19701/2 Trans Am Ram Air III. Ram Air H.O. WS 400 345 HP motor(L74) with factory 4 speed with Hurst shifter. 12 bolt rear end with 3:73 gears. With just 39,863 documented original miles, this classic retains a whole lot of its originality. Driven less than 500 miles since 1972 when it was added to a large car collection and sat undisturbed until 2012. At this time the motor was rebuilt to factory specs due to sitting for almost 40 years. It also received its first repaint in the correct Polar white then put back in storage. The car runs strong, shifts smoothly and handles amazingly well for retaining all its original suspension/steering components, including the factory spiral front shocks. The original open face alternator was rebuilt. Other than new pads, the brake system has never been touched and the car brakes well. The car sits on its original wheels with BF Goodrich tires that were put on the car in 1972.Yes, they are 45 years old but I could not bring myself to remove them. The interior retains all its original components except the carpet and shifter boot (Which I have). Has the rare working rear defroster and tilt wheel. Absolutely everything thing works including the clock, dome light, tach, heater, all factory gauges, all lights and even the horn. The radio was removed prior to 1972 but still has front and rear factory speakers. Interior is in very nice shape. The exterior as mentioned was repainted in 2012. It is believed to retain all its original sheet metal with no rust repair ever. The body is straight and tight. Doors do not sag and operate like new. Overall, very nice driver quality paint. The car was delivered new from the US to General Motors engineering of Canada in Oshawa Ontario on April1 1970. The car was used as a “test mule” for the next year while in the hands of GM engineering. During this time, a prototype sunroof was installed to GM factory production standards but was never available as an option as Pontiac went with the T-tops. It works great and does not leak. The other notable change during this time was a Pontiac aluminum intake was installed possibly to mimic the Ram Air IV motor. It retains the quad 4-bbl with a manual choke. In 1971 it was transferred to Terry Godsall of the Titus Godsall Trans Am Racing Team who sold it to the longtime owner in 1972. The car was never raced and was believed to be used for promotional purposes. It has never been plated/registered for legal road use. I have tried to be as descriptive as possible with the knowledge I have concerning this car. I have included as many high-quality photos as allowed. The link below will provide even more photos, two running videos and PHS documentation. With only 1769 4 speed Ram Air III cars made, this very low mile, unrestored PHS documented America muscle car survivor is a rare find. This is the real deal Ram Air III.
