All 70 Trans Ams came with chrome valve covers and all Ram Air IV T/As came with a dual snorkel air cleaners. The scoop is obviously a pre-production prototype.

Yes RAIV and looks like California delivered car . Also automatic and has a very early production dash face which you would not see on a RAIV TA . So there are some contradictions if these pics are all of same car .

It looks like a 4 speed to me, too. I can see the letter H on the shift handle. Plus no console so if it was automatic it would be column shift most likely.

What about the brake pedal?

I've heard original 70's were called 400 HO engines before the RAlll moniker evolved.. no idea if that is correct, just thought I'd add my 2c
