- Ultra Rare Ram Air IV GTO
- I believe this to be the most well-documented Ram Air IV GTO in existence
- 2-owner car since new
- Sold new at A.E. England Pontiac in Hollywood, CA
- California car since new with all original metal other than the hood
- Original "Black Plate" car
- Nicest unrestored undercarriage & floors I have ever seen due to the car being in a dry climate its entire existence
- Just over 80k original miles
- Ram Air IV 400 cubic inch 370 hp engine
- 4-speed close ratio manual transmission
- Just 310 Ram Air IV GTOs were produced with the 4-speed manual in 1969
- Matching numbers engine & transmission! (VERY RARE to see one of these cars with the original drivetrain still intact)
- Sports Car Market writes: "Now, here is the real rub with Ram Air IV cars. Very few have their original engines. While this is usually a huge deterrent in muscle cars, Ram Air IV buyers have generally accepted that most of these cars lost their original blocks as a result of having a notorious aversion to high RPM"
- This car was heavily street raced early in its life
- The original 10 bolt rear end was replaced with a 12 bolt for added strength for drag racing
- The original engine was removed due to valve spring issues common with the Ram Air IV high-lift camshaft and original metallurgy. It was sold and replaced in the early 70s with a 389 Tri Power engine and the car continued to be extensively raced on the street
- In 2004, the original matching numbers WW code block was purchased via an Ebay auction for $7,500 and sent to Ken's Speed & Machine Shop in Brooksville, FL where it received a full rebuild (receipts included)
- Seventeen years later, the car was located with its matching numbers 4-speed still intact and purchased from the original owner in Sun Valley, CA and was reunited with its original engine!
- Highly-optioned car (unusual to see with Ram Air IV cars since they were primarily used for racing)
- Factory ordered with rare HD 4.33 gears
- Bucket seats with console
- Power steering
- Power disc brakes
- Covered headlamps
- Hood tachometer
- This is an INCREDIBLY WELL-DOCUMENTED CAR
- PHS documentation showing the original options ordered
- Original window sticker showing $1,231.70 in options for a total $4,544.70 MSRP (huge for the time)
- Original Protect-O-Plate
- Original warranty pamphlet
- Original sales contract
- Original purchase order
- Original Scheduled Car Price Sheet
- Original 1969 California Registration
- Original black California license plate that the car ran on its entire life
- License plate bracket from the dealer who sold the car new in Hollywood
- I even have the business card from the salesman who sold the car new
- Copy of the title when the car was purchased from the original owner
- Original owner's manual
- Copy of Classic Car VIN trace used to find the car after the original engine was purchased
- Receipt from Ebay for the engine purchase in 2004
- Invoice from the machine shop for the engine rebuild
- 16 years of correspondence between the original owner and second owner who reunited it with its original engine
- Restored in its original color combination of Mayfair Maize with black vinyl interior by Auto Restorations by Harry in Malabar, FL
- Very nice paint & gaps
- Exceptional interior & trunk with correct full size spare
- Rally II wheels wrapped in period correct Coker Firestone Wide Oval tires
- Current Hagerty book value $161,000 plus a 15% add for a 4-speed, $185,150. This figure does not take into account the priceless amount of documentation this car has
This is, quite frankly, a once in a lifetime opportunity for a Pontiac collector or enthusiast to own a car of this rarity & desirability that is backed up by every piece of important paperwork you could imagine.
