$40,000

A bare 4spd body just sold out of New Jersey for over $20,000 and they made 199 of those. Only 47 of these built, less than 10 known to have survived and you get all the good stuff with it plus a TON of NOS parts.

Default 68 gto..

Is the TH400 trans in this car similar to the hi-shift point units that were installed behind the solid lifter Chevy big block cars?? I just thought with that motor and a 4.33 rear axle, the trans would need to be something special...

Very cool ride...it must really haul the mail.

With the THM transmissions the higher the second letter correlates to a higher performance level.
The SD455 cars got PQ,The highest level I know of in the Pontiac line. This RAII should be close to the Q.

It would be a PQ, the transmission is the only specific part I do not have.

I have the correct rear, block, heads, crank, carb - all specific to the RA II or 68 RA program but I have yet to find a correct trans.

Post Pontiac trans..

I would still be interested to know the performance stats of the TH400 used in these hi-po Pontiac cars...did they have the hd internals and hi-shift point governor like the Chevy applications..? 6 lug convertor?

I just sold a 68 PQ transmission. I didn't know I would have told you about it.

The PQ trans I had in my 74 SD455 shifted at 5500. I would not twist a Pontiac up to 6000.
No need to.

New price - $35,000 or make offer.

This is now below break-up value with all of the NOS parts that go with it.
