Introducing a true automotive legend, the 1969 Pontiac Trans Am. This remarkable vehicle has just emerged onto the open marketplace for the very first time, and it’s a rarity you won’t want to miss. With only 697 authentic 1969 Trans Am Ram III cars ever produced, this one comes with PHS documentation to prove its genuine pedigree. This classic boasts a factory deluxe interior with a tachometer, factory AM/FM radio, wood wheel, and stack gauges, all showcasing its originality. Under the hood lies the holy grail of Pontiac Racing History, the 400ci Ram Air V Engine, with stampings that suggest it could be the very first of its kind. Notably, this car features real Ram Air V F Body exhaust manifolds with factory heat shields, a rare find indeed.
The restoration and build of this iconic vehicle were entrusted to the late Bruce Logan, and the stamped #1 400ci Ram Air V was acquired from Phil Baumann, a renowned expert in the field. This Trans Am is equipped with a GM Holley Carburetor and a correct RAM V Distributor, ensuring its performance matches its heritage. According to articles and discussions, the car underwent a meticulous restoration in 1987 by Pontiac experts at Z&Z in California, earning it a featured spot in the August 1988 High Performance Pontiac Magazine.
Recently, this piece of automotive history received a full detailing, both inside and out, and was given the attention it deserved by Kilpatrick Engine and Transmission.
