Thats an awesome car. I can't believe your Mum drove that car!! Driving a Ram Air 400 with 3.90 gears and a 4 speed. I'd love just to chat with her about that

Default Window Decals

Not intending to send this thread too far off 'track', but I still have Dad's track jacket from his GTO days. I'm sure many of the decals on the windows of the '68 would match the patches on this jacket. Dad says that this car, or his previous '64, raced down all these tracks.

I don't have any numbers of what this Royal Bobcat would run, but Dad said that it picked up some time after he drilled holes in the rims and screwed the rear tires to the wheels!

I don't think Mom drove it very often, she had a '65 Tempest convertible

That is about the coolest 68 and story I've ever heard of.

Wow what a find if this car was still in existence...

Thanks for sharing the photos - Epic!

What a piece a nostalgia! I'm just gonna pretend it's in a barn, waiting to be rediscovered,
you'd have to be Ray Charles not to appreciate that art! Thanks for the thread Burgess.



Greg Reid "I love the look myself"

My sentiments exactly Greg, and in a almost endless variety of color combos to boot! Hmmm?
Thanks for the post Royal Bobcat.

The first thing I noticed is the palladium silver two door hardtop cat in the background of one of the initial pics. I know it’s a RA bobcat but I’m a 69 guy, what do you expect ;-)
