True & Rare GTO Ram Air IV

This is a rare one of 310 made Ram Air IV GTO's with a close ratio speed manual. This car is a frame-off restoration GTO Ram Air IV with only 150 carefully driven miles since its restoration in 2014. Sold originally by Tom Connolly Pontiac in Norwood MA in 1969. This car has been stored in a secure climate-controlled environment. This is a rare original restoration car and one of 310 ten built with a close ratio speed transmission. Here are the factory options confirmed on the Pontiac build sheet which is included with the sale: 4BBL Ram Air IV(400/370HP), 4 SP CLD TRA(Close Ratio 4Speed Transmission), SAF-T-TR-HD (4.33 gears Saf-T-Track differential), Radio-P/B (Push Button Radio), Guage_TA6CL (Rally Gauge Cluster), PWR STRG W/T (Power Steering), Disc Brk: PWR (Power Disc Brakes), SPG&SHKS-R/H (Special Springs and Shocks Package), G70x14 RL FG (Factory Redline Tires), factory hideaway headlights and Trim Code color 57 for Midnight Green Poly Paint.

This was a professional frame off restoration with details down to the original chalk markings on the firewall. Painted in the original and rare Midnight Green Poly. All fluids and filters have been changed and the tires were replaced with period correct reproduction redline tires. The interior of this car is original unrestored and in perfect condition and represents that of a car with only 13,500 original miles.

Car Life magazine road tested a Ram Air IV GTO for its March 1969 issue. With a 3,900-pound test weight, it ran a 0-60 MPH time of 6.2 seconds and covered the standing quarter-mile in 14.45 seconds at 97.8 MPH. With its bare-bones, lightweight body top-level powertrain, this 1969 Pontiac GTO Ram Air IV is a fantastic example of a bare-bones performance machine. It was about as close to a factory lightweight as one could get in the era after the 1963 GM ban on racing, and with its focus more on go than show, it'd make for a fun addition to any GTO, Pontiac or muscle car collection.

The current owner bought this car as an investment back in 2015 and has only put 150 miles on it since with carefully driven miles. It has been in climate controlled secured storage since.

Sale includes pictures of restoration, build sheet, title, owners manual, service manual and extra set of original restored Pontiac Wheels on new tires.
