67 GTO royal bobcat
 

My brother came into a find, but I am not sure this is a 67 Royak Bobcat. .it is a 428 car, turbo 400, GM 12 bolt, and a convert. . Am I correct no a true royal bobcat car

Does the car have PHS paperwork, or any other for that matter. This could be a start to prove it is or isn't a Bobcat car. Pictures?

As far as I know, Pontiac never sold a "Royal Bobcat" car. That was just a Ace Wilson Royal Pontiac dealers option. And the only way to prove a car is a Bobcat car from there ,is a receipt from them. About ten tears or so there was a receipt on Ebay that someone paid $1000. for.

Wouldnt a PHS show which dealer it was delivered to?

From the description and facts presented -
i'd say it is just about definitely a Full-Blown 428 Bobcat from Royal . :2cents:

Possibly originally belonged to Milt Schornack when it was new
:D

Even if it was sold at that dealer doesn’t necessarily mean that they also bought the ‘Bobcat’ treatment. I’m sure they sold plenty of regular GTO’s with no modifications.

Not saying it isn’t a Bobcat, and being sold there new would help the story but to say it is definitely a Bobcat I think you will need some additional documentation of some sort.

Two kinds of cars were prepared at Royal Pontiac, those that were Royal Bobcats and those that were " Bobcated". The first are the Royal Bobcat press cars. These were cars that Jim Wangers special ordered from Pontiac that were given the full treatment and used in magazine articles and street raced to promote the dealership. Some of these cars recieved different engines such as 421's, 428's and Ram Air V's. At times they were given special paint schemes along with Bobcat decals. The second kind is the cars that were purchased new at Royal or another dealership that customers payed to have the Bobcat kit installed by Milt Schornack and crew at Royal. The kit included thinner head gaskets, carb jets, distributor springs etc. The kits were usually installed on the original engine for the car. The kits were also available mail order and anyone could install the kit themselves . The only way to prove if a car is a real Royal Bobcat or one that was "Bobcated" at the dealership is to have paperwork from Royal showing what was done to the car.

You made an app to get what Royal treatment you wanted, I have the brochure.
