Backyard find, 1970 T/A RAIII

[1967Z28]

My bad. I did not pay much attention to the VIN and evidently it is a Norwood car sold new through Knafel Pontiac in Akron, OH which may account for the rust. The CA blue license plate looks to be from around 1972 so it only spent a couple of years back there judging by that. I didn't know PHS sends you the stuff via email this quickly.

He just caught another Lucky Break
Being originally ordered/sold via Knafel is a saving grace for a car that rough.

Not anymore value necessarily when restored being Ram3 Auto AC, but some extra enrichment to its heritage.
Knafel was my favorite race team/dealer.

A Ram4 car from Knafel would be a whole different stratosphere though.
mega-jack plus bonus-jack

Trim Rings were an option, that most didn't spring for.
On 70 T/A

The Docs i posted for the VanNuys car - was also ordered with Trim Rings.

Interesting that it shows the car ordered with trim rings. I thought no T/As got trim rings in 1970, but I'm not a Pontiac expert by any means.

Cool car. Great info Baron. Wow, that hood is really rusty.

[1967Z28]

I didn't get a trim tag photo but here is the VIN on the dash and the door. 228870N115373

Thanks for all the info, Baron.

Hi 1967Z28, are you Jon from camaros.org? I visit the T/A section over there from time to time, love that place and the photos.


Anyways, man that car is in horrible shape, rust really got to it.
I'm curious as to what they did for cruise control or if that's a practical joke. "they" are still out there, for sure; but what of them is left for you to find?..... that's the question!

The apparatus is still on the driver fenderwell apron.
My 77 Can/Am had the exact same looking (aftermarket) set-up underhood and on the turn signal lever.
Worked fine.
I liked it

If the car was selected to have Full Size Spare versus Space Saver (either/or - no cost alternate - not an invoice item) he might find a JW in the trunk.

Every little JW helps !

No keys to the trunk yet but here's a pic of the matching VIN on the block and the cowl tag.
