What an incredible car to start the New Year Lou… doesn’t get any better than that Ram Air IV ! Sweet !

This is arguably the greatest Pontiac ever built and Pontiac built tons of great muscle cars. Why more people didn't order them in blue is amazing to me. Trans Ams are gorgeous in this color.

That car is absolutely amazing! Great build, one can tell owner is really proud of that baby!

Even though I own a 67 Firebird, the 70 trans am has always been my favorite-thanks for the video

What a beautiful 70!! A Pontiac dream!!

my long time friend jeff peterson had one of these in the early 70s. same color outside but black interior with a 4 speed trans. he just recently passed away. this is for you my dear friend. RIP jeff.

The great GM division of Pontiac in their early days made some beautiful Pontiac cars 😀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍❤

What a gorgeous automotive work of art.

My gawd, that might just be one of the nicest looking cars I've ever seen. 😲

What an absolutely dedication to the restoration! I have always loved this generation of Trans Ams mainly because I was a teenager during these years and Trans Ams were very plentiful! I’ve never seen a Ram Air IV before, but you are absolutely correct…What a beautiful blue all the way through! Thanks Lou & Barry for a wonderful New Years Day presentation!

that front end is flawless. What a way to start 2022. Great job Lou.

Never mind the rev!...ohhh that lumpy Poncho idle. Total bad-ass!

Absolutely beautiful TA. Unfortunately the interviewer didn’t quite realize what he was looking at. Ram Air IV Trans Am is god tier of collectibility

Agree with Barry: Lucerne Blue is stunning. Great car, Lou

I really like when the shaker dances when he steps on the accelerator 👍👍

Beautiful Trans-Am! Back in the early 1990's my friend had a 1979 Trans-Am and we cut out the Shaker scoop block off plate and made it functional and boy if that didn't open the car up to its full 1979 potential.

Best looking firebird ever produced in my opinion.

Pontiac hit some real home runs in the late 60's and early 70's. This owner is the right guy for this car. He knows what he has.

my favorite TA's from 1968-1973, the best ones ever made! thanx lou

Amazing car!! Five years ago I passed on a ‘70 TA that was a blue 4 speed with air conditioner. Biggest mistake of my life!! Love the ‘70 Trans Am!

I had a 1970 firebird 350 in 1980 Lou. transplanted a 428 Bonneville engine and turbo 400 into it. that car was a blast! thanks for the video!

The dashboard. We used to call that fish scale. Reminds me of the molding on the 1964 Plymouth sport fury. Great restoration thanks Lou

Absolutely gorgeous car. That is my dream Trans Am. I wish it came with a 4 spd manual. And sitting next to an even rarer '69 Trans Am.

Magnificent car! There's nothing like a RAIV idle. Yep.

What a beautiful Trans Am! Great restoration! The interior is factory fresh. I’ve seen the Ram Air IV before but never a stripe package like that. What a wonderful caretaker for this legend. I couldn’t help but notice a similar Trans Am in the background. Looks like a great show.

BEAUTIFUL PONTIAC TRANS AM MY FAVORITE COLOR SHE'S GORGEOUS 💯🇺🇲✌️THAT ENGINE SAYS IT ALL👍

I have a 1970 Formula 400, auto, red with Red interior and a white vinyl top , I will never sell it and it will stay in the family for us to show and drive and enjoy , always wisher I had bought a Trans am but they are way to expensive today for me to even think about , and I am very happy with my Formula 400

One of the coolest cars of the era, likely the coolest domestic. And a Great job Lou!

I love the engine turned dash

love this thing and sounds great

Great old Poncho, Lou!

1972 I owned a 70 formula 400 same color of blue. My favorite car.

I love this generation T/A. Blue/Blue is beautiful. Very knowledgeable owner. Thank you both for sharing .

Thanks, Lou & Team…. a Special TA….flashback to my second New Car ; “1977 TA/ Hurst Hatch/SPECIAL ED ,loaded, “that we ORDERED in OCT 1976.!! My Family had many years of Trans Am Driving…..too.

Now that's a good way to start off the new year love the blue and 70 is the best looking oned

Love that one. Ram air IV so rare.

Blue Lou strikes again! (remember “Blue Lou Marino” from “the Blues Brothers”? That’s what you are to the vintage car world! You add all “the tasty bits”) Peace - and Happy New Year!

