1971 Trans Am build dates
I've got a question for the experts out there: When did production of 71 T/A's begin? I looked at a blue on blue 4 speed yesterday with an 08E build date that was shipped to Vincel Pontiac in St. Louis Mo. on 9/20/70. Also wondering which Rally II's should be on the car because it currently has honeycombs on it. PHS says its a 3 option car with tinted glass, AM radiio and a console.

08E was likely the first or second week of production. It most likely had late dated JWs on it, like June or July dates. Was it a Norwood or VN car?

The car may have come with honeycombs unless you know differently. I don't believe they show up on the PHS for 1971.

They don't show up on the PHS for TAs as far as I know, but, I don't think they were available until around the middle of the production year (Jan or Feb 71).

I thought honeycombs were a mid year choice that was free in 71. It's a Norwood car but does not have a build sheet with it, only the PHS. Nice driver, with 60,000 and a few extras added in the late 80's or early 90's when it was restored.

Carnut, That's what I thought too. When the phs came back with honeycombs, I was pleasantly surprised. It is a Norwood car. 228871n1278xx

I thought honey combs were standard in 71.

How's it going Eric?
Boomershine had some well connected people working there back in the day- Beswick's Passionate Poncho II ended up there, right before it vanished. There is a silver 69 judge that comes our BOP show. One of the best looking colors on a 69 Judge I've seen. The stripe really pops out against the silver. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
