Here is our newest addition to the Ram Air II GTO Registry.
It is the earliest built GTO unit we have documented so far.
The owner is from Arizona and was kind enough to share his BHC document and trim tag with us for the archives.
If I remember right - this is only the 4th Convertible we have confirmed.
Car/Ownership has some pretty wild/interesting back story along with it.
Hopefully he will chime in soon and tell a bit.
Will go back through and update the listing and totals later on this evening.

*Jim Mino has given us previous example of one of the very first few Firebird Ram Air II cars that was initially billed as Ram Air I and Memo'd / Adjusted to Ram Air II in this exact same fashion.
The first week of production / billing for Ram Air II must have been a little sketchy.
