I just had to.
Went back and cleaned up the Ram2 Bird some more.

ramair2 and BlkBrd : When you go to scan your Order Form detail sheets - you can change it to "text" or "black-white" selection on scanner options - instead of "color" or "picture". This will lower the file size dramatically. Been there/done that.

There should be a third or even fourth sheet involved with the two sheets that ramair2 already posted.

I have never PHS'd a 68. But have done a few 67 GTO's. Using those 67 sheets I have found some more useful data for this Bird.

#568 is the Notchback seat.

#742 "should" concern differential - maybe optional gear (charge-no charge?). Sales code column 74 pertains to differentials in 1967. Would be on sheet #3 or #4.

#37P is still mysterious. But it (37P) also appears on BlkBrds Ram1. Since you both also have option #554 Custom in common, I'm guessing it has some pertinence to a detail involved with the Custom option. More than likely a non-charge item, like #375 on the Goats.

In all truth - I'm just guessing that 554 is Custom. 37P could be Custom. One of them is. They are both (554 - 37P) shared by yours and BlkBrd's both physically and on paper. You guys need to dig in a lil deeper and scoure those sheets.

#754 shoulder belts is only a "charge" item on Convertibles.

$115.00 is missing from this list. Plenty of room was left for Ram2 status though. : )

There could be a "MEMO-SPECIAL EQUIPMENT" involved with your Car. Or a price increase in base price. Just launching some possibilities.
