Pontiac Trans Am
In 1969, Pontiac wanted to present a model they could homologate for Trans-Am racing, but the company was under a racing ban from GM. So to mask its intentions, Pontiac introduced the Firebird Trans Am as a loaded version. It featured big block power from the famous 400 V8 engine with the Ram Air III or IV intake system.
The difference between those engines was significant since the Ram Air IV featured a lot of improved engine internals and components. However, they rated them both rated at 366 HP, which was underrated. Sadly, this special version with its signature white paint, blue stripes, Rally II wheels, and other equipment proved to be a tough seller. So, the only sold 634 Firebird Trans Ams. And among those, only eight were convertibles.
