1969 Pontiac Trans AM Ram Air IV - Barrett Jackson
Does anyone have any insight, history, or information about Lot 1438.2?
https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...-AIR-IV-253716 The description and photo's look okay. It was last sold at Mecum in Denver for $180K. Based on the description it does not retain its born with engine but it is not clear. I figured some of the experts here may have more info about the car. Thanks |

that's a neat car!
(and a neat read!) RAIV & a coulmn shifted automatic seems almost like a contradiction of sorts!?

Not many automatics had stacked gauges.

Something must be wrong with me. Even though it's the rarest of the rare and best engine with corporate Pontiac provenance, the column shift just kills it for me. Who at PMD ordered that?! Not that it matters, this car is so out of my financial league.

They just didn't order the console, so they put the shifter on the column.

There's nothing wrong with you.
I'd rather a RAIII/mt Formula (only because those are the most valuable of the 70 Formula's) any day of the week over this...

Well time has proven that you made a very smart move. As a side note, the only legit '69 TA I have seen in person was in Washington State; It was owned by the gentleman who owned (and lived across the road from) All American; My impression for videos and the like is that alot of '69 T/A's are in Washinton state!?

Thanks for the input. I have gathered some info on the car and will look at it in person this weekend. From what I have discovered the car has more issues than I would want.

It would be a great car to add to your stable but the column shift might be tough to get over.

I like the column shift, a lot of hemi cars and LS-6 Chevelle's were column shift.

One oddity I love in 69 Firebirds is the bench seat. It's a very rare option and puts three people in the front. You have to have a column shift, so the combo with the bench seat is awesome. It's kind of a cleaner look too with buckets.