He has every right to be so proud. Beautiful Trans Am.

When he starts it I swear it's like liquid ecstacy or something goddamn that's a beautiful car

I werry love Pontiac firebird trans am 🥰❤️❤️❤️

Nice Trans Am and sounds great too! Noticed the sticker price was more than a 1970 Hemicuda!

Simply....The Trans Ams of Trans Ams. I'm happy for all that have n' take care of em' (because maybe I'll buy one from them one day? Lol wishful thinking) thank you charismatic Lou as always Sir.

A stunning resto on this car. Love the Lucy blue, over the white. The dealers didn't check off the automatic tranny block, cause most people with 2 legs prefered the stick, back then. Especially with the RAIV.

This guy is obsessed with this car . Must have been a hard 32K miles to have to restore it . Nice one Lou . HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Another great car, and a great caretaker. Here's a guy not afraid to take those extra steps to put things right again. Hats off to him (and the people at home who support him.)

Wish I'd gotten one back in high school. I remember it being $1500 in 1993-1994.

Love that Classic Firebird and TA body style!!

Goodday Lou, Thank you for showing a video of mine absolute dream machine Pontiac. So much so I chased down for 4 months a 1:18 Diecast Model of this exact Pontiac. Same colour, same interior same everything & to see one in the flrsh is amazing. Rare Bird extremely rare bird what's not to love. Your number 1 Fan in Australia Louis Kats from Melbourne Australia ☺ 👍 ❤

That Firebird was restored beautifully. And 20 years for just the interior is amazing story. Thank you for sharing! Happy New Year!🎆

Always been a Pontiac fan beautiful

Happy New Year, Lou! It's amazing what this guy did to put together the interior of this car. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful Trans Am!!!

Beautiful T/A ! Great color ! Beautifully restored ! Thanks Lou !

What an awesome and rare Pancho!

Absolutely beautiful! The cars from that era sound so good. I pulled up to a rousch mustang awhile back and the guy was revving the engine. The exhaust sounded tinny. I thought what a shame. The old muscle cars had a sound. You could hear the horsepower! Keep ‘em comin!

Amazing car to ring in the new year Lou.... I love that classic Pontiac nose, rims, a great spoiler, unique stripe, and classi color.... reminds me of one of my favorite Hot wheels from childhood. Thanks for featuring this one!!!!

Big Lou I see ya doing your thing as usual great content as always keep on doing it big Lou 👍👍👍

He drives it 😳 tell me why we can't have world peace but this thing of perfection exists such a crazy crazy world

😍 💙 😈 OMG Lou. It's incredible. A very meticulous restoration. 10/10! My fav color! What a way to start of the New Year! 🏆

Lou again. The best

A great find! You did it again Lou! Thanks again for a fantastic car!

nice bro. I love the blue. I always see the white with blue stripe, now it's the blue with white stripe. nicest T/A ever

Beautiful T/A! This pristine Pontiac is a time capsule. HAPPY NEW YEAR. All the best to you and your family. GREAT VIDEO LOU

One of the best looking cars ever made thanks Lou ps can ask engine size more often. Thanks again keep knocking them out

nice piece Lou you done it again

Happy New Year, Lou! This '70 Trans Am looks fantastic in Lucerne Blue! I agree the white stripe & black trim really sets it apart from the pack. Of course that Ram Air 400 V-8 does as well... Thanks, Lou!

Awesome as always Lou! Fantastic 70 Trans Am!

Amazing Pontiac!! Happy New Year, Mr Lou!!

I love that blue. I would love to have that

Lou my favorite muscle car 👍👍

Good on ya Lou. Not only is it a early 2nd Gen. It is a '70 R/A IV the very best of em all!

The 1970 Pontiac Trans Am had such a cool look to it with that big wide open split grill, fender scoops, wheelwell flares, spoilers and that iconic shaker hood scoop!!! This one is stunning in blue and really cool that the firebird had not yet been on full display covering the hood, but was a nice size and tastefully depicted on the nose of the car along with the stripes. A very stunning example of the 1970 Trans Am and beautiful restoration. Happy New Year!!!

This was a wonderful start to the new year! Thanks for taking the time to do this! Happy New Year!

I'm a blue car fan too Lou. Thanks for keeping our muscle car generation alive.

