1970 Pontiac Trans Am Ram Air III

1970 Pontiac Trans Am Ram Air III Description:

I’m selling my 1970 ½ Pontiac Trans am Ram Air III that I acquired eight years ago to do a high-end restoration. My intentions were to make this car virtually brand new again, which I’ve nearly done so. As you can tell from the photos, this is a project car that’s roughly 90% completed. All the hard work, and expensive parts has been done/purchased, but with no time to spare, I’m moving it along at a heavy loss for someone else to finish. The photos in the link provided give a fantastic look at the project progression from where I bought it, to where it is now. Please look through them prior to asking questions.

Below are the highlights of what’s been done so far and what it needs, but I’ll gladly talk serious inquiries through the extensive details and parts replaced:

Here’s a quick history, and specs, about the car, verified by PHS documentation:

·Automatic Transmission. Original, but freshly rebuilt.

·Factory AC car

·Originally Lucerne Blue with Medium Blue interior. 1 of 708 in this color combination.

·It is not numbers matching. The block is indeed a 400, but from 1975.

Body:

All of the hard work, and bulk of expense, has been completed. It just needs final assembly with glass, trim, and lighting. Labor, and very few parts are actually needed to complete exterior. These steps were documented through photos in provided link.

·Pypes Exhaust System installed

oBlack Dash Pad, Door panels, Seat covers, Carpet, Headliner

·New black Steering Wheel

Overall, this is a great, rare TA that just needs minor parts and final assembly. I’ve had a lot of money put into the project, and professionals have done most of the work. However, There is quite a bit of work left to enjoy it, but this Trans Am is now nearly new. I replaced many parts to do everything correctly for this car to last me a long time. I’ll gladly talk through the build with serious buyers, as there’s far too much to list. I have piles of receipts that come with the car, along with the PHS documentation. Unfortunately, I cannot finish the build due to lack of time and space, so I’m selling at a massive loss. As they say, my loss is your gain.

AZ Title in hand, and please, only serious inquiries, and offers. I know the market on these cars, and my asking price is fair, but I’m willing to work with serious buyers to get this TA into a good home. Low-ball offers will be ignored, as I’m not in any hurry to sell. Car will need to be trailered away, and will come with all the parts above, and more that I didn’t list and am forgetting.

Thank you for your interest, and message me with questions, and offers. If you want to discuss the car, please send a phone number and I’ll call. A full Google photo album is available upon request with full pictures from the day I brought it home 7 years ago.

Car is being sold as is, where is, with no warranties of any kind implied. Buyer is responsible for pickup of vehicle, shipping costs and arrangements.
