1970 - 1981 Firebird COLD-CASE Aluminum Radiator for Automatic Trans, Black Night Rider Series 1970 - 1981 Firebird Black Night Rider Series Aluminum Performance Radiator for Automatic transmission models. The Night Rider Black series radiators blend performance with original appearance to give you the best of both worlds. You will be hard pressed to find a difference between an original versus a COLD-CASE. These COLD-CASE radiators are Tig welded 100 percent aluminum and feature OEM appearing stamped tanks. This 1970 - 1981 Pontiac Firebird COLD-CASE radiator is powder coated black for an original muscle car look. Don't buy a 3 or 4 row aluminum radiator! It doesn't cool as good as this oversize 2 row model with (2) 1.25" cores, better flow and higher cooling rate. Perfect for that restored car wanting the appearance of stock without sacrificing performance.
- Black Powder Coat Finish: Provides a sleek, classic look that perfectly complements restored muscle cars.
- Superior Performance: Delivers the same cooling efficiency and durability as our traditional radiators.
- Direct-Fit Applications: Designed to fit factory fan shrouds for a hassle-free installation.
- Lifetime Warranty & 60 Day Cool Guarantee: Backed by our industry-leading warranty for your peace of mind.

Why Cold Case?
Here at Cold Case, our goal is to produce the highest quality aluminum radiator, make every model be a direct fit, look original, all while maintaining a reasonable price point. Our extensive research and development team ensures that you are getting a drop in radiator with every purchase. We don't cut corners or cross over year ranges if the dimensions are close. If we list it, it's a direct fit with no modifications to be made. All Cold Case Radiators Feature: - Lifetime Warranty - 60 Day COOL Guarantee - Correct OEM Fitment - 100% Expert TIG Welded - 2 Oversized Cooling Rows - (2x) 1" to 1 1/4" Tubes Per Row - OEM Stamped Tanks
Cold Case radiators vs. the competition. Cold Case welds are on the inside of the tank instead of the outside. Also note the ability to install an original looking radiator cap on Cold Case Models
Our Cold-Case radiators are 42.7 % lighter than a comparable copper radiator but have 30% more material thickness than the cheaply made no-name radiators.
Fluids enter the radiator by water pump pressure, but also pass through the radiator by gravity. Therefore, in most situations, there are always hot and cold spots in traditional radiators. Cold Case Dual or Tri Flow* designed radiators more evenly distributes the fluid eliminating hot and cold spots. Look for the Dual or Tri-Flow symbols on your favorite radiator. (Top/bottom tank radiators physically can't utilize dual flow and must have offset inlet and outlets to make tri-flow possible. Therefore the availability of Tri-Flow in Top/Bottom tank radiators is limited.)
