1969 PONTIAC FIREBIRD TRANS AM RAM AIR III

This highly coveted 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is a great example of an original matching-numbers and limited-production American Muscle Car. It was evaluated and verified by Pontiac expert Jim Mattison in March 2024, which is documented with a letter that's included. Jim Mattison is the owner of PHS Automotive Services in Shelby Township, MI. The Pontiac Historical Services (PHS) paperwork is also included. This is one of 697 Trans Am models built in 1969 and one of only 43 with a black interior. It was built at the General Motors Norwood Ohio Assembly Plant on June 23, 1969. It was ordered with a Cameo White (code 50-50) exterior and standard black bucket-seat (code 208) interior. The optional equipment included the Trans Am Package, push-button AM radio, console and 4-speed manual transmission. The Trans Am Package includes specific Ram Air hood and air inlet, front fender scoops, specific Trans Am rear spoiler, full-length stripes on the hood, roof and decklid, Trans Am decals, F70x14 whitewall or white-letter tires, sport steering wheel, 400 HO Ram Air III V8 engine, dual exhaust, Safe-T-Track rear axle with 3.55 gears, variable-ratio power steering, ride and handling package, HD stabilizer bar and power front disc brakes. It was sold new at McNamara Buick-Pontiac in Port Jefferson, NY. From the information gathered, it spent its entire life in New York until 2024. The last owner purchased the car in 2013 from an estate. At the time of the acquisition, the car was in very good original condition. It was the product of a complete and correct restoration in 2016 that was finished in 2020. Since completion, it has been driven 100 test miles, which is indicated on the new odometer. The body was placed on a rotisserie and media-blasted. It retains all of its sheet metal with the exception of the reproduction hood, two GM NOS front fenders, GM NOS right rear quarter, reproduction left rear quarter and GM NOS tail panel. The body is extremely straight with excellent panel fitment. The original doors open and close very nicely. It was refinished in its colors of Cameo White with blue stripes and tail panel. The paint work is show-quality throughout and was recently detailed to a brilliant shine. All the glass was replaced new and is crystal-clear. Everything on the exterior was restored or replaced. It's equipped with T3 headlights and its original spoiler. The car sits on the original JK-stamped 14x7 wheels wrapped with new Goodyear Polyglas F70-14 white-letter tires. The interior was refinished in its original color of black, which is very rare to find based on production numbers. Everything in the interior was restored or replaced. It sports an authentic black Formula steering wheel, simulated wood console, Hurst shifter and rubber mats with Pontiac logo. The trunk compartment was beautifully restored with the correct stickers, splatter paint, original space-saver spare, GM tire inflator, jack tools and trunk mat. The engine compartment is highly detailed throughout. The car is powered by the original matching-numbers L74 400 HO Ram Air III V8 that was factory-rated with 335hp. The engine was completely rebuilt to factory specifications and runs excellent. The engine is coupled to the original matching-numbers M20 4-speed wide-ratio transmission. The transmission was also completely rebuilt to factory specifications and shifts smoothly. The power is transferred to the original 10-bolt Safe-T-Track rear axle with 3.55 gears. The undercarriage is also highly detailed throughout. The original floors are in beautiful condition and were repainted in the correct fashion. The steering system, suspension components and power braking system were rebuilt to factory specifications. This car has been completely serviced and detailed, which is documented with an invoice that's included. This is the first time it's been marketed for sale.
