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.

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.

Its a base Firebird, wrong rad support for a 70

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.

if you get the info off the cowl tag you can narrow it down. Was it a manual trans??

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?
