Frame Off Built West Coast Trans Am 460/450 HP V8 3 Speed Auto 12 Bolt 3.42 A/C
Assembled at GM's fabled Van Nuys manufacturing facility in May of 1970, this awesome Trans Am was shipped across the country to Koopman Pontiac in Sheldon, Iowa where it began a 45-year existence filled with immaculate maintenance and impeccable care. Today, wearing a professional restoration that was conducted by the crew at MASCAR Auto Body of Costa Mesa, California, the car displays a glossy coat of correct Lucerne Blue 2-stage. And that cool pigment is complemented by a correct set of “TRANS AM” call-outs which, along with a centered roof stripe and aggressive 'Screaming Chicken' header decal, create some of the most iconic and desirable war paint in automotive history. Take a look under the car's hood and you'll find an original, 400 cubic inch L74 Ram Air III V8 that, in addition to wearing all the right numbers, has been overbored to produce 450 horsepower and 525 lb./ft. of tire-shredding torque. Behind that monster motor, a rugged Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed spins power to a 12-bolt posi-traction rear end that's fitted with friendly 3.42 gears. Below that stellar drivetrain, a lowered Trans Am suspension, which includes factory power steering, thicker sway bars, better shocks and stiffer springs, combines with standard issue power front disc and rear drum brakes to provide quick stops and great handling. And that roster of proven hardware rolls on 17-inch Pontiac Rally II replicas, which twist 245/45 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports in front of 255/45 BF Goodrich g-Force Sports. If you're in the market for an old school classic that's the quintessential American muscle car, here it is! Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information.
