Default Picked up another '70
A couple of weeks ago this popped up on ebay and was only 350 miles from home. Lucerne blue 70 Trans Am RAIII 4 speed. Running driving car that still retains all of its original drivetrain.

The darker blue one is the one I bought last December.

Both cars are blue/blue RAIII 4 speed 3.73 12 bolt and are pretty much twins.

Not sure why the pictures came out so small.

Its a good straight car that still retains a lot of its originality.

I need to do something about the ride height. I think someone rearched the springs.
