1970 Pontiac Trans Am Ram Air IV For Sale Documented Factory Ram
Air IV, 1 Of Only 29 Built LMC is very proud to offer for sale this
1970 Pontiac Trans Am Ram Air IV The 1970 model year marked a bold
new direction for Pontiac, introducing the completely redesigned
second-generation Trans Am-longer, lower, and far more aggressive
in both styling and performance. With its functional shaker hood,
front and rear spoilers, and race-inspired stance, the Trans Am was
engineered to dominate both the street and the track. At the top of
the performance hierarchy sat the legendary Ram Air IV option,
widely regarded as the most potent and sophisticated factory engine
Pontiac ever installed in a production muscle car. Under the hood,
the Ram Air IV 400 cubic-inch V8 was a no-compromise
high-performance engine, factory-rated at 370 horsepower but widely
understood to produce significantly more. Featuring high-flow
round-port cylinder heads, a radical camshaft, aluminum intake
manifold, and functional ram air induction, the RAIV was designed
with racing in mind-delivering explosive top-end power and
unmistakable character. Backed by the M40 automatic transmission,
this example offers a rare combination of brute performance and
drivability, with only 29 produced. Of the mere 88 Ram Air IV Trans
Ams built for 1970, just 64 were assembled at the Norwood, Ohio,
plant, placing this example among an already elite subset of one of
Pontiac's most exclusive muscle cars. Its rarity is matched by its
provenance, having been sold new through Johnson Pontiac in
Clinton, Iowa, and today accompanied by Pontiac Historic Services
(PHS) documentation verifying its factory specifications and
authenticity. This particular Trans Am has also earned recognition
within the hobby, having been featured on the cover and in the
pages of High Performance Pontiac magazine-an honor reserved for
only the finest and most significant examples. Following a previous
body-off restoration the car has remained in a private collection,
it was returned to factory-correct standards with great attention
to detail. Every component has been carefully restored or
refinished, from the highly detailed undercarriage to the engine
bay, ensuring quality throughout. The result is a show-quality
example that accurately reflects how these cars appeared when new,
while maintaining the integrity expected of a top-tier collector
vehicle. The 1970 Ram Air IV Trans Am represents the pinnacle of
Pontiac's muscle car era-combining extreme rarity, documented
history, and uncompromising performance. For collectors, it stands
as one of the most coveted American muscle cars ever produced, and
an essential centerpiece in any serious collection. Additional
