You were smart and lucky to grab that one.

It was available for a while before you bought it , so that likely worked its way into your favor at the cash register .

Not many chances come along to own one of these GrandDaddy RoundPorts
Its a good looking RamAir II 4spd and is amongst a very very limited amount of known survivors.

Thanks for the compliments. You would be surprised how many people think it is Verdoro Green. I think a lot of cars have been painted with varying shades of Verdoro to the point a lot of folks don't know what it is really supposed to look like.

I have a 2506 WY date code correct block for the car. Working on 273 carb and 941 distributor. Those are the last two items I need to complete a correct RA II engine. These cars are intriguing and I am enjoying mine.