Another awesome video and a sweet GM. Happy New Year

Beautiful Trans Am, Lou!😁😀 I have a 1:24 scale die cast model of this car in this color, Lucerne Blue, but the model is a 72 455 H. O. Version! Nice video!😁😀

Happy New Year Lou! Looking forward seeing more fantastic cats this year! More Buicks too!

That’s what I’m talking about! Starting the new year off with my DREAM CAR! Happy New Year Lou! 🥳👍🏾🤟🏾😎🙏🏾🎆😆

Great video Lou

That's what it would have looked like at the dealership. Beautiful car 😍 Thanks Lou!

Beautiful car, Love the blue color

Happy New Year Lou! Beautiful 50 year old Firebird. Nice!! when I was stationed in the Philippines in '75 to'77 I had a friend that had a '70 Firebird. It was dark blue. NOT a Trans-AM...Can't remember what engine the car had but it was an automatic....Thanks for posting Lou. May our Lord bless you & your family throughout this year! Thanks for posting.

Great show brother Lou

Lou kept on saying "Glorious"........I agree. Nice one Lou. happy new year.

I love 💗 that and the color and RAM AIR IV.

Thank You Lou

Nice Pontiac! Happy New Year Lou!

Wow!! The first day in 2022 and you show mee my dream car. What a wonderfull restoration and what a great typical Pontiac sound. I'm a big trans am fan, had ones a 1972 tranny, but sold it 25 years ago. Now I have a 1978, but the day I can offort me a 70 1/2-73 model I'll do it! Thanks Lou, you gave me again adrenaline💪. Yhe best wishes for 2022 and keep on coming your nice reviews. Cheers from France!

Awesome TA for the New Year!

Hi, Lou! Happy New Year! I think Bobby Vinton would agree it looks like this channel is off to a blue on blue start with this rare 'Bird! With that Ram Air IV I can imagine what the ride in this car would have been like had you been able to do one, but having done well amidst all the noisy competition I think the engine and rev sounds gave us a pretty good clue of it! These early Trans Ams started off selling a few thousand a year as the Seventies began, but by the other end of the decade it was the best-selling Firebird and one of the great superstar cars of the era! Of course, Burt Reynolds no doubt had a great part in making that happen! Anyway, many thanks to both of you for showing off this awesome and legendary Pontiac masterpiece to ring in 2022!

Nice, the cam sounds pretty healthy.

What an amazing car ,Such a beautiful color as well... I remember growing up in that era and the only colors I remember and I could be wrong that I seen was the white Orange or red and black, but I'm sure they were more... Again Great Machine... Thanks for Sharing...

Happy New Year 2022 big bro Lou!! Oh boy-this Trans Am is the stuff of dreams, man. I love these second gen F bodies. Thanks to Barry for this blue beauty. Oh man!!!!-it's like Michelle Pfeiffer teaching that English class on Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" in 9th grade and me and Ralphie Ruocco both in our twitching tubesocked stocking feet, sneakers kicked off God knows where lol ;). These cars are so incredible Lou! Thanks big brother. :) JV Johnny

Love these cars! Thanks Lou😁

1970-1973 T/A are my favorite cars! Thanks Lou!

In 73 my cousin had that very model.I later had a red 73 TA,& a 75 that had a ram air 4 engine transplanted. Unbelievable the rear spoiler aligns well on this 1.This was my favorite of the bunch over the original white & blue 69 & the later bandit models.The 01 ws6 were cool too.Happy new year Lou.

Another great one. Sounds awesome. Happy nee year!

Lou, you promised me a treat and really delivered. 3196 trans ams in 70, 3108 with the Ram Air III (366 hp, D port heads) and 88 RamAir IV's ( rated 370 hp, Round port heads) . This one is one of 8 autos with the RA IV. I have always loved the blue color and 70 is my favorite year in styling. Does not get any better than this. I would have ordered a 4 speed if I was old enough to get one then. I had to settle for a new red, 74 trans am with the SD-455 when I got my first car. You know, every dyno test I have ever seen on a Ram Air IV, the engine cranks out between 420 and 440 HP for the stock motor. The RA IV's and SD's were "hand selected" parts built by a single tech at the factory. Hand selected means each part weighed and hand fitted.... they could not say balanced and blueprinted, but that is basically what they did. Way to start the year out great!!!! Thanks Lou.

Best Color Combo !

Love the muscular sounds too!!
