The Unique And Valuable Ram Air V Trans Am Is Still On The Road
Luckily, the ultra-rare Ram Air V Pontiac Trans Am remains on the road to this day and was sold to a new owner back in 2019. Listed on Mecum Auctions, the vehicle still looked in excellent condition at the time. The ivory and blue paintwork still looked as fresh as the day it left the production line, while the interior still looked largely pristine.

Tom, was that car factory power disc?

All 69 TAs were supposed to be power disk brakes and variable ratio power steering as it's part of the TA package.

My thought would be a RA V would not have enough vacuum to properly run an 11" booster - but if stock GM thought different.

The factory cams were not that aggressive.AND the factory never put them in any pass cars!The only time I had brake issue was with 245-252@50 on a 110.It was always good for at least one hard stop.Tom

So this isn't the same RA V car as Bruce Logan was assembling at Z & Z on Lemon St around 1987? I heard it run while the fenders and seats weren't yet installed.

tom s 06-12-2024 03:33 PM

Th Throttle Stop car is the Logan car!Note!They have 2 69 TAs.Tom

einstein 06-12-2024 06:02 PM

Throttle Stop site only shows the poverty cap car on its inventory.
