70 RA III shaker decal - correct or not?
I thought I read somewhere that the 70 RA III cars got no shaker decal but I can't find it again. Is that correct? I've seen some cars that have "RAM AIR" or "RAM AIR III". My car has no decal.
Thanks |

That's good news. One less thing I have to procrastinate about.

Actually in North Buffalo walking home from grade school I would walk past a Chrysler dealer every day and look at the Road Runner and super bee decals on the B body’s , if that’s what you call them and then across the street Delaware Avenue was Brown Pontiac but their cars were always parked in the back of the dealership so we didn’t get to see them as young piss cutters.

No but I did load and move and then unload a 1066 Koehring 75 ton excavator on a 10° day in a snowstorm, That was quite an experience |

My father ran a Goodyear store in West Chester PA. A few doors down was a Chrysler dealer. I remember a white car in the showroom with a huge wing on it. I remember asking my father what that was, he just said "Junk".

I'm gonna make mine a RAM AIR VI. And if I get bored of that I can just keep adding "I"'s until I get up to VIII. Then I'll have a problem.

Had the RAIV decals added to the '70 on the same day I had other decals put on the green '73 in the back ground.
I know it is wrong, but I gave into the urge. I always liked the look of the engine call out. If I grow bored with it, I just have to remove two decals. Last edited by napster; 03-05-2021 at 03:43 PM. Reason: added more info |

Perhaps some purist in the engineering ranks at PMD prevented marketers from putting "RAM AIR" on the T/A shaker, since it would have been technically incorrect.
Forward facing scoops? Sure - that's ram air (although some were certainly more effective than others). But the T/A's scoop faces the wrong way, and it's too far from the high pressure area at the base of the windshield to to get any ram effect from that. "COLD AIR" probably just didn't sound cool enough to put on a sticker.

Then why not try a scoop call out that is close to accurate?
