Western New York Supercars

[auwrestling]

In 1970 Pontiac built 3196 TRANS AMS and only 88 came with the top dog RAIV engine . 6 of these super rare and desirable RAIV TAs went to dealerships in NYS . All 6 of these dealerships were located between Syracuse and Buffalo (Niagara Falls ) ! Four of these six cars are white and two are blue and out of the six only one white one is an automatic . One can say all six are western NY cars but Syracuse is debateable . More information and some pictures to come. Don’t get too excited because they all have been found.

I owned a couple of the red SD 74s you’re talking about.
WE ALSO HAD TWO OF THE 74 ADMIRALITY BLUE FOUR-SPEED CARS FROM THE BUFFALO AREA , not on your list .
The white on white 4 Spd 73 on your list is one of the best ones in the country . It’s is not around here anymore too bad
I’ll cover the 73 SD TRANS AMs later if there’s interest . Some real good ones still around !!

Did you have both red cars? I had no idea there were 2 Admiralty blue cars, that’s so cool! I’ll have to look at the registry again to add to to mine with info and stuff.
You really are the most knowledgeable in the area!

I’ve had at least 6 - 74 Super duties from the Western New York area 3 4speeds the rest automatics ,three red ,two blue and one white. And that’s what I can remember as I think about it . I’ll probably come up with a couple more 74 SDs that I’ve had over the years.

There’s a white 1971 HO 455 car in Buffalo, not sure who the owner is but the vin is 228871N110001 which is a super early Vin, if not #1. Do you know this car or these vins well enough to know if it’s the first?
I know you said you had the first RAII Firebird, like the white one at Mecum.
Pontiacs galore

A low 1971 455 Ho ta would be 228871N100___
Our 68 RAII FB is a lower vin than the white fb.

So it just so happens that it’s number 1001 or whatever Firebird made that year? That’s still actually really fascinating.
Your FB is a lower vin? Wouldn’t be the first time a auction house lied but that’s really interesting, theirs was 163680
So was your 68 also built on the first day? Neat to know such a historically Important GM car is so close to home!

I'm interested, did the '73 white/white SD 4sp go to CA years ago? I know an original paint lower mileage car in CA that might be white/white, Please include the RAII cars...
To all, not sorry about the WNY Pontiac vibe.
