Default 1969 Trans AM Ram Air IV tribute

This car was built to replicate the Ram Air IV using a “Stock” appearing theme throughout with a modern performance and handling twist! starting with a rust free Nevada car and including a functioning ram air induction system, sporting a aluminum headed roller cam pump gas Butler 474 tremec tko 5-speed transmissions trimmed to appear stock including a vintage Air conditioning system, Ram Air IV intake, true factory looking 3” long tube exhaust manifolds carried all the way to the back with 3” oval spintech exhaust pipe and mufflers, Bilstein shocks, 2” drop and 2 piece billet 17” polished Bandit - Rally II appearing wheels with factory PMD center caps, 4:10 posi Moser 12 bolt axle with 13" front and 11" rear disc brakes to assist taming this beast, 1st place winner in its class at any show I have been to with it, as clean under car as on top! A true pleasure to drive this performance tribute!!! $50,000. would (and did) cost at least double to duplicate!














BLUE WIRES AND RAD CAP CHANGED TO STOCK LOOKING

I usually don't like restomods, but that's a great looking car. I bet it hauls @$$ too.

I agree, very nice car. (Believing to be the same car I went to inspect) I drove this car when it was for sale up in Canada a couple years ago and was so very tempted to purchase. Had a different gear in it when I looked at it going off memory , 3:42 comes to mind. I can only assume who ever ends up with it will be delighted, very well executed, great stance and all modifications are tastefully done. I wish you good luck with the sale as well.

Yes Tim this is the car with 10k plus added--- tires wheels, brakes work now and new fuel tank that don't leak, AC works now and new cooling system! Gear change was a must in the new rear end ! Also changed and painted anything under the hood that wasn't stock appearing, Thanks

I really really like this car. I could purchase this as I want a hardtop, but the damn weather here in CT makes driving our classics a real challenge. I'm thinking about this car ALOT.

I love this car. My first Pontiac was a 69 Firebird & after that I was hooked.

That is a sweet car!
I don't often go for the resto-mod thing, but I'm loving this one!
