10.00 extra they will fax you back the info within 1 hour.

Re: 70 Firebird project, decode the vin and trim t
you mean the whole core support is wrong for the car? It is obviously an a/c car. I just figure if it came with a 12 bolt and still has it, the car is worth what he wants for it in just parts.
I don't wanna spend $55 on a car that I may not even get.

What do you think a restoration will cost? More than $55. Spend the 2 bucks now to find out what you are buying.

My point is, I just wanted some general info without doing the PHS. I used PHS on my 69 GTO, not doubt a great service. But I am not going to dump the money on every pontiac prospect.

Re: 70 Firebird project, decode the vin and trim t
if you get the info off the cowl tag you can narrow it down. Was it a manual trans??

Re: 70 Firebird project, decode the vin and trim t
By the VIN # you posted, it's a base Firebird. The BOP 12-bolt was only available in the 70 Trans Am, and it's quite rare. Did the guy say it had a 12-bolt?
