In the Pontiac community Ram Air IV GTOs are some of the most sought after and desirable cars to own! This example is one of 549 Ram Air IV GTO hardtops built with the 4-speed transmission. Additionally, according to the Ram Air Registry, only one silver / blue Ram Air IV / 4 Speed GTO is known to exist making this an extremely rare and desirable GTO.

This GTO was built on 3/11/1969 and shipped to Murray andamp; Holt Motors in Bend Oregon, where it was ordered by an individual from Reno Nevada where it remained for many years. This particular car was custom ordered in the ultra-rare Palladium Silver exterior with blue interior combination. Notable factory options include the famous Ram Air IV engine, close-ratio M21 4-speed transmission, HD Safe-T-Track rear axle, 3.90:1 gears, Rally II wheels, Soft Ray Glass, and an AM radio. According to history, the original owner enjoyed street racing in the desert outside of Las Vegas and sadly, the original engine was destroyed within months of taking delivery. Fortunately however, a date correct WW engine was sourced for the restoration. A complete restoration was performed two years ago. The car was completely disassembled for restoration. Any sheet metal that had rust was replaced. A fresh coat of the correct Palladium silver paint was applied with three coats of clear. The blue bucket seat interior was restored using factory correct materials. The Ram Air IV engine assembly was professionally built and verified by engine builder Paul Spotts with modern components including a roller valve train. The transmission was professionally rebuilt, case bead blasted and cleared. Everything on this car has been restored, dated and detailed exactly as it was produced by Pontiac in 1969. Additional options that were added during the restoration were power steering and power brakes for safety, and an original rear spoiler. Included in the sale is a complete set of the PHS paperwork for both the car and engine, PMD window sticker, build sheet, Protect-O-Plate, warranty card from selling dealer, and original dealer sales contract.
