Purchased by James Black Pontiac Cadillac 30 years ago and after full frame off restoration placed in our Pontiac
showroom for 3 decades. The T/A has not been driven on the road since restoration 30 years ago. Kept in Heated
and Humidly Controlled A/C Showroom. We rebuilt it to forever keep it in our Pontiac Showroom as a display
peace of Pontiac history but with Pontiac out of business we decided to sell it. Every aspect of the restoration was
done better than GM to show our beautiful 1970 Trans AM Ram Air III AND show the quality of our service /
body departments. GM should have never closed Pontiac!

MECHANICAL:
Rebuilt Original Engine, uncie Transmission, riginal Carburetor, riginal Alternator. Tore apart entire wiring
harness and replaced/repaired all corrosion/damage.

Replaced water pump, ll suspension parts, hocks, prings, ll brake and fuel lines with stainless steel lines,
brake calipers/cylinders & hardware, aster Cylinder, rake Booster, tarter, wheel bearings, eater core,
radiator, ll rubber hoses, elts, amp; vacumn lines, indshield wiper motor, lower motor.

INTERIOR:
Replaced all seat and door covers, eadliner, arpet, eatherstrips, nd trunk mats with GM Restoration parts.
Aftermarket Seat belts are in vehicle as we could not find our original ones (lost during rebuild - only mistake we
made during rebuild).

BODY:
Any black color body part was removed, and blasted, ipped in an acid wash and powder coated in satin black
color. Interior body panels were cleaned (removed a lot of rustproofing original owner put on vehicle when new)
treaded and coated with an industrial rust prevention coating. The entire body was stripped to metal, rimed with
self etching primer (Dupont Variprime), hen hi build 2 stage Dupont epoxy primer (and then left to sit for 12
months to dry/shrink). After the 12 month drying period it was blocked and painted and then again blocked
between every 2nd coat and cleared with Dupont 2 stage Chroma-Clear. 3 decades later the paint is still in beautiful
condition. All paint products used were of the Dupont Chromabase System. (It helps it has never been outside in
30 years). All decals were replaced with GM OEM parts that were still able to get 30 years ago.

ORIGINAL WHEELS:
CORRECT ORIGINAL “JW” 15" WHEELS were sandblasted, nd painted in original colors.
ORIGINAL ENGINE #S - 400 Ram Air III
UPPER # 05587 WS
LOWER # N119386 - VIN# (1 NUMBER EARLY as T/A VIN # is N119387)

This is the original engine that came with vehicle from the Norwood GM factory in May of 1970. GM crossed
engines as they got out of sequence on the factory line in 1970 (this was before computers and bar code readers).
Date code is correct, ngine code WS is correct; the engine VIN number is the engine that should have been put
in the Trans AM BEFORE this Trans AM. As a GM, ontiac, adillac dealer our sources at the time at GM told
us that this happened a lot before the time of computers. The line employees would have a delay or problem and
instead of holding up the line they would grab the next part and it was never caught.

The Engine was professionally rebuilt with new GM parts and started a couple times per year but never driven on
the road. It may have 6 hours of running time but ZERO miles driven on odometer. Since it was rebuilt 30 years
ago we were able to use all New GM Parts in the rebuild. New GM Parts replaced were the Camshaft,
Crankshaft, istons, ings, ll Seals, ll Bearings, nd Gaskets. The block was cut 30 thousands over and the
heads were reconditioned with a valve cut. Engine and car only had 46,300 miles on it when we started the rebuild
so it was in pretty good condition when we purchased it 30 years ago it but now it has zero miles on it after the
rebuild.

Not original M20 Muncie as our main case had a crack in it. This M20 is the same year and type used in our T/A

on 1-4-14.

All new Bearings, ain & Counter Shaft, ynchronizers, olts and case was coated with Teflon to reduce
friction.
