The 1970 Trans-American Sedan Championship season was the fifth season of the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-Am Series. All races used split classes, with shorter races for the Under 2-Liter cars. With Porsche's 911 moving to a 2.2L engine, the year marked the resurgence of Alfa Romeo as dominant in the U2L class. The year also marked the first win of American Motors, with Mark Donohue driving a Penske Racing-prepared Javelin, winning several races. Also winning for the first time was BMW at Bryar and Bridgehampton. Ford and Alfa Romeo won the Over 2 Litre and Under 2 Litre championships respectively.
