Pontiac fans, today is your lucky day! RK Motors Charlotte is happy to feature this killer 1970 Ram Air III, which combines a striking blue on black color combination with an original 400 cubic inch V8 and correct TurboHydramatic 3speed transmission. If you're a Trans Am enthusiast who's searching for the elusive F2 that you can literally purchase and drive straight to the show, we've got the car for you!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Assembled at GM's fabled Van Nuys manufacturing facility in May of 1970, this awesome 'bird was shipped across the country to Koopman Pontiac in Sheldon, Iowa where it began a 45 year existence filled with immaculate maintenance and impeccable care. Today, wearing a professional restoration that was conducted by the crew at MASCAR Auto Body of Costa Mesa, California, the car displays a glossy coat of correct Lucerne Blue 2stage. And that cool pigment is complemented by a correct set of Hw TRANS AMHw callouts which, along with a centered roof stripe and aggressive 'Screaming Chicken' header decal, create some of the most iconic and desirable war paint in automotive history.

ENGINE

Take a look under this Tin Indian's long hood and you'll find an original, 400 cubic inch L74 Ram Air III V8 that, in addition to wearing all the right numbers, has been overbored to produce 450 horsepower and 525 lb./ft. of tireshredding torque. Those numbers include a correct 9799914 casting, a correct Hw YZHw assembly stamp and a matching partial VIN. And the ported and polished block is founded on an Eagle crank, Eagle rods, ROSS Racing pistons and a rowdy Crane cam. Rochester Quadrajet carburetion combines with an MSD coil, a familiar points distributor and high quality Taylor plug wires to kick start combustion. Fuel and air flow in to GM heads, which hang mirrored valve covers over Crane lifters, Smith Brothers pushrods, PRW roller rockers, Manley valves and Comp Beehive springs. Ram Air Products exhaust manifolds flow much better than stock, while appearing to be stock. And traditional Vbelts spin billet timing components behind a beefy Milodon water pump.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Behind that monster motor, a rugged TurboHydramatic 400 3speed, which wears a correct Hw 70PQHw assembly tag, spins power to a 12bolt positraction rear end that's fitted with friendly 3.42 gears. Below that stellar drivetrain, a lowered Trans Am suspension, which includes factory power steering, thicker sway bars, better shocks and stiffer springs, combines with standard issue power front disc and rear drum brakes to provide quick stops and great handling. And that roster of proven hardware rolls on 17inch Pontiac Rally II replicas, which twist 245/45 BF Goodrich gForce Sports in front of 255/45 BF Goodrich gForce Sports.

INTERIOR

Open this coupe's milewide doors and you'll find a fully restored interior that blends seamlessly with the car's bright blue paint! Low back bucket seats are supple, firm, and look every bit as nice and rich as our pictures imply. Between those seats, a molded console founds small power window switches behind a chrome shifter and DelcoGM stereo. And in front of the driver, a black Formula steering wheel spins around a tilting column and stylish, engineturned instrument panel.

If you're in the market for an old school classic that's the quintessential American muscle car, here it is! Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information.
