1969 Firebird Ram Air III

Bryan Lipski's immaculate 1969 Firebird Ram Air III is unmistakably raw power. 

Underneath the hood is the incredible Pontiac 400 engine complete with the obligatory Ram Air induction package, producing 345 bhp @ 5400 rpm and 430 lb-ft of torque @ 3700 rpm.  

In 1969, extensive exterior changes along with a new interior were made to both the convertible and coupe.  They were now longer, wider, and heavier with a new one-piece Lexan front bumper-grill.  Additional changes included: theft prevention steering column ignition and steering gearshift interlock, variable ratio power steering unit and single piston caliper optional disc brakes.  These Firebirds were produced at the Lordstown and Norwood (Ohio) and Van Nuys, California assembly plants).


According to several registry databases, only 1509 of the Ram Air III cars were constructed.  Quick math therefore indicates that Bryan's Ram Air 400 is one of only a very few built.
